If you want to spend a chill afternoon in Vienna, a lunch cruise could be just what you need. These cruises are designed to be relaxing and enjoyable, with a focus on good food and stunning scenery. As you sail along the Danube, you'll pass some of the city's most iconic landmarks like Uniqa Tower, Urania Observatory, and Ringturm. And the best part? You get to enjoy a scrumptious meal without any rush.
From freshly prepared 1- or 2-course meals to lavish brunch buffets on select cruises, enjoy good food with a great view. Enjoy regional favorites like Wiener Schnitzel, seasonal vegetable strudels, or sweet treats like Apfelstrudel, all served in stylish, air-conditioned interiors with panoramic windows that make the scenery part of the experience.
As you dine, take in ever-changing views of Vienna’s architectural gems. You'll pass sights like the Urania Observatory, Otto Wagner's Schützenhaus, the sleek Millennium Tower, and historic riverside homes. This blend of old and new Vienna is best appreciated from the water, it's a perspective you simply won’t get on foot or from a tour bus.
Whether you're in the mood for a short city lunch cruise, a relaxing Sunday brunch cruise, or a scenic day trip to Dürnstein or Bratislava, Vienna’s lunch cruises offer an array of experiences.
Some cruises include live music, ranging from elegant classical pieces to traditional Viennese tunes performed by local musicians. It’s the perfect ambiance to complement your meal and the gentle rhythm of the river.
For visitors short on time or looking to streamline their day, lunch cruises are an ideal option. Everything—from the meal to the route—is thoughtfully arranged. Just book, board, and enjoy a relaxed yet immersive introduction to Vienna.

Very nice and well organized public transport and other services The city is very clean and we loved the tulips and the trees The people are friendly and helpful
Lovely relaxing cruise on the Danube canal. Very attentive service nynthe crew
Thank you very much for the experience and the delicious dessert.
The beautiful city views lots of amazing buildings of various architectural designs
Very pleasant. The apfelstrudel was delicious. Very warm welcome. Must do
It was a unique and special experience for us and our grandchildren, the staff were super friendly and the food was very good. The impressions from the canal were worth seeing
The ticketing process was smooth and trouble free. The instructions requiring the online tickets to be exchanged at the upper level (street) ticket office prior to boarding should be better explained to those reserving online. The cruise was enjoyable and the lunch offerings were excellent and delish. It was an enjoyable way to spend part of the afternoon. The PA tour comments onboard the ship could be better as they were hard to hear clearly.
Booked tickets online. The digital ticket had to be exchanged for a paper ticket. Technology of the last century. The view of the sights was very limited. Can't be helped, but if I had known beforehand, I wouldn't have spent €96 on it. The drinks I ordered only arrived at half time. Quite nice, but I wouldn't do it again and wouldn't recommend it.
The uncomplicated booking of tickets via cell phone was very convenient. The service team on site was always friendly and helpful! We really enjoyed the start of the tour! Unfortunately, we did not get enough information about the tour in advance and so we drove a very long part of the route past busy roads and/or highways, which unfortunately made the trip unattractive for us. We were very satisfied with the service and would not book the small round trip again. We were very satisfied with the team on board.
Ticketing was easy. Waitress service for snacks and drinks on board. Plenty of seating. All well organised. Recommend this as a tour.
People jostled us and rushed to sit down. As a result, I spent the whole cruise standing up, trying to squeeze in so I could take photos.
I have very positive memories of the service on board, the smooth boarding and disembarking process and the friendly welcome at the start of the trip. This was due to the dedicated team that made this possible, even though several offers of the same kind had to be completed for them one after the other and without a break. .
Good as it was to short. Would recommend longer trips.
The food on the boat was very good but not much information about what we were seeing.
Good travel, difficulty in finding the ticket office
The coolness of sailing, order and cleanliness on the boat
The boat was clean, the staff were friendly, that apple struddle was great.
The nature around Danube canal was nice.
The walk was very pleasant and the snack very good.
Being on the water - in Vienna
the boat ride was relaxing, but sightseeing was very limited.
