Mauthausen

Mauthausen is a possible stopover on Danube cruises. On some trips, the docking location may instead be Enns; the two towns are on opposite banks of the Danube and do not share the same landing stage. A 2026 itinerary published for the MS Classica lists Mauthausen as a port of call and notes that, depending on availability, the ship may dock in Enns instead.

Danube Promenade and town centre

The Mauthausen landing stage is on Bundesstraße 3, near Pragstein Castle. The regional tourism office describes it as centrally located on the Danube Promenade, just a few steps from the town centre. The promenade, castle and town are therefore the obvious destinations for a short visit right by the landing stage. For longer outings, the actual time in port is what matters; this depends on the ship’s itinerary.

Ferry to Enns for cyclists

The Ennsegg bicycle ferry connects Mauthausen with Enns and St. Pantaleon. It is a separate way to cross the river and should not be confused with the cruise landing stage. The city of Enns’ seasonal information gives 1 May as the start of the 2026 season and lists a seasonal timetable. Anyone wishing to cross to the other side of the Danube from Mauthausen should therefore take the ferry and its operating hours into account when planning.
