The crew were amazing. The waiter's extraordinary. I had problems getting around because of my broken ankle and they looked after me like a queen. Best 58th birthday ever!

Very nice staff and nice ambience. What we personally were missing was music. A little music by Strauss would have made the trip even more perfect 🤩🤩🥂

The boat trip to Dürnstein was very nice! We were lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy the sun on the upper deck. What we liked less: The dinner that was offered in buffet form was stormed. Unfortunately, some guests had no manners and pushed their way to the 3rd - 4th meal, with the other guests lining up from the buffet to the other end of the dining deck. We lost our appetite at the sight!

I have booked that short tour to attract my young daughters. As they never before being on a ships. And they really enjoyed this. On this tour we amazed how beauty is Vienna looked from Danube, we impressed how river locks lifting the boat. Dürnstein town is awesome - small and cosy. Thanks to crew for hospitality and care. Snacks on board were delicious.

Your Experience

Sail Along the Wachau Valley

Start your day with a delicious continental breakfast on board the MS Kaiserin Elisabeth II, a luxurious ship that will take you from Vienna to the Wachau Valley. As you sail along the Danube, admire the skyline of Vienna, the Kahlenberg mountain, and the Klosterneuburg monastery. You will also pass by the garden city of Tulln, where you can see the Egon Schiele Museum and the Roman Museum. Aboard the cruise, you'll also enjoy a lunchtime snack of veal goulash with pastries.

Explore the Charming Village of Dürnstein

After about 6 hours of cruising, you will arrive at Dürnstein, a picturesque village with a blue church tower and a historic castle. Here, with 2 hrs to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site on your own, visit the ruins of Dürnstein Castle, where King Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned in 1192. You can also visit the gothic hall, the Danube terrace, and the baroque collegiate church at Dürnstein Abbey or take a stroll through the cobblestone streets, shop for local handicrafts, and taste some of the famous Wachau wines. You can also opt for the Bratislava cruise if you don't have enough time to cover the other two attractions.

A Voyage Full of Culinary Surprises

Return to the vessel for a traditional apple and curd strudel treat before indulging in a 4-course dinner buffet, featuring a range of Austrian favorites, from chicken stroganoff to vegetarian lasagna, and desserts.
