From guided walking tours, interactive discoveries, to traditional sightseeing, we offer a wide range of possibilities for travelers with varying interests and for all energy and fitness levels. Let your travels reflect your preferences, passions and dreams.

Active Excursions

Whether you enjoy sightseeing by bike or on your own two feet, you’ll relish the energy of the AMADEUS Active excursion collection. Climb on a bike and set off on a guided tour along the famous Danube Cycle Path in Vienna. You can also venture on a nature hike near the Landshut Castle ruins by Bernkastel or follow the scenic route from Linz to the Pöstlingberg.

Discovery Excursions

If you‘re a wine connoisseur or avid foodie, let us awaken your senses from one delicious moment to the next. Enjoy a visit to the ”Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse“ or an oyster tasting in Veere in the Netherlands. Sip world-class wines while enjoying stunning scenery on the Moselle River, in the Rheingau (Rhine district), or the picturesque Austrian valley, the Wachau. Spend time in the Small Carpathian wine region, enjoying scenery as memorable as the wines.

Classic Excursions

Our classic excursions put you in the story with timeless tales on guided tours in iconic cities and sights. Join a historical walking tour along the alleys of cobblestoned villages or spend an afternoon in ancient castle halls. Skip the lines while your heart skips a beat in the rooms where history happened.

Our Excursion Packages

Our excursion packages are designed to offer you the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and cultural highlights. For every cruise we offer up to 4 different excursion packages, which you can book in advance at a reduced price.
