Vienna sightseeing by boat

Hi! I am trying to find a riverboat company in Vienna that offers short (30-60minute) sightseeing cruises of Vienna. Does anyone know of any? Thanks!

Why? Vienna is not like Paris which is bisected by the Seine and has many of its important monuments (Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre-Dame, etc) along the river. Look at a map of Vienna and you will see that a bus tour along the Ringstrasse might offer a better introduction to the city than a sightseeing cruise on the river.

Strongly suggest you get a MAP of Vienna, identify what you want to see - and then figure out where those things are in relation to the river (which is more of a canal there).

For a scenic boat trip you can take the train from Vienna to Melk, hop on the boat at Melk then stop at Duernstein on the way to Krems, then bus to Krems.
