Tour details
Individual arrival in the 3-river city of Passau. After you have checked into your cabin, the MS SE-Manon departs and you sail through the scenic “Schlögener Schlinge”. Our tour guide will welcome you on board with a glass of sparkling wine.
It's worth getting up early today. Experience the uniqueness of the legendary Wachau at sunrise - one of the most beautiful river valleys and wine-growing regions in Europe. Your ship approaches the imperial city of Vienna around midday. The city of music and joie de vivre, where Sachertorte and Heuriger are just as famous as St Stephen's Cathedral and the Hofburg. In the afternoon, you will experience the most important sights on a classic city tour followed by a walking tour.
After dinner, you will have the opportunity to experience Vienna from a very special perspective. A small group excursion takes you to the Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel, the world-famous landmark in the Prater. There you will not only enjoy the marvellous view over the city, but also a stylish wine tasting with regional wines in a special atmosphere.
You reach Melk in the morning. The baroque Melk Abbey towers impressively above the town and is considered one of the most important spiritual and cultural centers in Austria. In the morning, visit the famous abbey together with an experienced tour guide (optional). In the afternoon, learn more about fruit growing and the special features of the apricot fruit on the optional excursion “Expedition into the realm of the apricot”. A tasting rounds off this expedition.
Your next destination is Linz, the city of lights. Today you have the opportunity to take part in an optional city tour of Linz. On the city tour, your guide will take you along Linz's cultural mile into the baroque old town. You will visit the Alter Markt, the Mozarthaus and the beautiful arcaded courtyard of the Linzer Landhaus. In the afternoon, the tour continues to the Pöstlingberg. The Pöstlingbergbahn takes you up the mountain in comfort and a magnificent view of Linz and the surrounding countryside awaits you at the top. On the last evening of your short trip, the captain invites you to a gala dinner.
After arrival in Passau, disembarkation and individual return journey.

If due to low or high water levels, or bad weather conditions, a route cannot be sailed, the captain reserves the right to alter the itinerary for your safety. (No legal right shall arise in either situation). The same shall apply for repair or maintenance works on locks and bridges ordered by river and other local authorities with little or no advance.
Important notice Please bear in mind that your ship is not only your “vacation hotel”, but also a piece of equipment that is powered by an engine and has to be operated constantly, even at night (sometimes with lock and bridge passages). We recommend that guests who are particularly sensitive to noise bring earplugs. Disturbances must always be expected when passing through locks. Please note: at low water, the pool may have to be emptied to reduce the draught of the ship and is then not available.
