History

Lüftner Cruises was founded in 1994 by Wolfgang Lüftner and Martina Lüftner and remains a family business. At first the company only used chartered ships. In 1997, it began to establish its own fleet with the construction of MS Amadeus. It is often credited with helping to launch the river cruise industry.
