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

Another tour option: MS Vivienne (arrival every Sunday, from 11.04.-10.10.27)

Blick auf die Drei Flüsse Stadt Passau

Rad und Schiff Tourenkartte der DON 20

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 stay in 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 stay: Aschach

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 stay in 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 stay in 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.

Overnight stay: Esztergom

On a bicycle saddle or by bus, Vienna's most famous sights are within reach during a city tour (optional). The magnificent Ringstrasse is reminiscent of times long past, time-honored coffee houses entice with Viennese pastries. The evening traditionally ends with a classical waltz and operetta concert in the magnificent Schönbrunn Palace (optional). Night boat trip to the Wachau.

Overnight stay: 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. 

Overnight stay: Melk

Once again you can enjoy the first rays of sunshine on deck and the peaceful morning silence of the Danube valley. A last look at the Schlögener Schlinge before you - rich in impressions and experiences - reach Passau/surroundings. Disembarkation: around 11:00 am. Individual journey home. We recommend reserving connecting connections for the journey home no earlier than 12:00 p.m.

This waiver excludes lost keys, e-bike batteries and chargers, as well as damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence.

Among us

River cruise ships differ from ocean-going vessels in several ways. Their size (length, height, width) is limited by the conditions on rivers, such as bridges and locks. Therefore, cabins offer more space than hotel rooms. Nevertheless, they are comfortably furnished and provide everything you need for a pleasant stay. A river cruise ship is both a "holiday hotel" and a "working vessel." It is constantly moving and must be operated day and night. This can also lead to restrictions, such as lock or bridge passages, which may occur at night. While docked, the view may be obstructed by other ships or harbor walls. However, this is part of the unique character of a river cruise and offers the opportunity to observe other ships and the surrounding area up close. In the event of extreme high or low water levels, officially mandated lock or bridge repairs, or engine or propulsion failure of the ship for reasons beyond its control, the shipping company reserves the right to modify or cancel the trip. In these cases, there is no legal entitlement to compensation. The same applies to lock or bridge repairs ordered by the authorities, or to engine or propulsion damage to the ship that is not the ship's fault.
