It was wonderful cruising the Danube, visiting Vienna, Budapest, Bratislave, Esztergom, Durnstein and Melk along the way.
The Mozart is very comfortable and the food outstanding. We enjoyed all the excursions - and all the places we visited are worthy of a much longer visit next time - especially the monastery at Melk.
Alan Titchmarsh gave two very interesting talks and the two visiting entertainers are worthy of the most highest praise - the opera singer and the duo from Bratislava. Very very memorable.
All staff without exception were courteous and very hardworking to make sure we were comfortable.
A lovely holiday. Can't wait to go on another river cruise - much more enjoyable than cruising at sea.
Quality of Food5
Absolutely excellent - very fine dining. The plates could have been warmed and a couple of times the coffee was cold but these two negatives in no way spoiled the overall dining experience - the waiters worked very hard and were always very courteous.
Entertainment5
Very good - the resident band were delightful and the two visiting acts were outstanding.
Shore Excursions5
All the excursions were very enjoyable - it was lovely just to be able to walk on and off the boat - the best excursion was the monastery at Melk.
Staff5
It's not fair to give more praise to one than to another - we had exceptional service throughout our stay on the Mozart - Vanessa and Ramona are outstanding - both very good at their jobs.

Onboard Activities4
We would not have needed any further activities the excursions took quite a lot of the time - the swimming pool was lovely
Cabins3
The cabin was very comfortable - we did book late and therefore had the last cabin on the lower deck - there was some engine and air conditioning noise but we got used to it and it certainly did not spoil our holiday - the dressing gowns, slippers, toiletries, shoe horn, shopping bags and matching umbrella were very nice little touches to make the stay more memorable. I don't think anyone older or infirm would manage the steep stairs to the lower deck.
