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

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.
More about Riverside Mozart →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 guestNot a top-suite privilege — every suite in every category has butler service, covering unpacking, laundry, in-suite dining and reservations.
- Unlimited shore excursionsGuided 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 venuesEvery restaurant on board is included, with open dining times rather than fixed seatings, and dishes cooked à la minute.
- Premium wines and spiritsIncluded throughout the ship — not a drinks package you buy on top of the fare.
- Starlink Wi-FiComplimentary satellite broadband fleet-wide. Coverage can dip inside locks and steep river valleys.
- All gratuities, prepaidTipping is built into the fare. Nothing is added to your account at the end of the cruise.
- Ground transfersComplimentary airport transfers on embarkation and disembarkation days.
- 100% suitesEvery 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.
