Looking for a live view of the Danube? I know you want to see what it looks like when you cruise down the river. Well, now you can see for yourself what all the Crystal River Cruises cruise buzz is all about.

Crystal Mozart set a new bar of excellence on the Danube River, … and perfect spots for taking in spectacular views of the sights along the Danube should be shared online. Now showing live views of the Danube – a first for the river cruise industry.

Below is the press release about the first luxury river cruise ship to broadcast a live feed.

LOS ANGELES, AUGUST 25, 2016 – Less than two months after embarking on her maiden voyage from Vienna, Crystal River Cruises’ Crystal Mozart has launched live view cameras – a river industry first – from three vantage points aboard the luxurious vessel. Travelers seeking a glimpse of the enchanting medieval villages, expansive landscapes and stunning cities on Crystal Mozart’s route along the Danube River, can now select 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 CrystalYacht 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.
