The Danube

Spring–Autumn, plus Christmas markets · 3 to 14 nights

The Danube

The classic first river cruise, and the one Riverside sails with its largest ship. Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava and the Wachau valley — with the widest ship on the river underneath you.

Highlights

What you'll see

  • Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava, Passau
  • The Wachau valley under scenic cruising
  • Riverside Mozart — double-width, with a pool
  • December Christmas-market sailings

Your ship

Riverside Mozart

154 guests · 81 suites · 1 crew member to every 2 guests

The widest ship on the Danube — roughly double the beam of a conventional river vessel, which is why she can carry a pool, a full spa and the largest suites on the river without ever feeling narrow.

All-inclusive value

Most guests finish the week with a bill of nothing.

Riverside folds in the things other river lines sell separately — every excursion, not one per port. Here is exactly what is in, and the short list of what is not.

Included in your fare

  • A butler for every guest
    Not a top-suite privilege — every suite in every category has butler service, covering unpacking, laundry, in-suite dining and reservations.
  • Unlimited shore excursions
    Guided excursions in every port are included, usually with a choice of active and leisurely options each day. Entry fees and transport are covered.
  • All dining, across five venues
    Every restaurant on board is included, with open dining times rather than fixed seatings, and dishes cooked à la minute.
  • Premium wines and spirits
    Included throughout the ship — not a drinks package you buy on top of the fare.
  • Starlink Wi-Fi
    Complimentary satellite broadband fleet-wide. Coverage can dip inside locks and steep river valleys.
  • All gratuities, prepaid
    Tipping is built into the fare. Nothing is added to your account at the end of the cruise.
  • Ground transfers
    Complimentary airport transfers on embarkation and disembarkation days.
  • 100% suites
    Every accommodation is a suite with a king bed, walk-in closet and marble bathroom. There is no standard-cabin tier to be upsold out of.

Charged separately

  • Airfare
    Flights to and from Europe are not included unless part of a promotion.
  • Spa treatments
    FEHI Spa massages and salon services are charged separately.
  • Your own wine
    Bringing your own bottle carries a €25 corkage fee on non-premium packages.
  • Pre- and post-cruise land stays
    Hotel extensions in the gateway cities are arranged and priced separately.
  • Travel insurance
    Not included — and worth serious thought for a prepaid European trip.
