The destinations connected by Mauthausen’s itineraries read like a curated map of the Danube Valley: the baroque grandeur of Melk Abbey on a sweeping bend, the medieval charm of Dürnstein, and the vine-clad terraces of Spitz and Krems, all complemented by easy day trips to Linz’s museums and market squares. The port’s fleet features emphasize comfort and quiet sustainability: low-wake hulls, hybrid propulsion options, and elegant onboard spaces designed for conversation and relaxation. Onboard services reinforce the experience, with gourmet dining curated by resident chefs, enrichment programs led by wine and history experts, expansive Wi-Fi coverage, 24/7 concierge assistance, and seamless shore excursion planning that makes every day feel tailored to you.
