Brigitte Heller from LUXUSREISEN SCHWEIZ / LUXURY TRAVEL SWITZERLAND personally visited the royal river cruise ship S.S. Maria Theresa (S.S. = Super Ship) from UNIWORLD and experienced the 7-day trip.
The luxurious river cruise vessel boasts a design resembling the opulence of Viennas Schönbrunn Palace and the Hofburg City Palace well as the Belvedere Palace.
Maria Theresa was born in 1717. Passed away in 1780 while residing in these grand palaces alongside her 16 children. She hailed from the Habsburg lineage and initially held the title of a princess before becoming Empress through her marriage, to Emperor Franz I.
Budapest to Passau – the most beautiful river cruise in my life
We travelled from the city of Budapest in Hungary aboard the S.S Maria Theresa towards Passau situated at the convergence of the Danube River with the Inn and Il River in Germanys corner where we explored various cities like Bratislava and Vienna before making stops at Dürnstein,Melk,Linz,Mondsee and Salzburg along, with our final destination Prague.
This journey aboard the enchanting Super Ship “S.S Maria Theresa” was the exquisite river cruise I’ve ever enjoyed in my life so far! Over the decade I’ve embarked upon a total of 58 cruises. Including 16 river cruises and 42 ocean voyages. Exploring the waters aboard these “floating hotels’ both along rivers and, across oceans has truly been a highlight of my vacation experiences. My heart truly belongs to indulging in luxury tours through Switzerland. It’s a passion of mine that knows no bounds.
After the 7-day river cruise, a private luxury tour with your personal tour guide Brigitte Heller through paradisiacal Switzerland offers unforgettable and unique experiences that will be remembered for a lifetime. Immerse yourself in the world of first-class comfortable travel on the rivers of Europe and marvel at the world-famous mountains in Switzerland.
