ITTN’s Industry expert Deirdre Sweeny was recently hosted onboard Riverside Cruises ship ‘The Mozart’. The ship sailed from Vienna to Maelk and back. This was an introductory cruise, the ship will normally be sailing the Danube route.
The 5-star luxury ship holds 168 guests with a 2 to 1 guest to crew ratio. There’s a white glove dinner service, with a great selection of food and local wines. The lead in price for the cruises will be from €2,000 for a 7 night cruise with offers coming next week. They’re also going to have Christmas Market Cruises with 3-5 night cruises. There’s also no solo supplements from now until Christmas.
On the Riverside Mozart, time seems to pass at a different pace, just like the ship itself, which sets the bar for genuine river luxury. Unlike other Danube river cruise ships, it provides suites instead of staterooms, with the smallest suite measuring a generous 215 square feet (20 sqm), and the Owner Suites boasting an impressive 883 square feet (82 sqm). The ship’s suite to crew ratio is an unmatched 1:1, offering unparalleled space and comfort. The onboard service is exceptional, upholding the high standards one would expect from luxury hotels worldwide. Although personal style preferences can vary, the Riverside Mozart’s uncompromisingly stunning aesthetics are sure to impress.
Each suite varies in style, size, and unique features. Every guest can expect to indulge in luxurious amenities, such as fine materials like leather and velvet, elegant marble bathrooms, and king-size beds – all accompanied by a comfortable sofa or cozy armchair to unwind. The furniture and artwork throughout the suites feature soft colors inspired by nature and the vibrant colors of the Danube. Additionally, a dedicated butler in each suite provides personalized service to make every cruise a truly bespoke experience.
At the Riverside Mozart, luxury is synonymous with having a plethora of choices. With four distinct restaurants, guests can indulge in an array of exquisite culinary delights. As the ship travels from port to port, the onboard specialties change, taking inspiration from various regions across the globe. Indulge in modern interpretations of dishes from the former Habsburg Empire of Austria-Hungary, delectable Italian pasta dishes, or tantalizing tapas – the options are endless.
