Passau is an old Bavarian city not far from the Austrian border. The rivers Danube, Inn and Ilz flow together in Passau, which is why it is also called the "Three-River City". One of the many sights is the Veste Oberhaus, which served as the residence of the noble bishop of the high monastery of Passau. Passau is the starting point of our cruises on the Danube.
The Wachau is a beautiful landscape in the Danube valley. It is located about 80 km west of Vienna and since 2000 the Wachau, together with the monasteries of Melk and Goettweig and the old town of Krems, has been part of the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage. On our Danube cruises we offer you the opportunity to learn more about this wonderful landscape and marvel at it with your own eyes on numerous excursions, such as "Schoeheiten der Wachau mit Stift Melk".
The former capital of the Kingdom of Hungary - Esztergom - is one of the oldest cities in Hungary. With the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St. Adalbert, the city also has the largest classical basilica in the country and one of the largest church buildings in Europe. On selected tours with a stop in Esztergom, we offer you an excursion to the Danube Bend. In addition to the basilica in Esztergom, a visit to the castle ruins of Visegrád awaits you on this excursion. From there you have a fantastic view over the picturesque landscape of the Danube Bend.
Budapest - a city that was formed in 1873 from the previously independent towns of Buda, Óbuda and Pest - used to be predominantly called Pest-Buda. Nowadays, Budapest is not only the largest but also the capital of Hungary and offers numerous sights, such as the magnificent Parliament building or the Fishermen's Bastion, to name just a few examples. During our river cruises on the Danube, we offer you the opportunity to see and experience this very special city for yourself in the form of excursions and city tours.
Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia and is located near the border triangle where the borders of Slovakia, Hungary and Austria meet. This makes Bratislava the only capital in the world that borders more than one neighbouring country. Due to its location, Bratislava has been influenced by many religions and cultures in the past, which is still reflected in the cityscape today. During our Danube cruises we offer you the opportunity to take part in a guided tour of Bratislava and get to know this interesting city
Vienna is the capital of Austria and, with about 2.8 million people, is home to about one third of the total Austrian population and has a lot to offer both culturally and culinary. The Sacher Torte and the Wiener Schnitzel are known and loved almost worldwide. But Vienna also offers many sights and highlights that you can visit on our city tours and excursions.
Linz is the provincial capital of Upper Austria. Thanks to its location directly on the Danube, Linz was able to gain economic strength very early on. The mixture of historic buildings and squares give the city a unique urban backdrop. On selected tours, you have the opportunity to explore the Pöstlingberg on an excursion. In addition to the pilgrimage basilica, a breathtaking view over the city awaits you on the 539 m high Pöstlingberg. Another highlight is the night watchman tour of Linz. Explore the center of Linz at night around the baroque main square and learn many interesting historical anecdotes from the city's history. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
