20-Night Trip on AmaVerde
Grand Danube Cruise
Cruise, Cruisetour, River cruise, Small Ship/Yacht
Prague to Istanbul Cruisetour
Journey along paths forged by conquerors, crusaders and kings through Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia,
Hungary, Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. Step back in time to explore the history and mystery living in
the hillsides while cruising the Danube and through the Iron Gates. Legends of all kinds are waiting to be
uncovered—Belogradchik, one of Bulgaria’s natural wonders; the Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo, built into the
side of a mountain showcasing well-preserved medieval frescos; and the 14th-century Bran Castle, once home to
Vlad the Impaler who inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Experience the Romans’ influence firsthand in Pécs, “the
city of Mediterranean impressions," and through the taste of wine in Ilok, a center of wine production since Roman
times. From imposing capitals—Prague, Vienna, Budapest and Istanbul—to towns lost in time, immerse yourself
in the colorful folktales and traditions of the extraordinary people and places you visit along the way.

About AmaVerde
Ship Overview
AmaVerde
One of AmaWaterways’ remarkable twin-balcony river ships, the newly reimagined AmaVerde, is full of light, love and bold artwork showcasing vibrant, modern designs. The dashing ship is considered the captivating companion of the AmaBella as both ships were totally redesigned in 2021 and sail their imagined love story on the romantic Danube River. Spacious, sophisticated staterooms set the mind at ease for a restful slumber, while warmth attracts visitors to the comfortable fireside library and AmaVerde’s massage and hair salon. The Main Restaurant is the perfect home to exquisite meals and local wine pairings worthy of La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs—the internationally renowned gastronomic society. The Chef’s Table specialty restaurant, with its glass-enclosed kitchen and unique rolled lighting fixture, gives way to a vibrant multi-course parade of dishes with distinct regional flavors paired with hand selected wines. Enjoy a light lunch in our new “Café Bistro,” a perfect al fresco spot to play cards and mingle with your fellow guests. Additional amenities on AmaVerde include unlimited high-quality complimentary Wi-Fi, movies, music and English-language TV stations in the staterooms, a specialty coffee station, gift shop, sun-deck walking track, heated swimming pool, putting green, fitness room and fleet of bikes.
