How much does it cost for a transfer?

The private transfer between Vienna Airport and the river (and vice versa) is available at a price of €95 per car, per trip.

We do not arrange night visits to the markets, but you may visit on your own when the ship stays overnight at the port. The ship will stay overnight only during the first night in Vienna. All other nights ship will be sailing to the next destination at night.

we have learnt that the standard main deck cabin has small windows and reuested if we could have upgrade to a better cabin (last week).
