Experience

Critically Acclaimed Dining

As members of the prestigious La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs culinary society and Tables et Auberges de France, ensuring we provide high-quality food and wine on board is of utmost importance to us. We pride ourselves on serving exquisite regionally inspired cuisine prepared with only the freshest local ingredients.

Farm-to-Table Gastronomy

For years we have sourced all our fresh produce, herbs and freshwater fish from local farmers, many of whose families have been toiling along the banks of the Danube for generations. Our shared commitment to sustainability, family and personal connection makes us proud to support these farms – guaranteeing fresh and flavorful ingredients while reducing the distance each item travels to our ships. Incorporating the highest quality seasonal ingredients, such as Marchfeld asparagus in the spring and Wachau Valley apricots in summer, our expert chefs bring the taste of the country from the fields, orchards, farms and docks to your plate at every meal.

The Chef's Table

Join a few of your fellow travelers at The Chef’s Table, an intimate venue where the kitchen, usually hidden, becomes part of the entertainment. Watch as the chef meticulously chops, sears and plates a mouthwatering tasting menu in front of your eyes – a highlight of your culinary journey that is served with a selection of fine wines, courtesy of AmaWaterways.

Sip and Savor with Our Compliments

You will enjoy complimentary, unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks during lunch and dinner, as well as sparkling wine and fresh-squeezed juices during breakfast. Our reds and whites are of the highest quality and come from European wineries and vineyards: Rieslings from the Wachau Valley and Sauternes in Bordeaux are just two examples of how you can indulge. There is also a daily complimentary Sip & Sail cocktail hour featuring a drink of the day and a menu of cocktails, wine, beer and spirits, with mocktails also available on select ships.

Thoughtful Consideration of Dietary Needs

Whether a special diet or allergies limits the ingredients in which you indulge, our attentive culinary team is ready and waiting to accommodate you. Enticing vegetarian and vegan dishes, gluten-free main courses and desserts, and even low-sodium and dairy-free meals are available. Simply inform your travel advisor or AmaWaterways before you embark and meet with our maître d’ once on board – then prepare to dine with peace of mind.
