  • Bike from 'Bavarian Venice' to the home of the Viennese Waltz

    By bike and boat from 'Bavarian Venice', you'll arrive in the glamorous royal regions of Austria and Hungary via Germany and Slovakia. Discover three of Europe's most spellbinding capitals: Vienna, the 'City of the Waltz'; Bratislava, 'The White City' of Slovakian coronations; and Budapest, the 'Paris of the East'. Along the way, explore the romantic regions of the 'Great Loop' (Schlögener Donauschlinge), the Danube Bend near Hungary's grandest cathedral, and the resplendent winegrowing region of Wachau - part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site list owing to its exquisite villages, palaces, and castles.

    The wide stream of the Danube flows like a silver belt through Budapest, separating the hilly Buda and the flat Pest. The important cupola of the basilica in Esztergom salutes you from the distance. At the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, the Slovakian capital of Bratislava invites you in with its charming Old Town. And what about a flirt with Vienna, 'City of the Waltz'? A firework of sightseeing opportunities, dreamy coffee bars, and cozy wine taverns await you.

    On board your comfortable cruise ship, you'll enjoy a superb atmosphere – in the spacious, convenient cabins, as well as in the stylish outdoor area. Behold fantastic views of breathtaking landscapes from your bike, the deck pool, the comfy seats of the panorama lounge, and even during your amazing meals in the first-class restaurant.

    This exciting bike trip is a truly unforgettable holiday.

    This tour must meet a minimum of 90 passengers 4 weeks prior to cruise start.

    A guided package is available on the MV Vivienne on May 28; Jun 18; Jul 16; Aug 6; Sep 03, 24, 2023. Please see the Dates & Prices tab for inclusions.

    Danube Four Countries

     Tour Description Daily Program 

  • Daily program

    Day 1: Arrival in Passau; On to Engelhartszell
    Boarding time is at 4:00 pm. Picturesque Passau is nicknamed the 'City of Three Rivers' due to its situation at the confluence of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers. In your leisure time, take a stroll around this historic cobblestone town, listening to the peal of bells from the Gothic Town Hall, or to the rich tones of the world's largest church organ inside St. Stephan's Cathedral. At 6:00 pm, you'll cast off!

    Day 2: Great Loop, Engelhartszell – Aschach (27 miles/43 km)
    The first day's tour begins with a bicycle ride through the classic scenery of the 'Great Loop' (Schlögener Donauschlinge), one of the most beautiful and intriguing sections of the Danube. En route, you'll ride through charming villages complete with cozy cider taverns. Arriving in Engelhartszell, home to Austria's only Trappist monastery, you can sample their tantalizing liquors and cheeses. The famous 'Schlogener View' provides a wonderful vista of the enchanting Austrian countryside. The boat welcomes all cyclists back on board in the charming market town of Aschach.

    Day 3: Devin – Bratislava (28 miles/45 km)
    Pedaling along the former 'Iron Curtain', you'll cross the green line and arrive at the imposing Imperial Palace of Hof with its beautifully terraced gardens. Follow the bike path through Austria's 'vegetable garden' to the coronation city of Bratislava, Slovakia's lively capital. Explore 'The White City', set beneath the slopes of the Little Carpathians, discovering its hidden alleyways and grand sights on an optional city tour.

    Day 4: Budapest | Szentendre (15 miles/24 km, or rest day)
    The entrance to Budapest, Hungary's capital, is stunning. Savor the staggering beauty of this regal city with a guided bike tour or individual bike tour (optional) to discover its sightseeing highlights. You can also choose to cycle to the charming town of Szentendre, with its Mediterranean atmosphere and lively arts scene. In the evening it is definitely worth visiting the Jewish Quarter.

    Day 5: Danube Bend – Esztergom (26 miles/42 km)
    Situated in the middle of the Danube River, the idyllic isle of Szentendre exudes silent Puszta romance. History, folklore, and the Hungarian way of life will accompany you on your way to Esztergom where the gorgeous basilica - Hungary's largest Catholic church - impresses all who encounter its phenomenal facade.

    Day 6: Rest day in Vienna
    Be spellbound by the 'City of Dreams', replete with sightseeing opportunities such as St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Hofburg, the gorgeous Ringstraβe boulevard (home to the Burgtheater), the State Opera House, and the Town Hall. Capitalize on your time with a cycling day tour around vibrant Vienna, Austria's spectacular capital. Take time to relax in one or more of Vienna's famous cafes, perhaps sampling the sumptuous 'Sachertorte', while the evening ends impressively at a classical concert (optional) at the famous Viennese Palace.

