Vienna, wine and, time and again, the Wachau

Riverside Luxury Cruises is celebrating autumn with a special wine tour – bringing together what belongs together: luxurious travel of the highest standard and visits to selected wineries in the region

Hamburg, 29 September 2026 – No plans for the autumn yet? We’ve got a great idea. How about a wine tour aboard the Riverside Mozart from Vienna to Passau? This luxurious ship, which has already
won several awards for its cuisine, offers the perfect setting for this extraordinary tour from 15 to 19 November 2026: Instead of cabins, there are exclusively suites on board; every guest enjoys butler service, and as the bucolic landscape of the Wachau glides past like a stage set, it is both a source of joy and a moment of contemplation.

The first stop after boarding in Vienna is the Kracher Winery, renowned for its distinctive premium sweet wines. From there, the journey continues upstream towards Dürnstein, whose blue church tower is not only regarded as ‘God’s pointing finger’, but also marks the way to the enchanted Wachau. Amidst castles and vineyards, the journey continues to Gobelsburg Castle in the Kamptal. It is one of the oldest continuously operated vineyards in the Danube region, with a history dating back to the 12th century. Simplicity and austerity were the guiding principles of the Cistercian monks, which they used to shape this multi-award-winning wine.

Back on board, à la carte menus and two exclusive dinners in the saloon await – naturally accompanied by exquisite wines. On board the Riverside Mozart, as on all ships operated by Riverside Luxury Cruises, everything is freshly prepared using regional produce – from bread, gravies and jams right through to the exceptional dishes that draw inspiration from the cuisines of the respective regions. Between culinary experiences and visits to the vineyards, the spa on board this largest and most exclusive ship on the Danube offers relaxation – with a swimming pool, sauna area and first-class treatments. www.riverside-cruises.com
