Krems

Port Krems on the Danube stands apart from other Danube ports by turning a historic town into a seamless step from ship to story, where UNESCO-listed streets meet wine-lit experiences and crafts. On arrival, guests are greeted by Old Krems, the Art Mile, and Museum Krems, all within easy strolling distance, making every call feel intimate rather than hurried. Signature experiences center on Wachau Valley terroir: private cellar tastings, crisp Grüner Veltliner and Riesling flights, and guided walks to Dürnstein's medieval tower with river views. Close by, Melk Abbey and Göttweig offer day-trip anchors, while the town's monasteries, squares, and bodegas provide authentic culinary and cultural stops. The port itself is designed for river ships with generous promenades, panoramic lounges, and efficient embarkation, reflecting the fleet's preference for smaller, boutique vessels that emphasize connection over crowding. Onboard services echo this ethos: regionally inspired menus, expert local guides for shore excursions, spa and wellness options, and seamless wifi and concierge services that keep guests immersed in the Wachau's rhythm even at sea. Krems thus delivers a distinctive blend of heritage, gastronomy, and air of refinement that sets it apart from other Danube stops.
