Crystal today unveiled an ultra-chic design for the first vessel in the Crystal River Cruises fleet. Crystal Mozart will set sail on July 13 on its maiden voyage round-trip from Vienna, with spacious and stylishly outfitted guest suites, public lounges and dining venues. Beyond the stylish d\u00e9cor \u2013 fashioned by London\u2019s AD Associates and Toronto\u2019s II by IV Design \u2013 what Crystal is calling the \u201cQueen of European Rivers\u201d will also boast innovative entertainment spaces, adventurous amenities and the luxurious appointments that discerning travelers have come to expect from Crystal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe experience awaiting guests when they step aboard Crystal Mozart will be true to the superior standard of luxury for which Crystal has always been celebrated, with some additional and original offerings that will be exclusive to Crystal River Cruises,\u201d says Crystal\u2019s President and CEO Edie Rodriguez. \u201cWe\u2019re bringing what was already a grand dame of European rivers up to the superlative Crystal level, with a modern but \u2018classically Crystal\u2019 twist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the more exceptional touches on the reimagined river ship will be pop-up bar area on the top \u201cVista\u201d deck, complete with a vanishing movie screen for al fresco<\/em> evening show times. Also on the Vista deck will be a living rooftop garden area with teak bench seating areas for guests to enjoy nature as they sail along the Danube River. Two on-board custom tender boats will be available for more intimate exploration of the waterway\u2019s picturesque locales, plus abundant outdoor space will ensure that travelers don\u2019t miss any of the magnificent views.<\/p>\n

Crystal Mozart will be cloaked in a timeless color palette intended to transcend seasons and complement the stunning surroundings found in the destinations throughout Austria, Hungary, Germany, Slovakia, Croatia and Serbia. Calming foundations of cream, gray and white are accented with rich jewel tones in deep blue, green and the occasional vibrant print. The furnishings offer equally contemporary and welcoming comfort for guests to enjoy during cocktail hours and musical performances.<\/p>\n

The soothing color palette and plush fabrics continue into the guest suites, all of which will feature king-size beds, Nespresso machines, 40-inch flat-screen televisions and sparkling marble bathrooms. The 158-guest capacity Crystal Mozart will have window suites of 219 square feet, deluxe suites with French Balcony of 219 square feet, penthouse suites of 330 square feet and a two-bedroom Crystal Suites of 883 square feet, the largest suite on any river vessel afloat. One-bedroom Penthouses and the two-bedroom Crystal Suite will feature French Balconies, walk-in closets and separate showers and oversized bathtubs. Crystal\u2019s acclaimed butler service will be available with every guest suite.<\/p>\n

The ship\u2019s four main decks \u2013 named, from bottom to top, Harmony (homage to Crystal\u2019s first ocean ship), Seahorse, Crystal and Vista \u2013 will offer numerous public areas for guests to enjoy onboard enrichment, fitness and wellness, and world-class dining. A newly installed elevator will be located mid-ship to take guests between the Harmony and Crystal decks. Crystal Mozart will offer guests an array of elegant and casual dining options throughout the day, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Waterside<\/strong> \u2013 The main dining area with an indoor\/outdoor setting, which will serve elaborate breakfast and lunch buffets, followed by upscale evening dinner service.<\/li>\n
  • Palm Court<\/strong> \u2013 Reminiscent of the Palm Court on Crystal Symphony, the venue will be a main hub for dancing and live local entertainment, as well as casual cocktails and tea.<\/li>\n
  • Blue<\/strong> \u2013 This aft indoor dining area will offer a casual atmosphere and a menu of global comfort food, similar to Tastes aboard Crystal Serenity.<\/li>\n
  • Bistro Mozart<\/strong> \u2013 Often the go-to spot aboard Crystal vessels for freshly baked pastries, fruit and snacks, plus coffee, espresso and tea, Crystal Mozart\u2019s bistro will serve light bites throughout the day.<\/li>\n
  • The Pantry<\/strong> \u2013 A self-service wine and beverage bar, ideal for a quick snack on the go.<\/li>\n
  • The Vintage Room<\/strong> \u2013 As aboard Crystal\u2019s ocean ships, the intimate dining room for approximately a dozen guests will host winemakers\u2019 dinners and special occasions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In addition to the expansive menu of dining options, lounges and bars aboard Crystal Mozart will foster camaraderie among guests as they share stories, cocktails and music. The Cove<\/strong> will be a main hub, housing a Yamaha AvantGrand Piano, manned by the vessel\u2019s entertainment host. On the upper Vista deck, the pop-up bar area will set the scene for celebrations under the stars.<\/p>\n

    Crystal Mozart will also feature fully-equipped fitness, spa and salon facilities at the Crystal Life Spa, marking the first time ever the spa on a Crystal ship will be operated and staffed by Crystal\u2019s own trained crew. An indoor pool will complement two treatment rooms, and male and female sauna and steam rooms.<\/p>\n

    Says Rodriguez: \u201cAt the heart of every Crystal Experience is the genuine service and expert attention to detail our guests enjoy. With our newest vessels, we\u2019re upping our own ante by making every possible effort to ensure these components of a Crystal vacation are unparalleled.\u201d<\/p>\n

    This includes offering a crew-to-guest ratio of approximately 1:1.75 \u2013 that is, 91 expertly trained crew members to attend to Crystal Mozart\u2019s 158 guests.<\/p>\n

    Crystal Mozart is named after the famous Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and is designed to fit into the wider locks of the Danube River from Passau in Germany to Budapest in Hungary, and holds the record of being the largest river cruise vessel on European rivers, measuring 75.1 feet wide (22.9 meters), which is double the width of an average industry river boat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
