Thank you for sharing your experience here with us. We very much regret that your trip was not able to go ahead as planned, and was suspended due to restrictions related to the ongoing health crisis. Our Reservations Department will be able to offer you a few different re-booking options going forward, so please do get in touch with the team to establish what might work best for you. With that said, once again we certainly do regret that we were not able to travel with you to Austria this holiday season, however we hope to be able to share a journey together somewhere soon.
