SALZBURG BOAT CRUISE - EXPLORE SALZBURG FROM THE RIVER
Experience Salzburg´s Old Town and surroundings from another perspective!
From 1st April to 29th October, the Panorama boat “Amadeus Salzburg” offers you a sightseeing tour in a class of its own! Marvel at the city of Mozart from the river.
In earlier times, salt (Salz in German) was transported by boat along the river to the city, thereby giving the River Salzach its name. The last ship to cruise on the river was closed in 1891 due to shallow water and weak engines. More than a century later, and since the year 2002 it is possible to cruise along the river.

The “Amadeus Salzburg” is a modern boat with seats for up to 80 passengers (including the outside deck) and has a draught of only 38 cm. The unique design with large windows allow for the magnificent panoramic view. The engines produce 1085 HP and allow the ship to reach speeds of 50 kmh.
