HEURIGEN CRUISE WITH VIENNESE SONGS

Marion Zib from Radio Wienerlied brings the best Heurigen duos of the city to our cozy ship. The musicians are also happy to fulfill the song requests of the guests and invite them to sing along and experience the Viennese Schmäh.

Very often people complain that the Viennese song, which is actually popular all over the world, can be heard far too rarely in Vienna. The DDSG has been bringing the right offer for decades. What distinguishes us from other events- our musicians make real Viennese music and not a tourist program. Our foreign guests on board also appreciate this very much.

What is also unusual is that there is no fixed music program. At the beginning of the ride, when the guests help themselves to the excellent buffet, the musicians play discreetly in the background. When the guests have eaten, the musicians go from table to table and fulfill the musical wishes of the guests (as long as the wishes fit the theme of the “Viennese Song Tour”). Via radio microphone the music is transmitted to our onboard system, which allows you to hear the music discreetly throughout the ship. Anyone who feels like it is welcome to sing along.

Marion Zib from Radio Wienerlied has engaged the best Heurigen duos of the city for you. Look forward to a typical Viennese evening with good food, good wines and first-class Viennese folk music.

• Starting at Vienna Reichsbrücke
• Music by the best Heurigen duos in town, organized by Marion Zib from Radio Wienerlied
• Cold & warm Heurigen buffet with typical Viennese delicacies such as schnitzel, spreads, apple strudel and cake

The cruise starts at the Vienna / Reichsbrücke boat station and takes you downstream along the impressive skyline of the Danube plateau. Shortly after setting sail, there are spectacular views of some of the city’s most striking buildings: the DC Tower, the tallest building in Vienna, the Danube Tower, which dominates the cityscape with its 252 meters, and the Millennium Tower, which is considered one of the landmarks of modern Vienna.

The journey continues towards Freudenau lock, past the Buddhist Pagoda, a peaceful building directly on the banks of the Danube. Here the ship turns and heads upstream. This route offers charming views of the Danube Island, a popular local recreation area for the Viennese, and the unspoiled nature of the Danube floodplains, which are among the last large alluvial forests in Europe.

The boat continues upstream towards Klosterneuburg. There, Klosterneuburg Abbey towers above the landscape with its imposing baroque architecture. Shortly before the return journey, the ship passes the Kuchelau harbor, an idyllic natural harbor that creates a very special atmosphere with its calm waters and surrounding green landscapes.

After this varied journey, the ship finally returns to the Vienna / Reichsbrücke boat station.
