A pleasantly cool atmosphere, since we were in Vienna during a heat wave. There were announcements about the buildings along the riverbank. Friendly service in the dining area.

The ride was very pleasant and not too crowded; the service was good. I would recommend this tour to tourists who aren’t familiar with Vienna because it isn’t too long either.

It's a special experience to see your own city from a new perspective. The apple pie and coffee were delicious, and the service was excellent and friendly.

Very pleasant cruise but not much in the way off iconic landmarks. It is still a pleasant way to spend an hour or so. The crew were very friendly and the ship served a wide range of snack and beverage.and was comfortable.

Enjoy a 75-minute Danube Canal sightseeing cruise, an easy way to see Vienna from the water without planning routes or changing public transport.

See landmarks and graffiti art along the Danube Canal, watching Vienna's walls and neighborhoods line the water throughout the cruise.

Upgrade to options that include a Viennese lunch (menu attached), schnitzel, apple strudel with a hot drink, or unlimited prosecco.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful—that’s Austria for you! The announcements during the trip were barely audible because of the chatter from the other passengers. The written booking confirmation (email) didn’t mention that the ticket had to be exchanged at the counter before check-in. So I ended up running back and forth unnecessarily between the pier and the counter...
