Wachau Valley to Vienna

Constructed at the Vahali Shipyards in Serbia, Spirit of the Danube was built in 2022 and set sail on her inaugural cruise in the same year. Using their three decades of experience in the cruise industry, Saga designed Spirit of the Danube with our customers in mind. She has four passenger decks, can accommodate 172 passengers and is one of the most eco-friendly ships on the European waterways.

Over 75% of Spirit of the Danube’s cabins have French balconies, looking out from the Middle and Upper decks. With floor-to-ceiling windows, they offer personal, private views of every destination. Cabins on the Lower deck are smaller and feature a small picture window, so they also have natural light. All are equipped with a flat-screen television, a Bluetooth speaker with USB, tea and coffee-making facilities, a small fridge, hairdryer, telephone, safe, seating area bathrobes and slippers.

The large sun deck at the top of the ship is the perfect place to relax as you glide from one riverside gem to another. Admire the ever-changing view from a sun lounger or even from the hot tub and enjoy waiter-served drinks and deck games. Inside, the Belvedere Lounge offers a light, sociable space where you can relax and watch the passing scenery through panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. Other facilities include a small but well-stocked library, a bar and gym.

Spirit of the Danube offers freshly prepared menus using local ingredients. Buffet breakfasts, lunch and dinner are waiter-served in the Panorama restaurant. Guests may dine in the more intimate Delta speciality restaurant at no extra cost.

With Saga, your holiday starts a few hours earlier. Your own private chauffeur will pick you up from your door, so you can sit back and relax. They'll be there to meet you when you return to the UK, too.
