This is a wonderful tour for people who have half a day at hand and want to view the entire Wachau valley at a leisurely pace. Since this is tour from Melk to Krems and a return ticket, you can easily skip going to Krems and get down at Spitz or Duernsstein and visit the town's quickly and hop on the vessel that comes back (need to know the timing, etc.) The mobile voucher needs to be replaced with a printed ticket at the DSSG office next to the start point. Advisable to reach 10-15 minutes in advance to get seats of your choice on the deck.

I took the 5+ hour round trip from Melk to krems and back. It was a beautiful cruise. The ride up river takes much longer than down due to currents. So be patient and enjoy the view. Food and drinks available. I would recommend this cruise to anyone wanting to see the incredible sights without dealing with traffic.

Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die fleißige Bordcrow mit ANCA mit C an der Spitze, die sich um unsrer leibliches Wohl gesorgt hat wärend der Zeit unserer Schifffahrt. Sie und unser CLAUS mit C verstanden es auch alle bei Laune zu halten. Das schöne Wetter tat sein Übriges
