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
