ÜFEX airport express to Regensburg, then taxi
- Go to the airport train station between Terminals 1 and 2.

- Take a taxi to your dock.
No change of train needed on the ÜFEX.

Easiest.
From the city or your hotel
Walk or taxi from the old town
The Viking dock is on Marc-Aurel-Ufer, near the old town.
Where to stay
Arrive a day or two early. A delayed flight on sailing day is the most common way travelers miss the ship.
Regensburg old town (UNESCO)
Walk to the river.
Sailing day
Terminals & docks
Viking lists Marc-Aurel-Ufer 5, 93047 Regensburg. Your line sends the exact dock.
Check-in
- River ships usually start boarding in the afternoon. AmaWaterways says boarding usually begins around 3:00 p.m., and you can drop bags earlier.
- Uniworld says to confirm your boarding address and boarding time 24 hours before you arrive.
- River docks can change at short notice. Confirm the dock address with your line the day before.
What trips people up
- Low water: in fall 2026 Viking (Sept 30 notice), AmaWaterways (Oct 2026) and Uniworld all reported low water on parts of the Danube, Rhine and Main. Fixes include ship swaps, bus legs, or a different boarding town. Your line will contact you if your cruise changes.
Do this
- Stay a night in the old town before boarding; it is small and walkable.
Leaving the ship: back to the airport
The same routes run in reverse. On the last morning everyone leaves at once, so lines for taxis and buses are at their longest. Book flights home for the afternoon or later, and arrange your ride in advance if you can.
