Farm-to-Table Gastronomy

For years we have sourced all our fresh produce, herbs and freshwater fish from local farmers, many of whose families have been cultivating the soil along the banks of the Danube for generations. Our shared commitment to sustainability, family and personal connection makes us proud to support these farms – guaranteeing fresh and flavorful ingredients while reducing the distance each item travels to our ships. Incorporating the highest quality seasonal ingredients, such as Marchfeld asparagus in the spring and Wachau Valley apricots in summer, our expert chefs bring the taste of the country from the fields, orchards, farms and docks to your plate at every meal.
