River trips · VIENNA
Good sailings fill up days ahead and the best ones first. Below: the 5 vienna river cruises to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Spend 8.5 hours beyond Vienna with a guide such as Tommy, Ava, or Erich, visiting Krems, Dürnstein, and Melk. In summer, cruise the Danube past vineyards and castles, then explore Melk Abbey with the all-inclusive option. In winter, the abbey is included instead of the boat trip.
“Excellent! Just make this after April as nature wasn't ready for our visit!”
Spend three hours aboard the MS Vindobona, MS Blue Danube, or MS Wien as Vienna fades into evening. You’ll cruise through the city and along the Danube, with an upper deck, live camera feed, and fresh Viennese food available from Roman Loos’s onboard restaurant. Food and drinks cost extra, and there is no regular sightseeing commentary.
“The boat was older, we had just done a dinner cruise in Prague....no comparison! This was soooo expensive! We were only able to book the cheaper dinner and the better dinner was available for $40 more. The food was ok, the service was excellent! Our server was kind and attentive! I asked for something that wasn't on the menu, and he was able to get a little bit for me. The onlt area to go outside was the rear and it was small and full of smokers. I would not do this again.”
Board the MS Wien or Hundertwasser-designed MS Vindobona at Schwedenplatz for a 3.5-hour cruise through Vienna’s Danube and canal. You’ll see the Prater’s greenery, Danube Island, modern towers, locks, and central Vienna from the water. Food and drinks are available to buy onboard, with German- and English-speaking staff.
“Was amazing, nice service, nice view. We will book again for a longer way”
You’ll cruise the Danube from the DDSG Blue Danube ticket office, seeing modern Vienna, the Danube Tower, Millennium Tower, Nussdorf lock, Danube Canal, and, on the longer trip, the Prater area and Danube Island. Choose a 1.5-hour cruise or a 3.5-hour version with optional Viennese specialties. English and German assistance is available.
“A great Way to see Vienna from the seaside. Very nice cruise ship and good service”
Take the controls of a private electric floating island on Vienna’s Old Danube. Your group of up to eight gets a joystick-operated boat, water map, anchor, and host assistance. Relax, stop for a swim, or cruise through a calmer side of Vienna. English, German, and Spanish support is available.
Pick a river, a city or a kind of boat.
