Amadeus reveals two new excursion categories for 2025

Next year’s programme encompasses 19 itineraries in 13 countries, served by 10 vessels. Now available to book, the sailings range from five to 16 days and include the new excursion categories. 

AMADEUS Taste

AMADEUS Taste excursions include wineries, markets and more. In Austria, passengers can visit Winzer Krems winery or in Germany, participate in a tasting of typical Moselle wines or do wine tasting on a trip to Rüdesheim and Drosselgasse. 

In France, passengers have the chance to visit indoor food market Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse or Grignan for a truffle farm and tasting experience.

These excursions are complemented by a selection of local wines served on board the ship.
