There’s still time to make this a Christmas to remember with a festive journey along the dazzling Danube! Embark in Vienna, the “City of Music,” then cruise in pampered luxury to Krems for a special holiday visit to the Kittenberger Adventure Gardens. With each stop, experience the Advent specialties and jolly atmosphere of the Christmas Markets, both big and small. You won’t want to miss a taste of the world-famous cake in Linz or time in the alpine jewel of Salzburg with its connections to Mozart, “The Sound of Music” movie, and some of Europe’s most breathtakingly beautiful Christmas Markets. Christmas Eve and Day are in Germany, where three rivers converge in Passau.
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.
KREMS, AUSTRIA
Krems has much to offer; museums, historical buildings like churches and abbeys, shopping and restaurants and most of all wine. Krems is surrounded by vineyards and they produce some of the best quality wines of Austria.
MAUTHAUSEN, AUSTRIA
Visit Mauthausen concentration camp - a place of memory and a site of political and historical education or explore the Austrian countryside with a visit to Steyr or St. Florian.
LINZ, AUSTRIA
Austria’s third largest city and famous for its baroque styled Main Square, beautiful old town center, great shopping, the Schloss Museum and the Mariendom which can hold 20.000 worshippers.
ENGELHARTSZELL, AUSTRIA
Not even 1000 souls call Engelhartszell home. Best known for the abby and the newly opened Schütz Art Museum.
PASSAU, GERMANY
The city sits at the confluence of three rivers and had therefore military importance. The fortress Veste Oberhaus now houses the museum and the Dom features a great organ.
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.
