Vienna becomes the hub of the river cruises: Expo inspires visitors!
The Danube cruise is booming: Today the AStA River Cruise Expo was opened in Vienna, the first of its kind in the Austrian capital. Around 1,500 tour operators flock to the Viecon Center and the Donaumaum Vienna shipping center to find out more about the latest trends and offers in the industry. Vienna, often considered one of the main targets for river cruises between metropolises such as Budapest and Bratislava, continues to position itself as an attractive destination with unique landscapes and first -class comfort on board. According to Vienna Holding, over 380,000 passengers were already welcomed in 2024 - that is 8% more than in the previous year, which illustrates the growing popularity, such as press.wien.gv.at reports.

In order to meet the need for suitable infrastructures, the Donaumaum Vienna shipping center was built around the Reich Bridge and offers a state -of -the -art person in the heart of the city. Vienna Holding Managing Director Kurt Gollowitzer is optimistic about the 2025 cruise season and emphasizes that the city plays a central role due to its unique location on the Danube. "The Danube cruise has developed into an increasingly popular travel trend," says Gollowitzer. The importance of congress tourism is also emphasized because it generates more than 350,000 overnight stays only for events this year, and thus also drives the city's economy.
As part of the fair at the Viecon Center, visitors not only experience a diverse conference program, but can also visit cruise ships directly. This opportunity to gain knowledge of the ships and destinations strengthens the position of travel consultants and helps to market Vienna even better as a destination. The organizing travel experts of the American Society of Travel Advisors (AStA) see great potential in the Danube and its historical wealth and emphasize that a river trip in Vienna combines both cultural and modern elements, as from the report of en.wikipedia.org ).
