    Onboard Dining Reservations
    AmaRudi features four unique dining venues, and while most meals are included, seating policies vary:

    • The Chef’s Table: This highly intimate 24-guest specialty tasting menu requires reservations, which can be made on board at the Reception Desk once you have embarked.
    • Jimmy’s Restaurant & Main Restaurant: Reservations are typically not required for these family-style and main dining venues.
    • Al Fresco Restaurant: Seating is generally open for this refreshing outdoor space.

    PLUS the intimate Rudi’s Wine Bar, a welcoming gathering place inspired by Schreiner’s passion for wine and European culture. Complementing these venues is AmaWaterways’ enhanced dining experience, including complimentary beer, soft drinks and a curated selection of more than 30 wines available during lunch and dinner, as well as new Italian lunch menus served in The Chef’s Table. A built-in Deck Club barbecue on the Sun Deck will further expand the ship’s dining options.

    Wellness & Recreation
    Guests will have access to an expansive wellness area featuring massage treatment rooms, hair and nail services, a state-of-the-art fitness center and dedicated spaces for relaxation. Guided by AmaWaterways’ dedicated Wellness Hosts, guests can enjoy a variety of fitness classes and wellness programming both onboard and ashore. The Sun Deck will also feature a full-sized pickleball court, providing even more opportunities to stay active while enjoying the scenery along the Danube.

    Entertainment
    AmaRudi will introduce an entirely new entertainment concept created exclusively for the ship. Designed as a vibrant social hub, the versatile venue will feature a cinema, karaoke, billiards and a jukebox, while thoughtful soundproofing ensures guest comfort throughout the vessel.

    As with all new AmaWaterways vessels, sustainability will play an important role in AmaRudi’s design and operation. The ship will feature advanced Stage V engines, solar panels, shore power connectivity, spud poles and lightweight construction materials designed to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact while navigating Europe’s waterways.
