Danube Boat Services

|
The DDSG (Erste Donau-Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft; First Danube Steamer Company), one of the oldest shipping companies in the world, was founded in 1829 in Vienna. In 1834 the first DDSG steamer reached the Black Sea, three years later regular services had been established between Regensburg and the Danube delta. Today, as the national Austrian Danube shipping company, the DDSG operates a fleet of passenger ships, a number of which are equipped with cabins. A hovercraft between Vienna and Budapest provides a faster service.
Among the traffic crossing the border between Germany and Austria are the boats (from May to September) from Passau to Linz and Passau to Vienna. It is possible to make the outward journey by boat and return by bus or train or vice versa. Within Austria itself there are excursions from Linz to Vienna and from Vienna to the Wachau. The excursions often feature a program on board (dancing) or walks ashore (town tours and visits; visits to festivals and musical events; in Dürnstein a visit to a typical Wachau cellar completes the tour of the town). Another route between Germany and Austria follows the Rhine-Main-Danube waterway from Nuremburg to Vienna.
