Cruise Vienna’s Danube at sunset on a three-hour evening boat ride with city lights, optional onboard dining, and upper-deck views.

“We purchased our tickets on-line almost a week before and on the day of the trip were at the gate an hour before departure.

10.Sunday Brunch Danube Cruise & Live Music

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 42 reviews · from $78

Cruise Vienna’s Danube with a three-hour Sunday brunch, live music, Austrian pastries, and views from the water for $78 per person.

“Das Buffet war nichts besonders: Nur croissants und Pancake als süsses Frühstück. Nur Weissbrot, keine andere Arten. Als Nachspeise nur ein Fruchtsalat aus der Dose. Keine Kuchen. Meine Freundin, die ein paar Wochen davor, die Aktivität gemacht hatte, erzählte von einem reichen Buffet mit einem Schokobrunnen. Was ist passiert zwischen Anfang März und den 25. April, damit die Leistung so unterschiedlich sein kann?”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 11 reviews · from $85

Cruise Vienna’s Danube with ABBA Chiquita Revival, a Swedish buffet, live music, and dancing during this lively 3.5-hour evening outing.

“It was a lovely evening - the food was good - but the buffet was poorly set up - it would have been nice if the same dishes had been on both sides. The information that the dishes would be replenished might have encouraged some people not to put mountains on their plates. But overall it was a really lovely evening.”
