Your experience on Vienna’s evening Danube cruise

A river journey through city lights

Step on board for a distinctive Vienna experience: an evening cruise that showcases the city bathed in the warm glow of nightfall. Departing from Schwedenplatz, your voyage takes you past historic and modern architectural highlights that define Vienna’s iconic riverside view. As you drift under the evening sky, see the renowned Urania observatory, the unique Hundertwasser district heating plant, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, and glimpses of the Vienna State Opera and the historic Hofburg Palace.

Discover the contrasts of Vienna’s cityscape

Travel along both the Danube River and its canal, gaining a fresh perspective on Vienna’s blend of new and old. Marvel at contrasts, from sleek skyscrapers to classic domes, as the waterway opens up vistas typically missed from the streets. The illuminated city centre unfolds in a panorama, offering endless photo opportunities and a chance to absorb local landmarks from a tranquil setting.

Scenic and natural views along Green Vienna

As the cruise leaves the city centre behind, glide into lush areas known as 'Green Vienna.' Here, you can appreciate natural riverside landscapes in evening tranquillity. Pass through the fascinating Freudenau lock system and keep an eye out for the Nußdorf Lock — both engineering landmarks with stories to tell. Each turn brings a new scene, ensuring your journey remains engaging.

Settle in as you enjoy a complimentary welcome sparkling wine and relax to the gentle rhythm of the water. If you select the dinner option, a freshly prepared three-course meal is served on board, pairing Austrian culinary tradition with stunning views. The attentive crew ensures a smooth, pleasant evening from start to finish, with ample space to stroll the decks or sit back in comfort.
