The Amadea is currently in drydock at the Lloyd Werft Shipyard in Germany for extensive renovations, according to an update shared by Phoenix Reisen.

In an update shared on its website, the German operator said it is investing approximately 20 million euro in refreshing and modernizing the 1991-built ship.

The project is highlighted by technical enhancements, with initiatives aimed at improving operational reliability and energy efficiency.

Phoenix Reisen is renewing freshwater, wastewater, and piping systems for improved environmental performance while also working on an extensive overhaul of the vessel’s main engines.

The air conditioning systems in restaurants and bars will also be updated with new technology, allowing for more sustainable energy management.

Other initiatives include the introduction of the AdaptiVIT system, which the company described as technology that reduces fuel consumption and emissions.

Energy-efficient LED lighting will be introduced in public spaces, while all balconies will be renovated with new partitions.

The Amadea will undergo additional guest-facing changes, including the extension of the Copernicus Bar, an extensive renovation of its show lounge and a redesign of the Vista Lounge.

Phoenix Reisen said that the space will introduce an integrated library, games area and a new panoramic bar.

Having paused its regular operations in Northern Europe, the Amadea entered drydock on November 6, 2026.

According to Phoenix Reisen’s published schedule, the ship is set to welcome guests back on Nov. 20 for an eight-night cruise to Northern Europe.

Sailing roundtrip from Hamburg to the Norwegian Fjords, the itinerary will be followed by a 168-night voyage to the Americas, the Caribbean and the Pacific.

In related news, Phoenix Reisen recently revealed plans to add the Oceania Insignia to its fleet in late 2027.

Set to be renamed Alvara, the 684-passenger vessel will undergo a refurbishment in Northern Europe before embarking on its maiden season for the company.
