Amur class is a class of Russian river passenger ships.[4] It is named after the first ship in the class, which in her turn was named after the Amur River.

Two-deck cruise ships manufactured by Österreichische Schiffswerften AG at their shipyard in Korneuburg, Austria in 1960. These vessels cruised the Danube regularly, as far west as Vienna, Austria.[5][better source needed] "Amur" was laid up at Budapest, Hungary and signed "for sale" in late 2011.[citation needed]
