A wonderful break from everyday life! The steady hum of the ship, the green trees, the sparkling water, and the green trees along the shore gliding by felt like a temporary meditative retreat. We had sunshine, wind, and a rainstorm. It was absolutely beautiful!

It was a nice trip, well-organized with very friendly staff. The only drawback—and the reason for deducting one point—was that on the aft deck, the engine noise made it impossible to hear the loudspeaker announcements. Perhaps this could be resolved by installing two loudspeakers, one on the right and one on the left, at the back of the railing.

The boat was spacious & had adequate seating for everyone. Boarding was a bit annoying as a lot of people were pushing & shoving to get at the front of the queue & therefore get the better seats. Being a very hot day I decided to sit in the inside lounge but could not hear the commentary because of people talking. The cruise itself was quite good & scenery nice.

Enjoy a 3.5-hour cruise through Vienna's waterways, taking in views from the Prater woods to the city skyline in one seamless journey.

Watch Prater woods slide by, see a grain silo now used as a hotel, then take in views of Vienna's modern skyline from the water as you travel.

Upgrade your cruise by choosing one extra, such as a 2-course lunch (menu attached), schnitzel, apple strudel with hot drink, or unlimited prosecco on board.
