The desire
Who does not long for distant lands.
the desire to leave the usual shore behind.
To let oneself faithfully go into the “infinite lightness of being”.
The ship
As noble and genuine as the Wachau World Heritage Site, which the ship passes through respectfully during the season.
The decks of the MS Austria are lovingly prepared for your little “time out” – away from the usual terrain.
The crew
Experienced, competent and friendly. They will fulfill your wishes with pleasure.
“Joie de vivre” is program on board – in the middle of a region of sensual pleasure.
Our offer for you
Enjoy the Cruise through the World Heritage Site aboard the MS Austria, the Queen of the Wachau, from Wednesday till Sunday.
Sensual compositions of River Cruises aboard the MS Austria and culinary delights or regional attractions.
Our winery, with its surrounding vineyards, offers a unique view of the blue tower of Dürnstein.

- Merging with the infinite joy of life while losing oneself in mindfulness to the beautiful, the good and the true - for a small eternity.
