Germany’s Iconic “Dream Ship” MS Amadea arrives in Sri Lanka

The flagship luxury passenger ship MS Amadea, operated by a German travel company, arrived at Galle Port today, bringing nearly 900 visitors to Sri Lanka as part of its ongoing world tour.

The vessel, registered under the flag of the Bahamas, carried 580 passengers and 315 crew members, with the majority of tourists being German nationals.

The ship is currently on a 146‑day global voyage that began in Germany in December 2025.

Measuring 193 meters in length and featuring eight decks, the Amadea offers all “outside cabins” with private balconies, underscoring its reputation as a premier luxury liner.

Passengers were scheduled to visit Galle Fort, Hikkaduwa, Rumassala, Koggala, and Ahangama. However, rough seas prevented the safe use of small boats, prompting the ship to depart for Colombo Port instead.

The Amadea is also widely recognized in Germany as the official filming vessel for the popular television series Das Traumschiff (“The Dream Ship”), adding cultural significance to its visit.
