Strauss & Magic & Cruise

My name is Cheng and I have been working as a receptionist at Austria Classic Hotel Vienna since the beginning of July 2024. Vienna offers so many shows and interesting activities and I have visited 3 of them for you, dear guests. I am happy to share my experience with you.

The Strauss Dinner Show in the Prater

The Strauss Dinner Show takes place in an exquisite location - the Mirage, in the heart of Vienna's Prater. This event promises not only an unforgettable experience, but also a culinary journey through Austrian cuisine, accompanied by a delicious 4-course menu, which is also available in a vegetarian version.

The evening is hosted by a charming and humorous presenter, whose wit and warmth create an entertaining atmosphere. A highlight of the evening is the impressive performance by the renowned “Johann Strauss Philharmonic” orchestra, which enchants guests with classical music. In addition, outstanding soprano singers and world-famous conductors delight the audience with their virtuoso performances.

The Strauss Dinner Show is therefore not only a tribute to Johann Strauss, but also a fascinating journey back in time to the golden age of Viennese music. The table was lovingly set and the atmosphere was simply romantic.

I enjoyed the classic menu, which began with a delicious beef tartare as an appetizer, followed by a tender Wiener schnitzel. To top it off, I was treated to a dessert variation on the étagère, which included apple strudel, punch doughnuts and Sacher petits fours. That evening, both my palate and my ears were spoiled in the best possible way.

Magic World Vienna

In July 2024, Magic World Vienna will open a unique magical theater world in the heart of Vienna's Prater, directly on Riesenradplatz. The variety of international artists is unparalleled in Europe. With shows from all genres of magic and for all ages, we ensure that Vienna and its visitors laugh and marvel! In 2023, Anca and Lucca drew up a detailed business plan, applied for funding and won an investor in the Puls 4 program “2 Minuten - 2 Millionen”.

On August 11, I had the opportunity to visit Magic World Vienna in the heart of Vienna's Prater. Until September 8, 2024, the Summer Festival will take place there, where well-known magic artists from all over the world will perform. Among them is the Ukrainian illusionist Yevgeniy Voronin, who is known from the Palazzo, where he performs as the Undead Count. His mysterious demeanor and appearance perfectly match the magical atmosphere of Magic World Vienna.

The show lasts 100 minutes and includes a short break where you can fortify yourself at the buffet before the program continues. The second half of the show was particularly exciting and captivating, as Anca & Lucca took the audience into the world of mental magic. I can't say exactly how this works, but it definitely gave me goosebumps.

An interesting side note: Anca & Lucca guarantee a notarized payment of 1,000,000 dollars if they ever break their promise. This ensures that there are no electronics, secret helpers or collusion involved.

For all magic fans, this show is highly recommended. Also, those who have been intrigued by this blog post should take a look at the website, as there are several shows planned for the coming months. I would like to thank Mr. Chevreski once again for the invitation - it was a wonderful evening!

Sunset BBQ Cruise on the MS Kaiserin Elisabeth

An evening full of enjoyment and music

Experience an unforgettable evening on the MS Kaiserin Elisabeth with the DDSG's Sunset BBQ Cruise theme cruise.

This takes place every Wednesday until September 18, 2024. The cruise starts at the Vienna / Reichsbrücke boat station and takes you upstream along the impressive “skyline of modern Vienna”. Passing the Donauplatte, the Danube Tower and the Millennium Tower, you can enjoy a breathtaking view as the sun sets over the city. The route takes you to the Greifenstein lock, where the ship turns around and returns to the Vienna / Reichsbrücke boat station.

During the trip, you can enjoy a sumptuous buffet with delicious grilled specialties, which is included in the price of €79 per person. There is also a cocktail bar on the sun deck, where drinks are charged separately. The evening will be accompanied by music from Caroline Kreuzberger, who has been captivating audiences with her expressive voice since her participation in “The Voice” in 2011, where she came third.

My conclusion: It was a really nice evening with the family. The food was good and there was plenty of choice at the buffet - there really was something to suit everyone. I was lucky with the weather, as it was still foggy on the way there, but the evening cleared up. It's a special experience that you absolutely have to do once. I will definitely try another themed cruise in the future, because I love the feeling of being on the water.

I hope you enjoy our beautiful city!
Yours
Cheng
