At each stage of your cruise, you’ll be able to enjoy the jewels of Austria: you’ll begin your excursion with a visit to Mirabell Castle, whose breathtaking gardens form a harmonious and prodigiously beautiful ensemble: with its flowerbeds, statues and rose garden, Mirabell Castle will win you over in no time.
The city of genius
But Salzburg wouldn’t be Salzburg without the still palpable presence of the musical genius of the late 18th century, Mozart himself. Salzburg is in fact his birthplace, and you’ll be able to discover many of the places associated with the composer, such as the Mozarteum, Mozart Square with its statue of the famous composer, and the Mozart House. Thanks to your private guide, you’ll learn all about his life and work, as well as a whole host of fascinating anecdotes.

Salzburg is brimming with nuggets to be searched, found and supplied along the streets. First, there are the well-known monuments like Hellbrunn Palace, Nonnberg Abbey, Siegmunds Gate and the Puppet Theater.
The Lake District
During your cruise on Lake Wolfgang, how can you miss the mountainous Salzkammergut region, the summer resort of the Austrian royal family? Discover these superb Upper Austrian landscapes while enjoying a cup of coffee and some typical cookies.
There’s also the village of St. Gilgen, the birthplace of Mozart’s mother, with a possible 25-minute boat trip to another place, St. Wolfgang, home to a fantastic Gothic-inspired hotel. Then, on your way back to Salzburg, why not stop for a few minutes to admire the famous Huttenstein castle and the Krottensee and Mondsee lakes? The breathtaking mountain scenery will leave a lasting impression on your memory. A unique souvenir. It’s best to take your cruise on Lake Wolfgang during the summer months (May to October).
A unique tour to discover the charms of one of Austria’s most beautiful regions.
