The musicians shape the programme live and adapt their performances to the atmosphere on board. Sometimes instrumental, sometimes vocal, they create musical moments that showcase Vienna at its most authentic. The close connection between artists and guests, combined with the relaxed onboard atmosphere, makes every cruise a unique experience.
Vienna also reveals its culinary side on board. Enjoy a generous buffet featuring Austrian classics and regional specialties, including traditional cold platters, cheese selections, Viennese potato salad, meat patties, roast pork, Viennese beef goulash, apple strudel, and other sweet treats. All the while, take in the views of the Danube and the city passing by.
Combining Viennese music, a Danube cruise, regional cuisine, and the distinctive charm of Austria’s capital, this evening offers an authentic experience of Vienna in all its many facets, right on the water.
