Returning to the ship

The Vienna cruise port Nussdorf, a popular starting point for river cruises, is well connected to the transport network and easy to reach thanks to its location in the north of Vienna. Although direct access to the terminal for private cars is prohibited, efficient park-and-ride options and excellent connections to local public transport ensure a relaxed journey. The port has several berths; you can find the exact numbering in your travel documents.

Car

Although traveling by private car directly to the Vienna-Nussdorf pier is prohibited by the port operator, you can reach the area via Heiligenstädter Straße or the B14. A city-wide short-term parking zone also applies throughout the urban area of Vienna. A recommended alternative for long-term parkers is the Park & Ride Spittelau (Spittelauer Lände 12, 1090 Vienna), from where you can comfortably continue with tram line D to the Nussdorfer Platz stop. From there, the pier is just a few minutes' walk away.

Train

The nearest train station is Wien Nußdorf, which is only about 570 meters south of the ship's pier. Regional trains and the S40 S-Bahn line stop here. From Nußdorf station, you can reach the pier after an approximately ten-minute walk through an underpass and along the Treppelweg path. There are good connections from Vienna Main Station (Hauptbahnhof) by S-Bahn and U-Bahn, for example with the U4 to Heiligenstadt and then with tram line D or bus 239 to Nussdorfer Platz.

Airplane

Vienna-Schwechat Airport (VIE) is the nearest international airport and is about 24 minutes by taxi from the Nussdorf port. Numerous taxi and airport transfer services are available at the airport for a quick transfer. Alternatively, you can reach Nussdorf affordably by public transport, for example with a combination of bus line 901 and tram line D. The City Airport Train (CAT) also offers a fast non-stop connection to Vienna city center (Wien Mitte), from where you can easily reach Nussdorf by U-Bahn and tram. For longer journeys, a pre-cruise overnight stay in a Vienna hotel is recommended to start your cruise in a relaxed manner.

Check-in & Embarkation

Please note that your travel documents usually include a fixed time slot for check-in, which is mandatory for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for your journey to the port and take into account that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination area - is usually scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.

The same applies during the journey: for shore excursions, you should be back on board at least one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the current announcements as well as the notices on board, as mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
