The evening boat trip was fabulous ... didn't book a meal in advance but had the option to eat and drink on upper enclosed deck when on board. The experience was even better when we went outside on to the outer deck. ... You definitely need 3 hours (rather than the 1 hour daytime option)

The single dumpling in the teacup was the top 😅 Otherwise it was a pleasant evening with lots of people, just need to organize everything else a little better

The food was very good and sufficient. A better rating would certainly have been given if we had also sailed on the Danube. Due to the weather this was not possible so we went up and down the canal three times
    • Experience Vienna's enchanting evening ambiance from the water as you sail along the Danube, witnessing the city's captivating skyline.

    • See the stunning contrast of modern and historical architecture lining the Vienna city center from the unique perspective of the Danube River.

    • Glide through the verdant landscapes of "Green Vienna," spotting the Urania observatory and the impressive lock system at Freudenau. Don't miss the Nussdorf Lock nearby!

    • Toast to the evening with a refreshing welcome drink of sparkling wine and cap your evening with a 3-course dinner.

    • Fun Fact: In 2015, a mysterious around USD 143,000 in cash was found floating in the Danube near Vienna, the source still remains a secret.

    Too much time sitting. Dinner too long without entertainment. Music at times (and it's Christmas)

    We would have liked information about the central on-board system. We all look at our cell phones enough and I don't have to do this on a sightseeing tour or hold my cell phone to my ear and operate it. Digitalization should have its limits and not be used everywhere!!!
