Riverside Luxury Cruises
The crown jewel of European river cruising, reimagining the Danube with unprecented scale, cruising through three regal Habsburg capitals. As the continent's widest river ship, the Riverside Mozart offers exceptionally spacious suites, blending the intimacy of a river cruise with the luxury of a grand hotel - reflecting the regal landscape she sails through. Navigate the historical sights and rich cultures of Hungary, Slovakia, and Austria with monumental panoramas of the country's Old Towns lining the banks of the Danube.
Days 1 - 2
Begin your journey with a grand arrival in Budapest, checking into the historic Matild Palace for two nights. This Belle Époque gem offers regal luxury, Michelin-star dining at Spago by Wolfgang Puck, and sunset views from The Duchess rooftop.
Day 3
After immersing yourself in the city's charm for two nights, transition seamlessly on day three to the Riverside Mozart to begin your ultra-luxury Danube voyage.
Day 4
On Day 4, bid farewell to the Hungarian capital as the Riverside Mozart sets sail. Enjoy a morning of scenic cruising along the spectacular Danube Bend, where the river curves through verdant, steep-sided hills. Relax on the Vista Deck, cocktail in hand, as you pass the towering Esztergom Basilica before crossing into Slovakia, arriving in charming Bratislava by afternoon.
Day 5
The next afternoon the Riverside Mozart arrives in Bratislava, Slovakia’s capital. Nestled at the foot of the Little Carpathian Mountains, this city blends medieval charm with quirky modern art. Explore the cobbled streets of the Old Town, visit the hilltop castle for panoramic river views, or enjoy a Riverside Choice beer tasting at a local microbrewery.
Day 6
Explore Tulln, the "City of Flowers," where Roman fortress roots meet elegant Medieval trade history and lush modern gardens. After discovering its resilient architecture, enjoy a breathtaking afternoon scenic sail through the UNESCO-listed Wachau Valley. Marvel at terraced vineyards, ancient castles, and storybook villages lining the Danube’s banks. This day perfectly captures Austria’s blend of natural beauty and imperial heritage during a relaxing, world-class river transit.
Days 7 - 8
The cruise arrives in Vienna, a city defined by its imperial soul and the refined Lebenskunst (art of living). Once the seat of the Holy Roman Empire, this capital remains a wonderland of Baroque palaces, world-class museums, and atmospheric coffee houses. After disembarking, transfer to the Anantara Palais Hansen for your final two nights. Immerse yourself in the romantic atmosphere where Mozart once composed and horse-drawn carriages still clip-clop past grand cathedrals.
Day 9
Your journey comes to an end today as you depart from Vienna for your journey home.
