S.S. Maria Theresa
Relax and Rejuvenate on the S.S. Maria Theresa Cruise
The Maria Theresa is a luxurious floating palace offering a unique combination of historic artwork and antiques with modern amenities. Inspired by the Archduchess of Austria, Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, Maria Theresa, this "six-star" river cruise ship is a masterpiece of design featuring 10-foot-high paintings, Venetian Murano glass chandeliers, hand-painted coronets with 22-carat gold leaf, silk-clad walls, lavish window treatments, custom furniture and five large murals depicting 18th-century Austrian countryside. For modern passengers, the ship provides TVs hidden behind mirrors, heated bathroom floors, climate-controls, WiFi and keyboards in each cabin. With capacity for up to 75 guests, Maria Theresa offers an all-inclusive package with meals, beverages (excluding top-shelf liquor), airport transfers, gratuities and most excursions. The atmosphere is perfect for well-traveled cruisers aged 50 and over, providing a refined and boutique experience similar to Downton Abbey. During the day, the dress code is relaxed and passengers tend to dress up for the captain's welcome and farewell dinners.
