As the leading operator of passenger ship moorings along the Danube, we combine port operations, high service quality, and sustainability. For decades, we have been shaping Vienna’s most important moorings and port areas – from the Shipping Center at Reichsbrücke and the Vienna City ship station to Marina Wien.
As a company of Wien Holding GmbH, we provide a reliable, modern, and environmentally responsible foundation for international shipping as well as for leisure and tourism activities on the water. Through technical innovation, efficient space management, and strong operational expertise, we set new standards in port operations.
Donauraum Vienna stands for professional processes, safe and modern berths, and a future-ready shipping infrastructure at the heart of a vibrant metropolitan city.
“We create the framework for the infrastructural and sustainable development of passenger shipping in Vienna. Our ports and ship moorings are places of encounter for guests from around the world. Wiener Donauraum connects urban life in the heart of Vienna with a distinctive nautical flair.”
Dr. Thomas Eduard Reichstädter, Mag. Elisabeth Schwarzinger, DI Sandra Vogler
