If you`re scouring the web for your next big travel adventure, look no farther! This luxury cruise begins in Vienna with its Baroque palaces and famous Ringstrasse, and end in Budapest, whose cityscape looks like it jumped right off a postcard! Other memorable stops feature Durnstein with its legendary castle ruin; Melk, home to the Baroque Benedictine abbey; Linz; Mauthausen at the crossroads of two trade routes during Roman times; Germany`s Passau; and Estergom, capital of Hungary during the Middle Ages. The scenic Schlogen Loop and Wachau Valley add awe-inspiring natural beauty to this wondrous journey.
VIENNA, AUSTRIA
This is the city of classical music. It’s Mozart and Strauss. It’s street art on a sandy beach and fun in the countryside. It’s bohemia and bourgeoisie and the finest baroque. And of course Art Nouveau. It’s bad-tempered waiters in great coffee houses. It’s Sigmund Freud and Gustav Klimt and Adolf Loos and Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Sisi and many others. It is the Spanish Riding School, an event for horse lovers. And of course it is the city of Schmah (jokes anyone?) and scandals, on which the Viennese feast like cows on fresh grass on the alpine pasture. Last but not least: Vienna is the city on the Danube. Although it was not always so. The Viennese Danube river front is an artificial structure which was only created in the 19th century. Before that, the Danube flowed past Vienna in many arms through floodplains and uninhabited areas. Today, the Riverside can also dock right in front of the city. And then it starts. Marvel, wonder and rejoice. Vienna is a dream.
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY
Budapest has much to offer like the Castle Garden Bazaar, the Fisherman’s Bastion or Mathias Church. There are plenty of highlights to explore or guests can choose to relax in one of the many hot springs spas the city is famous for.
A river cruise aboard the Riverside Mozart means luxury, local culture and loving life. No sense is left untouched. Dine in one of the first-class restaurants. Decompress in the spa with sauna and massage. Discover another world on an excursion. Or simply delight in an Earl Grey or a Taittinger on the Vista Deck as you sail serenely through the landscape of the Wachau Valley. It’s one big treat for the senses.
Time ticks differently on the Riverside Mozart, as does the ship itself. It sets the standard for true luxury on the river. Enjoy suites instead of staterooms, the smallest alone measuring 215 square feet (20 sqm), while the Owner Suites deliver an expansive 883 square feet (82 sqm). No other river cruise ship on the Danube offers so much space combined, with a suite to crew ratio of 1:1. The service on board is exceptional, catering to standards enjoyed in luxury hotels the world over. When it comes to styling, different tastes can certainly divide opinion – but this ship is without a doubt uncompromisingly beautiful.

A dream that spans 860 square feet / 80 square meters – the Mozart Suite combines with the Riverside Suite to form the Owner’s Suite. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a stylish living room. Sit by the fireplace and read a book. Dine privately with your family. Work a bit at the desk before you go out and play. This is a space that lets you go from casual to haute couture with little effort. Watch television as we wash, iron and make your clothes worthy of a night with a queen.
The great composer created a feeling of space with sound. Guests can enjoy spaciousness in the suite carrying his name. It offers over 645 square feet / 60 square meters – and the same services as the Owner’s Suite. Masterful details include a French balcony, marble-framed fireplace and mini-bar. Black-and-white photographs and small sculptures lend an artful feeling to every room. The king-size bed looks upon the mighty Danube. Waking up to this view is simply wonderful.
Seahorses enjoy the peace and quiet and like to retreat. And guests can do just that in our Penthouse Suites on the Seahorse Deck. They are exceptionally comfortable at 323 square feet / 30 square meters and allow for three people to travel together. Like the Mozart and Owner’s Suites, they have larger bathrooms.
“Nomen est Omen”: the river is always in sight. Our Riverside Suites (219 square feet / 20 square meters) offer a French balcony and a flat-screen HD TV to relax to in addition to the sound of the river. Sleep together or separately, as the bed can be configured as a king or two twins. The choice is yours. Maybe depending on the night.
“Nomen est Omen”: the river is always in sight. Our Symphony Suites (204 square feet / 19 square meters) offer a French balcony and a flat-screen HD TV to relax to in addition to the sound of the river. Sleep together or separately, as the bed can be configured as a king or two twins. The choice is yours. Maybe depending on the night.
In the end, it’s all about one thing: feeling comfortable in your own space. These suites on the lower deck measure 219 square feet / 20 square meters, have fixed windows and are downright cozy. Watch your favorite movie, read or write in your journal – whatever helps you to relax and recharge – you will find complete harmony on your river cruise vacation.
