Another industry first for Crystal Cruises
If you can't take the cruise watch it on the web site. Continually innovative Crystal Cruises’ has added another industry first to its nautical belt with the installation of live view cameras aboard its elegant riverboat/yacht the Mozart. The cameras provide breathtaking views from three vantage points aboard the boat that display a glimpse of the enchanting medieval villages, expansive landscapes and stunning cities on along the Danube River. All you need to do is choose the “Live Views” option on Crystal’s newly redesigned homepage, and enjoy real time views of the ship’s position.
“The live views are truly a benefit for our guests and future guests at home, as they can be instantly transported to the picturesque destinations the world’s only luxury river cruise line visits,” says Crystal CEO and president, Edie Rodriguez. “It is also an extremely useful planning tool for those unfamiliar with some of the ports. They can follow along on a voyage virtually and discern which itineraries are right for them.”
While the live views feed have long been featured on the Crystal website for the company’s ocean ships, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity, as well as Crystal Yacht Cruises’ Crystal Esprit, their positioning on Crystal Mozart marks the first ever occasion such digital perks have been featured on a river cruise ship, further solidifying Crystal Mozart’s status as the most technologically advanced vessel on Europe’s rivers.
Each suite aboard the completely reimagined river yacht offers Apple® iPad devices that serve as Digital Directories for virtually all of guests’ on-board needs, from dry cleaning and butler service to room service and dining reservations, as well as concierge and Crystal Adventures inquiries and more.
The impossibly luxurious Mozart offers suites fitted with 40-inch flat-screen HD televisions along with backlit bathroom mirrors integrated televisions. Bathrooms also feature highly advanced TOTO Washlet personal cleaning systems, which also offer heated seats, automatic open/close, aerated water and warm air dryer. Throughout the ship, digital signage puts available services and port information at guests’ fingertips, including weather forecasts for the day, available spa appointments and dining reservations and highlights of Crystal crew members.
Crystal Mozart offers two distinct itineraries of 10 and 11 nights along the Danube, plus a special 10 to 13 night Christmas and New Year’s Eve voyage. The all-inclusive fares begin as $3,090 for a suite with large picture window view. Interested? Call 888-799-2437 or click here.

While I haven't yet sailed on Crystal riverboats/yachts, I have cruised on the Serenity and Symphony and can vouch for the seamless service, world class food, exceptional butler service
on the Penthouse deck and the absolute top notch enrichment program, Computer University at Sea and other entertainment. Almost forgot both ships have a nifty spa and fitness center (with free classes), jogging track, big pools, Jacuzzis on deck, paddle tennis courts, golf cages and some of the most comfy deck furniture afloat.