    Day 7: Wachau | Krems – Melk (23 miles/37 km)
    Your last biking day is a special highlight! An impressive ruin looms above the little baroque town of Durnstein, whilst the blue tower of the monastery church is a landmark of the renowned Wachau Valley. With dreamy towns, apricot trees, vineyards, and castles, this hilly landscape enchants everyone who visits. You'll be biking on cloud nine! In Spitz (with the possibility for a wine tasting) you'll find cozy wine taverns right along the bike path.

    Day 8: Departure from Passau
    As you cruise back up the Danube, enjoy the early morning sunshine as you wind your way to Passau, where you'll disembark at approximately 11:00 am. Connecting travel should be booked after 12:00 pm.

    Optional excursion programs (bookable on board, not included in the tour package):

    • Bratislava city tour with scenic train and walking tour
    • Budapest city tour by bike or Hop-On-Hop-Off bus
    • Vienna city tour by bike or bus
    • Classical waltz and operetta concert in one of Vienna's famous palaces
    • Wachau wine tasting with local wine grower

      What an awesome trip!

      This was our first bike and barge tour and it didn't disappoint! We found that we prefer it to regular river cruising. The tour was very well organized, the bikes were always ready and in great condition. The balance of cycling vs site seeing was perfect for us. We loved it so much that we plan to return next year!

      Danube Waltz

      The bike and barge (SS Swiss Crown) provided the perfect way to experience the beautiful cities along the Danube. The Swiss Crown was very comfortable and the meals provided were delightful. The bar was managed expertly. Phyo behind the bar was always willing to provide valuable tips for our travel as well as keeping the cocktails flowing.

      AMAZING! Better than I even imagined it would be.

      This was our first ever bike trip and we loved every minute of it. The boat was wonderful and the staff was truly outstanding. Each day was well organized with enough structure so we knew what to do but enough freedom to make the trip our own. The rides each day were unique from each other and each one beautiful. The rest days in Budpest and Vienna were magical. The food, service and attention to detail left nothing to be desired. What an amazing trip.

      Danube bike and boat

      It was a great trip! We biked through the most scenic countryside, passing vineyards, old castles, and small villages. Of course all of that with the beautiful Danube by our side.

      The crew on the Swiss Crown was extremely friendly and very accommodating.

      We enjoyed lots of great views from the boat. We especially enjoyed sitting on the upper deck of boat or on our cabin balcony in the evening.

      The meals were great. Starting the morning with the breakfast buffet or a freshly made omelette. For dinner, you had your choice of entrees including regional dishes.

      Relaxed ride along the Danube River

      We enjoyed the structure of the tour, with 3-4 hours of riding per day and details on the many sights to see along the way. Onboard service and meals were excellent, and the boat had a nice mix of people from all over the world. We also liked the time to explore several cities on non-ride days.

      Great Trip

      This was a perfect way to see parts of Austria, Hungary, Germany, Slovakia. Everything is very well organized and there is the freedom to leave the boat and cycle at own pace following the well laid out bike trails. The food on the boat was very good, staff were very courteous and always helpful, and our room was clean. We added extra time to our trip in Vienna because there is so much to see. Would also be a good idea for Budapest. Even though we had a considerable amount of rain and some flooding on our trails it was still a great adventure and enjoyable trip. Our boat was recently renovated and that was a bonus.

    • ★★★★★ Jaime Bodden August 3, 2022

      Fairytale in Bavaria

      A great tour! Equal parts countryside with quaint villages and urban culture with metropolitan experiences. Our tour packed in a lot - each day provided a unique experience and bike ride, from forests to fields, riverside and city streets. The recommendations from out boat guide encouraged frequent stops to enjoy local gems - something that is often lacking on bigger tours. The timing in between stops never felt rushed, and there was a nice balance of being on the boat and off.

      Magical!!

      The best ever bike tour!! We biked some of the most beautiful sections of the Danube and we also had other excursions plus the activities on the boat. The Sun deck was lovely - what a treat after biking to sit up there and watch the pastoral sights go by! The food was really good. I am lactose intolerant and the chef always had an alternative for me - even with the multiple course meals. Thank for Biketours.com for finding this fantastic tour!

      I want to do this again and again!

      Rides were well chosen; route booklet detailed; food, service and staff on boat all excellent. Varied terrain of forest, towns, vineyards made for interesting biking. Europe knows how to accommodate bikers; RadReisen knows how to cater to them. Fab trip.

      New favorite way to travel

      Loved the trip - The boat was very nice and provided constantly changing scenery without having to pack up and move every day. The bikes were perfect for the situation and well maintained. We enjoyed the bike days much more than the two city days - a great way to sightsee, especially when the temps got hot. Also really appreciated that nearly all of the bike riding was on dedicated trails.

      Fun trip

      All in all, a great trip. Some communication issues between cruise director and guides and cyclists. Cruise director clearly overwhelmed and attimes, Difficult To Follow. Bike was very comfortable and routes, interesting and scenic. Having trouble adding photos.
