Special occasions deserve a special setting.
One thing sets a celebration on board apart from a celebration on land: the venue itself is constantly changing. As your guests enjoy the occasion, Vienna or the Wachau passes by outside the windows. Not as an additional programme item, but as an integral part of the experience.
This makes a ship an ideal setting for a wide range of occasions, including birthdays, anniversaries, graduation celebrations, engagements, family gatherings or simply a get-together with family and friends. Rather than choosing a traditional venue, the cruise itself becomes part of the celebration. You can choose between a cruise through Vienna with views of the skyline or a route through the Wachau, passing vineyards, historic towns and the scenic Danube landscape.
Whether with family, friends or a larger group of guests, there is a suitable ship for every occasion. As Vienna or the Wachau glides by, conversations flow naturally and shared memories are created. Catering and the overall programme can be tailored to suit your individual celebration.
