Home » Vienna

Budget Hydrofoil Cruise

The cheapest way to get to Vienna riverway is to use the once state owned ship company: only the Hungarian Mahartpassnave runs hydrofoils between Budapest and Vienna. Hydrofoils are not ships, you cannot get on the open deck. Instead, they are closed waterway vehicles, noisier than ships. But these cheap cruises run every day.
