I am delighted to share this special invitation for you to join us on our Solo in Style Luxury Christmas Market Cruise, specially curated by Alchemy Designer Travel. If you’ve never been on a Riverside cruise, get ready for an incredible adventure!
The special package for Solo In Style members, of 15 cabins, with no solo supplement, provides you with the opportunity to explore the River Danube alongside fourteen other extraordinary women. You’ll be able to bask in the epitome of luxury, with all-inclusive excursions and amenities ensuring a truly unforgettable experience.
The Ship: Riverside Mozart
A river cruise aboard the Riverside Mozart means luxury. 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 Tea or a glass of Taittinger Champagne on the Vista Deck as you sail serenely through the landscape of the Wachau Valley. It’s one big treat for the senses.
The Mozart sets the standard for true luxury on the river. Enjoy suites instead of staterooms, the smallest alone measuring 215 square feet (20 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. https://riverside-cruises.com/en/mozart
