Wednesday, June 10 VIENNA Enjoy a relaxing morning onboard your premium river ship, sailing along the Danube River. This afternoon, embrace the elegance of Vienna on a panoramic drive around the Ringstrasse, taking in some of the city’s most famous buildings. On arrival in the centre, a walking tour will provide an insider’s view of sights such as St Stephen’s Cathedral, the Graben and Hofburg Palace.

I am surprised at the speed of the river flow.. To push upstream as we are "currently" doing requires a lot of power. the water flys by and the shore passes very slowly. Engine breakdowns? - - - better not happen!!

Boat length 135m -  Width 11.45m  - Max passengers 182
