Cycle by bike + boat from the "Bavarian Venice" right into the heart of the once glamorous Austro-Hungarian Empire. Look forward to three of the most charming capitals in Europe: the waltz metropolis of Vienna, the coronation city of Bratislava and Budapest, the "Paris of the East" and enjoy unique Danube river landscapes and regional specialties. The bike tours lead through the wildly romantic Schlögener Donauschlinge, the picturesque Danube bend with the largest cathedral in Hungary and the legendary UNESCO World Heritage Site Wachau with its dreamy little towns, enchanted castles and palaces. Enjoy an exclusive atmosphere on board the two premium cruise ships – whether in the spacious, comfortable cabins or the stylish outdoor areas. Every minute of this eventful cycle tour promises a very special holiday experience
Other tour variants: MS Vivienne (Arrival every Sunday, from April 20.04th to October 12.10.25th, )
Use the time until embarkation between 16:00 p.m. and 17:00 p.m. for a stroll through the city, marvel at the world's largest church organ in Passau Cathedral and enjoy Bavarian cosiness in the beer garden. Then it's time to cast off! The dream scenery of Passau's old town slowly disappears on the horizon.
Overnight place: Passau
The day is a real cycling pleasure! You cycle from Engelhartszell (former Trappist monastery) through the wild and romantic Danube loop, one of the most beautiful stretches of the river with dreamy farming villages. Cozy cider taverns tempt you along the way with all kinds of delicacies. In the idyllic boating town of Aschach, you board the ship again and "sail" into the night.
Overnight place: Ashach
Along the former Iron Curtain, a narrow cycle path leads from the Devin fortress to the imposing Hof Palace with one of the most magnificent baroque gardens in Europe. A small piece of untouched nature follows and shortly afterwards you are in the vibrant metropolis of Bratislava. Our city tour (optional) leads to the castle hill, from where you can enjoy a unique panoramic view of the coronation city, and ends with a tour of the historic city center.
Overnight place: Bratislava
The entrance to Budapest is breathtakingly beautiful with a view of the most beautiful buildings in the city. During a city tour (optional) you will discover the Danube metropolis or take a detour to the enchanting artists' town of Szentendre. In the evening, a visit to the Jewish quarter is worthwhile.
Overnight place: Budapest
Steep mountain slopes frame the picturesque, gently rolling landscape of the "Hungarian Wachau". At the farmer's market in Vác you can stock up on typical specialties, history, folklore and Hungarian joie de vivre accompany you during your bike tour to Esztergom (Nibelungenlied/King Etzel's seat), where the mighty basilica (Hungary's largest church) rises high above the castle district into the sky protrudes.

On a bicycle saddle or by bus, Vienna's most famous sights are within reach during a city tour (optional).

The evening traditionally ends with a classical waltz and operetta concert in the magnificent Schönbrunn Palace (optional). Night boat trip to the Wachau.
Overnight place: Vienna/Wachau
Your last bike tour is the crowning glory! The gently rolling hills of the Wachau enchant you with dreamy villages, historic castles and palaces surrounded by apricot trees and vineyards. Cozy wine taverns along the bike path invite you to linger (wine tasting optional). The magnificent baroque jewel of Melk Abbey sits high above the Danube.
