Excursions

Excursion "Wine experience incl. Abbey Göttweig" (49 € p.P.)

Today's excursion takes you to Göttweig Abbey. In 2000, it was included as part of the "cultural landscape Wachau" together with the old city centre of Krems and Melk Abbey in the list of UNESCO World Heritage. After the guided to tour you will continue on to the city of Krems. With its more than 1000 years of history, the city is a contemporary witness to Austria's rich wine-growing traditions. Like mighty sky climbs, the wine routes of the Wachau line the banks of the mighty river, where the sun allows the noblest product of this landscape to thrive, the wine. Remains of the Austrian Limes, medieval castles, baroque monasteries and arcade houses from the Renaissance - they all document the history of this area. Here we invite you to a glass of wine.

Excursion Esztergom with wine tasting (49 € p.P.)

Esztergom is located on the border to Slovakia and was once the capital of Hungary. The highlight of the excursion is the Cathedral of Esztergom, which is also the largest cathedral in Hungary. The cathedral is dedicated to Our Lady Mary and Saint Adalbert of Prague, who was received into heaven. You will visit the cathedral with its 100-metre-high dome. The interior of the basilica covers an area of 5,600 m2 and is 118 m long and 49 m wide. In this church the first Hungarian king St. Stephen was crowned. Afterwards, you can finish the excursion with a wine tasting with the tasting of 5 wines, with appetizers served

Excursion Budapest by night (49 € p.P.)

A fascinating light ride through illuminated Budapest: After a short stop on the castle hill and a view of Pest, you drive on to the First Budapest Strudel House. Here you will be shown what accounts for a real strudel. Because if it's called strudel, this pastry must also be so original that there are plenty of stories and, of course, real craft that makes up the good old strudel. Of course, a strudel tasting (2 different varieties) with Tokaj wine is not to be missed. In an exuberant mood, you will return to your ship.

City tour Budapest with organ concert (49 € p.P.)

From the pier you drive to Heroes square - Hösök tere with monuments of many Hungarian kings and the Millennium Monument. On both sides of the beautiful parade square you can see important buildings of new and old art. On the way you will discover many familiar and unknown things of this traditional city - magnificent baroque buildings, the Parliament on the banks of the Danube and the famous Chain Bridge. You walk through the old castle district and reach the Matthias Church - the coronation church of the Hungarian kings. From the church stretches the Fisherman's Bastion with a magnificent view of the Danube and the Parliament. Here you can enjoy a 30-minute organ concert and review the previous impressions of the city.

City tour Bratislava by foot (29 € p.P.)

The tour starts at the pier and takes you through Ludovít Stúr Square - once Coronation Square - to the National Theatre in Hviezdoslav Square. It continues along the promenade past St. Martin's Cathedral, the former coronation cathedral of the Hungarian kings, to the historical centre of the town. The historic alleys lead through the old town with its numerous palaces from the 18th century and to the Michaeler Gate from the 13th century. On the main square you will see many sights, such as the Old Town Hall, the Maximilian Fountain, palaces, an Art Nouveau building, several cafes and also the historic Mayer pastry shop. Only a few steps from the main square you can buy typical Slovak products. Here you can try the typical Bratislava croissants with nut and poppy seed filling. Afterwards the tour continues, passing the opera and the Ganymedes Fountain and back to the ship

City tour Vienna with visit to a sparkling wine cellar (49 € p.P.)

The city tour starts at the landing pier and leads you to the Prater and Ringstraße past the Schottentor, the "Votivkirche", the "2er Linie", the town hall, the Palais Auersperg, the "Volkstheater", the "Museumsquartier" up to the Karlsplatz and the Art museum Albertina. This is where the guided tour of the city centre begins with the Albertina, the famous Spanish Riding School, the Hofburg - Vienna, Michaelerplatz and Kohlmarkt, the moat in the old town as well as St. Stephen's Square with the Gothic St. Stephen's Cathedral - affectionately called "Steffl" by the Viennese. Here you have time at your free disposal. Afterwards you will return to the Albertina together and take the bus back to Schwarzenbergplatz via the Vienna State Opera and Karlsplatz. The tour continues along the Stadtpark, to Franzensbrücke and Praterstern. The excursion is rounded off with a visit to a sparkling wine cellar. During the visit of the cellar you will learn a lot about the production and during the tasting you can convince yourself of the taste.

Excursion Linz incl. Pöstlingberg with hot cider (49 € p.P.)

At the beginning of your excursion you will take the bus to the parking lot at the foot of the Pöstlingberg with its pilgrimage church. The Pöstlingberg - a popular excursion destination - is a 539 m high mountain above the left bank of the Danube in Linz. Visit the baroque pilgrimage church Pöstlingberg and enjoy the view over the city of Linz from the viewing platform. With a Glühmost you can warm up for the rest of the excursion. Afterwards you can explore the Capital of Culture with a guided tour of its numerous churches, which can be seen when walking through the picturesque alleys. In the middle of the main square there is the 20-metre high "Trinity Column" in memory of the victims of the plague. Another highlight on your guided tour of Linz is the Cathedral of the Holy Mary, also known as the "Mariendom". The stained glass windows are particularly remarkable. The best known is probably the so-called Linz Window, which shows representations from Linz's history.
