In the municipality of Melk, passengers await a new sales point of Austria’s largest and most traditional shipping company that offers even shorter ways and faster service and is the central information point for the shipping company.
Due to the flood of the century in September 2024, there were serious damage to the Dürnstein ship station. Due to the close cooperation between the state of Lower Austria, DDSG Blue Danube and Donaustations Lower Austria, the ship station has been able to be used again in the past few months and now on time at the beginning of the season. The shipping company owned by Verkehrbuero and Vienna Holding supports the heating of the repaired pontoons that we have around 20 tons (jetty 20). Due to the excellent cooperation of all organizations, the DDSG Blue Danube can offer the full program in the UNESCO World Heritage Region Wachau during the Easter holidays and the current apricot blossom.
“The Wachau is one of the most popular tourism destinations in the country, especially in spring. The consequences of the century flood were challenging for the entire region. Due to the close and partnership -based cooperation of all entrepreneurs as well as tourism and with the support of the state of Lower Austria, the excursion shipping has been back on course since the beginning of April. The blooming of the apricots is in new ways this year for the entire Wachau”
so governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner.
“Only through the great willingness to help and close cooperation between business, politics and tourism does the Wachau return back into normal operation at Easter. The MS Austria, MS Dürnstein and MS Wachau resolve again several times a day in milk and Krems on the river”
says DDSG-Blue-Danube managing director Wolfgang Fischer.
