Bike & Boat Austrian Danube MS Primadonna

MS Primadonna

The ship's generous amenities include the panoramic restaurant 'Primo Gusto' and the panoramic bar 'Primavera', the Danube Arena 'Prima Vista', and the onboard theater 'Primo Theatro', a place for socializing. Heating and air conditioning are available throughout the ship (individually adjustable in the cabins). The third largest Danube cruise ship is 113,5 meters long and 17,4 meters wide, far surpassing other river cruise ships in terms of spaciousness. There's no feeling of confinement in the corridors, and the public areas – from the restaurant to the bar – offer a wonderful sense of space. The 60-meter-long and 8-meter-wide atrium is a perfect place to gather before meals, read newspapers undisturbed, and enjoy other activities.

Thanks to the striking architecture of the catamaran and the 9-meter-high bow glazing in the Danube Arena between the two hulls, you'll have a view of the Nibelungen River, which flows literally beneath your feet. You'll feel as if you're floating above the water. At reception, a glass floor with integrated lighting offers a glimpse into the underwater world, making your stay on the Primadonna a truly unique experience. On the open deck, you'll find a small whirlpool, sun loungers, sunshades, and comfortable seating areas. The wellness area features a large indoor whirlpool, a Kneipp foot bath, and a sauna. Therapeutic and beauty massages are available by prior arrangement, and an onboard hairdresser completes the offerings.

ACCESSIBILITY

The MS Primadonna has two accessible cabins on the promenade deck and two on the upper deck. These cabins feature two separate beds, and their arrangement provides more space for movement. One of the single beds is accessible from both sides, and the other is positioned with one side against the wall. The cabin includes a desk and a bedside table. The bathroom has grab bars for support, and a shower stool is available upon request from reception for the duration of the trip. The balcony is not wheelchair accessible due to a small step. Transfers and city tours are available if you are able to board and disembark the bus independently. Manual wheelchairs can be used on board without any problems; electric wheelchairs weighing up to 35 kg are permitted and can be used for shore excursions (without the bus), but not on board (they must be stored in the cabin). Manual loan wheelchairs are available for getting around the ship (free of charge, advance booking required; only a deposit needs to be paid at reception).

GUESTS ON BOARD

We take great care to ensure that our excursion program on the MS Primadonna is regionally focused, highlighting the unique features of each port of call. Our guests are not subjected to hours-long bus transfers to other cities like Salzburg. For this reason, our trips are particularly popular with guests from Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.
