Amadeus Mira

The 2027-built Amadeus Mira cruise ship (also branded as Mira by AMADEUS) is a 160-passenger riverboat (the fleet's 22nd and newest) owned by the Austrian company Luftner Cruises and operated by its travel brand Amadeus River Cruises.

Aurea's sisterships include Amadeus Cara (2021), Amadeus Riva (2023), Amadeus Nova (2024), Amadeus Amara (2025), and Amadeus Aurea (2026).

Amadeus Mira cruises on the Danube, Main, Rhine, and Moselle rivers (including Danube Delta voyages to the Black Sea), as well as on the Belgian and Dutch inland waterways.

The vessel (ENI number tba) will be Germany-flagged (MMSI tba) and registered in Cologne.

Amadeus Mira's propulsion is hybrid (diesel-electric). The battery system is from EST-Floattech's series Octopus High Energy, based on high-density, lithium-ion batteries. It adds 520 kWh of electricity to the propulsion and results in fuel savings and reduced emissions.

The boat's namesake is the 2026-built ship Viking Mira.
