Deck layout and review

Review of AmaRudi deck 4 (Sundeck-Pools)
Sun Deck houses the ship's Navigation Bridge (called Wheelhouse on riverboats and small ships), which is passenger-accessible and retractable/hydraulic.

AmaRudi's Sun Deck is unusually spacious for a European river cruise ship and is divided into several activity zones instead of being one large open deck. The sundeck's amenities include a heated swimming pool (complimentary), a large Jacuzzi/Whirlpool/hot tub (complimentary), a Walking/Jogging Track, a deck games area (full-size Pickleball Court, Giant Chess Board), numerous loungers and shaded seating (covered with retractable awnings). Tables and deckchairs are designed for outdoor relaxation and reading.
The Pop-Up Sky Bar is an open-air pool bar serving drinks and refreshments.
Located next to the Sky Bar, the Deck Club Barbecue is an outdoor dining venue offering an alternative to the ship's indoor restaurants. Unlike the indoor restaurants, Deck Club Barbecue operates only weather and itinerary permitting, typically for selected lunches or special BBQ events rather than daily service. The menu focuses on freshly grilled items (meats, seafood, vegetables, burgers) accompanied by salads and side dishes. Meals and soft drinks are complimentary, and beer and regional wines are available during lunch service.
Forward are the pair of stairs for direct access to the Lark Lounge's Al Fresco (glass-walled bow terrace below).
Aft are the pair of stairs for direct access to the Marina (watersports platform on Deck 1). Also aft is a SkyLight (glass roof over the wellness facilities below) and the boat storage area.
The sundeck is particularly attractive during scenic cruising because it provides unobstructed 360-degree views of the passing scenery.
All sundeck structures (Wheelhouse, awnings, railings, Sky Bar) are collapsible and lowered when the ship passes under low bridges. During these periods, the Sun Deck closes temporarily, all furniture is secured, and passengers must leave the deck until clearance is restored.
Solar panels installed on the sundeck help reduce energy consumption and fuel usage
The Sun Deck is accessible only by stairs. An elevator/lift and a grand staircase connect all cabin decks.
