Danube Stations and parking
The red-white-red flag is hoisted, the golden-yellow crown polished.
The MS Austria and its crew are ready to welcome you to a “River delight” At 10:05 a.m., Captain Herbert Reisinger gives “full speed ahead” – you can hear the propellers starting to turn faster and faster.
We recommend the arrival at least 30 minutes
before departure of the ship.
