The Pier // Cruise Ships // Amadea
When introduced in 1991 as Asuka, it was the first all-new large ship specially designed for the domestic market, and the largest cruise ship built in Japan for the local market. The ship was sold to Phoenix Reisen in 2005 and started cruising for German
speaking passengers in March 2006.
The ship which is a more upscale vessel compared to the other ships in the Phoenix Reisen fleet has pleasing exterior styling and a contemporary profile with a large, rounded but squat funnel. There is a generous amount of open deck and sunbathing space, plus a wide-walk around teakwood promenade deck outdoors, good for strolling. Amadea is best suited for German speaking couples, single travelers and families with children, who enjoy cruising in very comfortable surroundings aboard a contemporary ship.
