Crystal River Cruises, the river cruise division of luxury line Crystal Cruises, today unveiled itineraries for its five new river yachts and has opened bookings for sailings from 2016 through 2018.

The first river cruise, on refurbished 160-passenger Crystal Mozart, will set sail on its maiden voyage from Vienna in July 2016 — a year earlier than planned, due to overwhelming demand. Four brand-new river ships will launch between June and August 2017.

Fares include all onboard meals and soft drinks, most alcoholic beverages, overseas transfers, use of bicycles in port, a choice of complimentary shore excursions in each port, free Wi-Fi, port taxes and gratuities. Onboard its ships, Crystal River Cruises will offer amenities not usually found on river vessels, including king-size beds, walk-in closets, an indoor swimming pool and a host of equipment — kayaks, electric bicycles, personal watercrafts — for passengers to use while in port, free of charge.
During the day, the line will offer culturally immersive shore excursions and complimentary active tours and will focus on longer and overnight stays in port, as well as sailing less-traveled routes to avoid congestion.

The itineraries are listed below:
