Riverside Mozart
A getaway on the Riverside Mozart means packing your suitcase just once, experiencing scenic wonders, culture, and history, and just being happy. In one of our world-class restaurants. At the spa with a sauna and massage. On an excursion. Or simply sipping an Earl Grey or a Taittinger Rosé on the Vista Deck as the beautiful Wachau Valley landscape passes by. It's all about letting go.
It's not just the clocks that tick differently on the Riverside Mozart. The ship itself sets new standards, with Suites instead of cabins, the smallest of which measures just 215 square feet (20 square meters). No other luxury river cruise ship on the Danube offers so much space and such a large crew. Service on board is excellent. And, yes, different tastes can break up marriages, but this ship is uncompromisingly beautiful.

FIRST-CLASS CUISINE ON THE MOZART
Luxury means having a choice. On the Riverside Mozart, the choice is yours. Four different restaurants offer genuine culinary perfection and variety. With the ship’s gentle passage, the onboard specialties change, reflecting the flavors of each region – always accompanied by a selection of fine wines.
Waterside
The main restaurant on board, the Waterside is elegantly and tastefully designed in natural tones. In the morning and at lunchtime, we serve an expansive buffet, while in the evening, the space transforms into a softly lit fine dining experience. Here, surrounded by views of the water, guests sit in the magical blue hour and do one thing above all: savor the moment.
Blue Bar & Grill
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 and beautiful views. Sit in the shade of a canvas, gazing out as you pass by the ever-changing landscape. Feast on freshly grilled fish or steaks. And the special barbecue events deliver yet another crowning moment on your Riverside Mozart cruise.
Whether relaxing 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 the good life.
Vintage Room
So exclusive and distinctive, the Riverside Mozart’s Vintage Room deserves a chapter of its own: the Vintage Room aboard the Riverside Mozart. On select evenings, our chefs present an exquisite 6- to 7-course menu, perfectly paired with exceptional wines carefully selected by our Head Sommelier. Up to 12 guests gather at the long table to enjoy the finest cuisine in an elegant and intimate setting.
For a lighter option, the Champagne Vintage Room offers a refined 4-course lunch menu – perfect for indulging during the day. Curated flavors, premium wines, and an exclusive atmosphere make the Vintage Room a truly special place for unforgettable culinary moments. Additional charges apply.
Atelier
In our Atelier, flavors, regional ingredients, and culinary artistry come together in creations you’ll be dreaming about long after you return home. In the morning, the air is filled with the aroma of fine coffee and irresistible pastries – the perfect breakfast for late risers. At lunchtime, our culinary experts serve up light, seasonal dishes. And in the evening, the Atelier becomes a showcase of food and flavor craftsmanship, understated elegance, and the pure quality of the finest regional ingredients. Simply exquisite.
Additional charges may apply depending on your selected culinary package.
Vista Bar
Cove Piano Bar
The Cove Bar invites you into a unique world of flavors, where herbs, spices, and floral notes come together in refined cocktails. Our bartenders – true masters of their craft – transform drinks into extraordinary moments of indulgence. Let yourself be surprised by the harmonious blend of natural ingredients and creative mixology – layered, balanced, and full of depth. From subtle floral tones to bold exotic spices, each cocktail is a celebration for the senses.
