Vienna - Danube Boat Trip

[echokilo]

I am looking to see which Danube canal and river boat trip is the best to do when I visit the city shortly - and can anyone tell me which websites to use ...... all I can fine is bus and boat tours and longer cruises ..... TIA

how long do you want, exactly? You could do a cruise to Bratislava in a hydrofoil. Or are you just looking for a dinner cruise?

It appears that you've not found the official website for the city:

In particular, this page should point you in the right direction:

I was out there a couple of years ago and did the canal/river trip you are proposing. I think that there is only one operator running the boats.

The trip follows a circular route with pick ups/stops on the canal (about a mile from Vienna city centre) and again on the main part of the river. From memory, the complete circuit takes around 3 hours. The boats provide a bar and restaurant service – but I can’t say that the scenery is that inspiring. However the hydro-electric barrier across the Danube impressed me – as we passed through the lock, we were joined by one of the enormous commercial barges that ply the river. There is a further smaller lock bringing you back on the canal.

I don’t know of any web sites to the operator. I can’t remember the price of a ticket, but recall it being recommended to me as a bargain price (for the trip).

My advice would be to check out the likes of Trip Advisor for more information.
