About Budapest
Budapest is the capital city of Hungary and is located over the River Danube. It is one of the largest cities in the European Union and much of its historical sites have been awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Originally formed in 1873 by the joining of Buda, Pest and Old Buda, the city suffered heavy destruction during World War II and was rebuilt into the country's political, cultural and commercial hub it is now. Bridges and railways connect the city over the Danube, including the six small islands situated on the river themselves. Some of Budapest’s UNESCO World Heritage sites include Chain Bridge, Budapest Parliament, the striking Matthias church and the iconic Royal Palace visible from every location within Budapest City. The Castle Hills district architecture represents over a thousand years of the city's history with examples of Roman, Turkish, Gothic, Renaissance and Art Nouveau styles. Budapest also has a rich Jewish heritage and is home to the largest synagogue in Europe. The city has an abundance of restaurants offering international cuisines, as well as traditional Hungarian dishes ,including goulash soup, a very popular lunchtime dish. Hungarians enjoy their coffee so a traditional cafe is never hard to find.

Riverside Mozart
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.

Luxury means having a choice. On the Riverside Mozart, the choice is yours. Four different restaurants offer genuine culinary perfection and variety. As the ship moves from port to port, the specialties on board also change, inspired by the world’s different regions. Modern interpretations of dishes from the crown lands of the former Habsburg Empire of Austria-Hungary, as well as fine Italian pasta dishes or delicious tapas
Marketpace
Blue Deli
Stroll to the stern of the ship for lunch at the Blue Bar Grill, overlooking the water. Enjoy a more casual, yet equally delicious lunch of burgers, wraps, sandwiches, pasta and crunchy salads.
Vista Grill
The name Vista says it all. Here enjoy an expansive menu with beautiful views. Sit in the shade of a canvas, gazing out as you pass by the ever-changing landscape. Feast on freshly grilled fish specialties or steaks. The specialty barbecue on the upper deck offers you another crowning moment on your Riverside Mozart cruise.
Whether relaxing with your loved one at sunset or under the stars, the pop-up bar on the Vista Deck is a brilliant place to enjoy life’s pleasures. Will you choose a French 75 or a Blood Orange Cosmo? The Vista Bar is the perfect place to toast “Life is beautiful!”
Waterside
Waterside, where we serve a la carte in the evenings – and for those dishes, too, the chefs draw inspiration from the seasons on the Danube. Everything is accompanied by elegant wines, also from the region, of course. To say it with the laconic understatement of the Austrians:
Eating is more than getting full!
