MS Dutch Largo

The 1997-built (originally as MS Amadeus) cruise ship MS Dutch Largo is a 140-passenger riverboat owned by the Austrian company Lüftner Cruises and operated through its travel brand Amadeus River Cruises. Since 2023, the vessel has been chartered by the Dutch Cruise Line (Netherlands/fleet).

Her sisterships include Amadeus Rhapsody (1998), Amadeus Classic (2001), Amadeus Symphony (2003), and Amadeus Royal (2005).

The vessel (ENI number 8848003) is currently Holland-flagged (MMSI 244000956) and registered in Amsterdam.

Following an extensive winter refurbishment in 2022–2023, the ship was renamed from Amadeus to Dutch Largo, and her flag state was changed from Germany (MMSI 211555260, registry in Cologne) to the Netherlands (MMSI 244000956).

Decks and Cabins

MS Amadeus/Dutch Largo has 73 staterooms distributed across four decks—the Sun Deck and three passenger decks named after famous Austrian composers: Haydn, Mozart, and Strauss.

Most cabins feature French balconies with drop-down panoramic windows.

All accommodations include twin beds convertible into queen beds, seating areas, wardrobes, TVs, and phones. Bathrooms feature showers. The suites offer additional amenities such as minibars and larger TVs.

The vessel has four decks, three of which contain passenger cabins.
