A short trip that will linger long in your heart and mind. At the Schlögener Loop, the Danube makes two spectacular turns before choosing the most beautiful route to Vienna: through the narrow Wachau Valley, where castle ruins and sugar-cube monasteries peek out from terraced vineyards and orchards. This region is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to superb wines and enchanting beauty. In Vienna itself, you’ll be spoiled for choice with cultural experiences, historical sights, and excellent cuisine.
All cruises are international, meaning that all materials—such as menus, public announcements, etc.—are in English. Similarly, tours are available with English-speaking guides, and the onboard staff speaks English (and usually German as well).
Wachau - About 80 km west of Vienna lies the Wachau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This valley is flanked by steep slopes where some of Europe’s finest grape varieties are grown. Amidst this landscape, you’ll pass castles, palaces, and romantic ruins that bear witness to a bygone era. In such an enchanting landscape, it’s no wonder that there are many legends about the Wachau, ranging from mythical tales to historical events, including the Napoleonic Wars. Authors such as Josef Wichner and Hans Plöckinger have published collections of these legends—perfect reading material for a visit to the region.
Vienna—the true highlight of your Danube cruise. Thanks to its many museums, galleries, palaces, and castles, the State Opera, and numerous theaters, the city enjoys a vibrant cultural scene all year round.
Linz – Baroque facades, numerous churches, and a river running through the center. As you can see, Linz, Austria’s largest port city, can be described in a single sentence. But that would be an injustice, because Linz offers much more than just a river and buildings. In recent years, this former industrial hub has transformed into a European cultural stronghold. Whether it’s theater, cinema, art, or music, there is a high demand for culture. The city also offers magnificent views—especially in the evening—from the pilgrimage church on Pöstlingberg Hil

The Ijsselmeer is an inland lake that was created by diking the Wadden Sea and the Zuiderzee bay. This is where you’ll find the lovely little town of Hoorn – make sure you explore it during your cruise along the northern Rhine. | |||
| 2 | Vienna | 14:00 | 23:59 | |

Vienna has a rich history, with its emperors, Elisabeth of Austria and the ostentatious Habsburgs, adding to its fascination. Music also plays a big part of any visit where the First Viennese School of composers Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven were equally inspired by the city. Explore The Hofburg Palace, take a ride on the Riesenrad Ferris Wheel or visit the famous traditional coffee houses. The Austrian capital also produces excellent cuisine, with Wiener schnitzel and Sachertorte worth trying. | |||

Dürnstein is one of the most famous tourist destinations along the Austrian Danube. Experience how the beauty of the wine terraces meets the tradition of medieval architecture.

Your Danube cruise is the perfect opportunity to get to know the Austrian city of Linz. It offers an exciting mix of cultural attractions and true works of art.
