There is a lot going on around the 300th birthday of Empress Maria Theresa this year. On land and on the water - more precisely on the Danube. The new S.S. Maria Theresia has been underway for a few days now. And it is an ultra-luxurious river cruiser with four decks and suites measuring up to 40 m2. While the exterior of the ship, which can accommodate 150 passengers and 57 crew members, looks almost futuristic, the interior is a sparkling (nightmare) dream in neo-baroque style. Marble, gold leaf, velvet and silk - as a guest, you feel like you are in a floating Schönbrunn Palace - Habsburg salon, Hofburg deck and Lipizzan lounge included. Would Maria Theresa have enjoyed this ship? Hm, perhaps. After all, she was considered an enthusiastic amateur architect, of whom Count Podewils once reported: "She enjoyed building without understanding anything about it, as the house she had built to her taste in Schönbrunn testifies."
If you would like to see for yourself, you can now join the S.S. Maria Theresia on Danube cruises, usually lasting from one week to ten days. Bookable from 2,799 euros per person at www.uniworld.com
