The procession, scheduled for Saturday, September 20th, 2025, promises a memorable experience for devotees.
The event will begin at 7:30 AM with embarkation on the MS Admiral Tegethoff DDSG Blue Danube, located at Handelskai 265, 1020 Vienna. The four-and-a-half-hour cruise will provide a serene setting for a special Mass celebrated onboard.

The procession is expected to conclude at 12:00 PM (noon) with disembarkation.
Tickets for the Upper Deck are priced at €25 and are still available. Devotees can purchase or reserve tickets after Mass at the Filipino Catholic Chaplaincy or by contacting them through their Facebook page. Organizers wish to remind participants that bringing outside food and drinks on board is prohibited.
