About this activity
Choose an 11am, 1pm, 2:30pm, or 4pm sightseeing tour, then hop aboard your sightseeing boat in Vienna’s Shipstation City port to begin your 75-minute cruise. Take a seat in the welcoming indoor salon or on the sundeck, and take to the calm waters of the pretty Danube Canal.
Cruise along the river and admire fine views over top Vienna attractions including Otto Wagner’s Schützenhaus and the imposing Rossauer Baracks — built to protect the city against uprisings following the 1848 Revolution. Along the way, listen as the on-board commentary sheds light on landmarks such as the contemporary Zaha Hadid-House and Friedensreich Hundertwasser's intriguingly designed Spittelau waste plant.
Enjoy sweeping views over sites of interest like the famous Badeschiff Vienna — a ‘floating’ swimming pool on a long barge — and the impressive Sofitel Vienna Stephansdom hotel, designed by architect Jean Nouvel.
When your 75-minute round-trip cruise comes to an end, alight back at your starting point to conclude your tour.

It was really a nice experience to ride that cruise. Commentary was knowledgeable and restaurant and restaurant staff was very nice.
Tour was nice, we had a great view of the city. It was a bit shorter than I expected but it was very nice and informative.
Very enjoyable tour. Wish it would of gone onto the actual Danube River itself. Glad it was bilingual...
The tour was great - wish for a longer one. One VERY IMPORTANT THING - after the purchase of the tour I received the indications that the only thing to do is print the voucher. We arrived half an hour earlier and at the boarding they told us to go quickly upstairs and exchange the voucher on real tickets ... So this is an important information that must be on your voucher.
After a full day of walking the city this was a nice relaxing way to see a bit more. Full food and drink available on board Sit back soak up the sunshine on the back of the boat and have a beer while viewing the funky little Canal and some great architecture
Complete waste of time. Commentary was sparse and difficult to understand, didn't see much from the boat. Don't bother with this trip unless you want to ride up the river on a boat- it is not a tour.
It was a great tour, very cold but there were blankets and hot beverages available at the bar to warm up with. We took the half-round trip.
