Breakfast on board followed by an optional guided tour of Schoenbrun Castle, former summer residence of the Imperial family. With its 40 rooms of imperial apartments this residence bears witness to the splendour of life at the time of Marie Therese. Return on board for lunch. In the afternoon perhaps enjoy the optional visit to Vienna. The Imperial City for more than six centuries, Vienna is regarded as the hallmark of the Habsburgs. This city particularly owes its charm to its monuments, with memories of the Hapsburg era, its many museums and it famous Operas. The Christmas markets simply add to its charm.
