Elisabeth Gürtler managing director of Hotel Sacher in Vienna, Austria is to christen Crystal River Cruises’ first vessel Crystal Mozart.

Gürtler, who is also acting director of Vienna’s Spanish Riding School, will name the vessel on 11 July in Vienna. She joins the group of previous Crystal godmothers that include Lady Gaenor Meakes (Crystal Esprit) and actresses Mary Tyler Moore (Crystal Harmony), Dame Angela Lansbury (Crystal Symphony), Dame Julie Andrews (Crystal Serenity).

“It is fitting that such a pillar of the Viennese community as Gürtler would join the Crystal family as we expand into the stunning waterways of Austria and the surrounding areas,” said Edie Rodriguez, Crystal’s CEO and president. “As we prepare to embark with Crystal Mozart on her journeys along the Danube River, we are honoured to do so with the blessing of one of the region’s most respected citizens, who also shares Crystal’s commitment to a superior standard of excellence in global travel.”

Crystal Mozart will embark on her maiden roundtrip from Vienna on 13 July. The voyage includes calls in Dürnstein, Melk and Linz, Austria; an overnight in Passau, Germany; Bratislava, Slovakia; an overnight in Budapest, Hungary; and two nights in Vienna.
