Book the day
A day, a fare, how many travellers. Nothing is charged here.
A departure is open or it is sold out — the coach and the boat are the operator’s, so we do not count their seats and nothing on this page runs on a clock. The basket shows every line with its own refund date before anything is paid.
Where the day starts
Schwedenplatz quay, Franz-Josefs-Kai, 1010 Wien. The Danube Canal quay at Schwedenplatz, where the Twin City Liner catamaran leaves for Bratislava.
Schwedenplatz (U1, U4) is at the top of the steps; the quay is on the canal below the square.
A meeting point, not a room — boarding closes before departure.
The meeting point and the departure time are printed on your confirmation and on your e-ticket.

No — it is one way, which is how the operator sells it. If you are coming back the same day, book the return sailing as a second line and we will put both on one order.
How long does the crossing take?

Seventy-five minutes, from Schwedenplatz in Vienna to the old town quay in Bratislava. It is quicker than the train and you can walk into the old town from the boat.
What is the fuel surcharge?

The operator charges €3 a ticket on top of the fare, and €5 for a dog or a bicycle. It is theirs, not ours, and we would rather name it here than surprise you with it.
