About Riverside Mozart

Riverside Mozart belongs to Riverside Luxury Cruises's Riverside Suite series and entered service in 2009. Built to navigate the lock systems and bridge clearances of European waterways, she measures roughly 124 metres in length and accommodates up to 154 guests in 77 staterooms across 4 passenger decks.

Founded in 2023 by Mario Ferreira after acquiring three former Crystal River vessels, Riverside Luxury Cruises operates the Riverside Mozart, Ravel, Debussy and Bach as all-suite, all-butler ships on the Rhine, Danube, Main, Moselle, Seine and Bordeaux waterways. Riverside Mozart reflects that brand DNA — from the design of her public spaces to the inclusions in her base fare.

The ship's typical home waters are the Danube, where she runs 4 distinct itineraries during the operating season. Repositioning sailings, themed wine cruises and Christmas-market voyages may be added in autumn and early winter.

Background reading: our long-form explainer of the Riverside Luxury Cruises fleet philosophy covers the design choices that distinguish Riverside Suite ships from the rest of the European fleet.