The friendly, cozy atmosphere The right place to relax.
Great ship with restaurant. Very friendly board staff...
Good all round - everything was ok - repeat effect
Well organized; nice, quick staff; beautiful ship; delicious food and a lot of nice and funny encounters with the many children of different origins (75) of the excursion classes on board! Unfortunately it was too hot!
The beginning of the journey is a little monotonous on the canal until you reach the Donau. On the Donau it becomes more interesting, especially as you approach Vienna again. The staff are not very customer-oriented. We need a waiter who stays close to the customers and coordinates the rest of the waiters. This would prevent some of them from being preoccupied with their phones.
I could not hear what the guide was saying over the motor noise. I could not see any notable points of interest from the boat.
Ordering the tickets online and exchanging them at the ticket office was smooth. No problems at all. The cruise itself was very nice. It was nice that we had the option to order food from the menu in person, even though we did not choose the lunch cruise option. The main problem that we had with the cruise was all of the people smoking cigarettes the entire 3+ hours. Even the ships crew were smoking the entire time. Frankly, it was gross. The main outdoor area (partially covered) smelled awful and the smoking never let up. As an asthmatic it was problematic. But also the other people in my group who do not have breathing problems found it to be overwhelming and nasty. People even smoked on the upper deck. The only place without smoke was the inside room, which was nice, but sort of defeats the purpose of a river cruise to be stuck indors. I suggest offering smoke-free cruises! Even one per day. I guarantee people will buy tickets. All that smoke is so bad for people's health.
Wheelchair: all very nice and helpful, really, first class, thank you; apple strudel not too small and also first class;
Very good service . As expected there were no delays . Wonderful experience on board . The Danube view is beautiful and the overall experience is very very good. I think that since the weather in Vienna is beautiful there could be more open areas for the guests.
The stay in the two locks took too much time. In contrast to Tour B, Tour A was not worthwhile.
Good meal. Comfortable cruise.
I found the atmosphere here to be
The boat trip itself. The service for the outward and return journey was very friendly. Bratislava is very beautiful. A great old town with lots of places to eat. What I missed was a warm welcome by announcement to all passengers and regular information along the Danube. The breakfast and afternoon snack were very tasty. Lunch was so-so and the buffet was not to my liking.
The food onboard and the relaxed and cosy atmosphere. Nice litte town we visited (Dürnstein). We even got to experience the local band, rehearsal for their concert.
Everything very nice, good service, good staff, very friendly
Very professional staff On time
The ship was great - I liked the inside area and the front deck. The deck at the back has more tables and chairs with a shade, but it is a smoking area. The trip itself was nice, but quite long (13 hours). The staff was great - friendly, efficient and helpful. The food was OK, cantine type, but I didn't expext anything special anyway. The a la carte drinks menu is good, although the prices are a bit high.
There is simply nothing to complain about. The staff were very friendly and funny, the food was good and the trip was very pleasant.
The cruise was very well organized. The staff is very attentive, friendly, competent and helpful. The food was very good 😋 and sufficient.
The Schufffahrt, the service and the staff were absolutely great! Unfortunately, the catering (food) was anything but good! Only for the masses. I haven't eaten so badly for a long time. Please come up with something for this. The rest was and is great. LG Günther 👍🤓🙏
Good food, well organized Unfortunately, toilet paper and towel paper were not provided or only replenished towards the end of the journey. The staff were nice and polite, but not overwhelmed as there were very few passengers on board.
Very good food and a great team on board
Nice and friendly staff, very good food and smooth operation
Instructions indicated that the purchaser of the ticket needed to bring ID, not all persons listed on the ticket. The type of ID required was not indicated, either. The ID presented by the others listed on the ticket was not acceptable and so we were not allowed to take the trip that l'd spent 267 euros on.
The crew were amazing. The waiter's extraordinary. I had problems getting around because of my broken ankle and they looked after me like a queen. Best 58th birthday ever!
Very nice staff and nice ambience. What we personally were missing was music. A little music by Strauss would have made the trip even more perfect 🤩🤩🥂
Despite alert for flood Danube an excellent organization
