  • River Cruise Docks

    River cruise ships dock at mainly at the Reichsbrücke terminal (Schiffahrtszentrum Wien), located on Handelskai.

From here it’s a five to ten minutes ride by U-Bahn line 1 (underground railway) into the city centre of Vienna Austria.

    Frequent departures from the Vienna river terminal cater for tourists looking for the Danube’s many scenic routes in Austria and beyond, but cruises to the port of Budapest, Hungary are particularly in demand.

    Major cruise lines departing from the port are Avalon Waterways, Scenic Tours and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises.

    Some ships dock at Nussdorf, a village located to the north of Vienna. Nussdorf is less convenient. Most larger companies will dock at the Reichsbrücke pier.

    You are able to find the best options for passengers wishing to spend one or more nights in accommodation in and around the river cruise terminal of Vienna.

    Visitors to the city may do well to look for online cruise and hotel deals before they reach the terminal, in order to ensure the biggest savings and to take advantage of the widest availability of rooms and suites in local hotels.

  • Looking for a cheap deal ?

    When looking for a cheap deal for a hotel room in the Vienna river port area, it is important to stick to a budget to ensure the whole of one’s holiday goes smoothly.

    This is especially true if the rest of the holiday break continues on a cruise ship along the river Danube to another destination.

    There are several properties in the river port area of Vienna and most will be happy to accommodate guests just in from cruises or departing early in the morning for their explorations of the Danube.

    Therefore many large chains and smaller establishments vie for tourist attention. It also pays to remember that, for large chain hotels, a river view room is going to be far more expensive than a room without a picturesque vista over the Danube below.

    When booked in advance, there may be a substantial saving on room rates and extras such as meals and in house perks such as use of a spa or gym. So it pays to do one’s research early to avoid expensive rates and disappointment at busy times of year (the summer months).
