About Budapest
Budapest is the capital city of Hungary and is located over the River Danube. It is one of the largest cities in the European Union and much of its historical sites have been awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Originally formed in 1873 by the joining of Buda, Pest and Old Buda, the city suffered heavy destruction during World War II and was rebuilt into the country's political, cultural and commercial hub it is now. Bridges and railways connect the city over the Danube, including the six small islands situated on the river themselves. Some of Budapest’s UNESCO World Heritage sites include Chain Bridge, Budapest Parliament, the striking Matthias church and the iconic Royal Palace visible from every location within Budapest City. The Castle Hills district architecture represents over a thousand years of the city's history with examples of Roman, Turkish, Gothic, Renaissance and Art Nouveau styles. Budapest also has a rich Jewish heritage and is home to the largest synagogue in Europe. The city has an abundance of restaurants offering international cuisines, as well as traditional Hungarian dishes ,including goulash soup, a very popular lunchtime dish. Hungarians enjoy their coffee so a traditional cafe is never hard to find.

AmaRudi
Experience the ultimate in river cruise luxury aboard AmaRudi, the newest ship to join our fleet. Named for co-Founder Rudi Schreiner, this next-generation Danube ship combines spacious suites with full balconies, an expansive fitness studio, a heated sun-deck pool and whirlpool, four unique restaurants, and the same warm and personal atmosphere you expect from AmaWaterways.
Launching in 2027, AmaRudi will be an evolution of the award-winning AmaMagna, designed at twice the width of traditional river ships and purpose-built for the Danube. Carrying fewer guests in larger spaces, AmaRudi will include balcony suites ranging from 355 to 710 sq. ft., four unique dining venues serving farm-to-ship cuisine, and expansive amenities including the Zen Wellness Studio and a Sun Deck pickleball court. With elegant design and thoughtful service, AmaRudi will set a new standard for luxury on the Danube.
