Overview

Your day finishes with a trip to Melk’s impressive Benedictine monastery – Melk Abbey – before returning to Vienna.

Q: Will I get seasick on Wachau Valley Private Tour With Melk Abbey Visit and Wine Tastings from Vienna?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
