Music & Opera in Imperial Vienna With RTÉ lyric fm ‘Marty In The Morning’ Celebrating the 200th birthday of the Waltz King, Johann Strauss II 4-nights, departing 30 November 2025

Join IFC and Marty Whelan, beloved presenter of RTÉ lyric fm ‘Marty in the Morning’, for an unforgettable journey to Vienna — the glittering heart of classical music — during the magical Christmas season.

Set along the beautiful Danube, Vienna is a city steeped in elegance, history, and world-class culture. From its grand palaces and historic streets to its charming cafés and festive Christmas markets, Vienna captures the spirit of old-world Europe like no other destination. For centuries, this city has been at the centre of the musical world. It was home to legendary composers such as Schubert, Strauss, Schoenberg, and Berg, while Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Brahms, and Mahler chose to live and create here. Today, Vienna remains a pilgrimage site for music lovers across the globe.

2025 will see the 200th birthday of the Waltz King, Johann Strauss II. His queen is Vienna, the world capital of music, making this a special year to visit Vienna.  There’s no better place to honour his legacy than the city that inspired him — Vienna, the undisputed world capital of music.  2025 isn’t just a great year to visit Vienna — it’s the year to go.
