This is not my review, couldn't send my actual review unfortunately!!! My review: The ship was far too small for the number of passengers. passengers, insufficient protection from the sun on a very hot day. Outside area too cramped and with far too little space. A whole hour in the lock is not an experience at all. The route itself did not show any interesting sights or anything similar. Therefore, the trip is definitely not recommended

It was very pleasant, as the day was a little cloudy and the sun wasn't burning so mercilessly. The cool breeze on the water was good, as was the peace and quiet. All in all, very relaxing. Until the moment the locks open. All the guests get very excited and try to get the best spot on the railing to watch the spectacle. I think the lock trips are always a highlight for everyone.

Clean, friendly staff. Prices on drinks and food more ok than at the terraces in town. Great experience for those who have never been through the Danube locks

A Glimpse of Vienna's Urban Evolution

Embark on a mesmerizing journey with the Grand Danube River Cruise, offering a unique perspective of Vienna's evolution. As your ship cruises past the Urania observatory, be captivated by Vienna's commitment to science and the stars. Make your way through the 'green heart' of Vienna, the Prater area, an oasis of tranquility amidst the bustling city. A highlight is a grain silo converted into a hotel, a testament to Vienna's innovative spirit. The journey then takes you past the Danube Island, a haven for nature lovers, before reaching the Reichsbrücke station.

Architectural Marvels and Culinary Delights on the Danube
