Lungu Mariana – Romania

The views are amazing. The only minus is that you cannot hear the explanation on the deck.

Full description

From the end of March to the beginning of November, the proud red-and-white fleet will take you on a daily leisurely cruise through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Wachau. A boat trip through the Wachau is an experience in every season. In spring, the apricot and fruit trees are in full bloom whilst in the summer you will drive past baroque monasteries and medieval castles under a bright blue sky. In in the autumn you can see a natural spectacle when the vineyards turn red-gold and shimmer in the afternoon sun.

Your ship will allow you to travel in comfort through the UNESCO World Heritage Site Wachau. These ships have huge sundecks with plenty of seating, as well as a partial roof and a beautiful all-round view which contribute to the perfect experience.

Let yourself be pampered in the on-board restaurants, with a varied food and beverage package being offered. The menu focuses on regional products and modern interpretations of Wachau classics, such as a summer salad with apricot pieces.

Bob – August 12, 2019 – Verified booking
This is a wonderful tour for people who have half a day at hand and want to view the entire Wachau valley at a leisurely pace. Since this is tour from Melk to Krems and a return ticket, you can easily skip going to Krems and get down at Spitz or Duernsstein and visit the town's quickly and hop on the vessel that comes back (need to know the timing, etc.) The mobile voucher needs to be replaced with a printed ticket at the DSSG office next to the start point. Advisable to reach 10-15 minutes in advance to get seats of your choice on the deck.
