Is Riverside Mozart the MOST Luxurious River Cruise Ship in Europe?
What happens when low river levels disrupt a luxury river cruise before you even reach the ship? ✅ SPONSOR ~ Get a FREE quote from Fairy Godmother Travel here: https://www.fairygodmothertravel.com/request-a-quote This Riverside Mozart cruise didn't exactly get off to a traditional start. Because of low water levels on the Danube, the journey began with a (very nice) hotel stay in Budapest and a motorcoach transfer before finally boarding farther along the river in Vienna. But here's the surprising part: Riverside Luxury Cruises stepped up and did an impressive job of making the experience work, including a one-night stay at the W hotel in Budapest, despite circumstances beyond its control. In this complete Riverside Mozart review, we'll take you onboard one of Europe's most distinctive luxury river cruise ships and show you everything from its spacious suites and multiple restaurants to its lounges, outdoor spaces, service, amenities and overall onboard experience. We'll also share what it was really like to have a river cruise disrupted by low water — and whether Riverside's handling of the situation changed the overall impression of the cruise. Is Riverside Mozart worth considering for a luxury river cruise on the Danube?
