On this captivating cruise, enjoy an exceptional piano show. You can plunge into the great atmosphere of the event with a perfect performance thanks to brilliant pianists and a fantastic, charming vocalist. Only the best and most famous romantic and entertaining melodies are heard throughout the show.

Every day, a nice melody-infused Danube cruise sets sail. There is heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer.

Taste a three — or six-course menu while enjoying the amazing landscapes of Budapest’s most beautiful places from the Danube. The romantic music cruise is three hours long.

Take unforgettable emotions to the Piano Battle Show. It is a fascinating performance with good humor and a positive mood. Sometimes, our delightful hostess translates some fun or painfully moving melodies. 

Where are we going?

Landing time starts at 7 p.m. The point of departure is at dock number 11. Jane Haining Rakpart, Budapest, near the Elisabeth Bridge. Marvel at local landmarks from another perspective; explore Chain Bridge and Margaret Bridge, Liberty Bridge, Petfi Bridge, and Rákóczi Bridge on the way down the river. Afterward, discover all the Budapest attractions between Margaret Island and the Rákóczy Bridge, like the Parliament, the Matthias Church, the Buda Castle, and the Gellért Hill.

What does the menu include?

At the time of the live piano show, taste an exclusive dinner of three or six delicious meals.

If you arrive early, you will not be bored because the piano music begins during boarding time. Right after sending, the singer will join the team and present the program of the evening. Relax and have a good time in the romantic atmosphere and choose delightful dishes from the menu, of course.

First a perfect sunset, then dusk and later the lights of the magnificent buildings on both sides of the Danube. Our (first) stay in Budapest could not have started better! If you book the piano battle, you sit in the upper, smaller dining room of the ship, where there are only two rows of tables. Each table is therefore right next to the window, which can be opened. We liked the music (pop music) and the two pianists played very well. The three-course menu, which offered the option of choosi...

wonderful music and view, food ok, service ok. We paid 30 extra euros to have a table by the window but in the piano Battle room all tables are by the window so we were really upset about this. Also, people who book a 2 courses dinner are served food only after 6 courses people have finished their first two courses, which means you can get really hangry.

The boat trip was nice, highlighted by the fact they stopped for as we were running a few minutes late. Service was good, the lady singing had an amazing voice and if you like piano tunes, you'll enjoy. We had the unlimited drinks, includes house wine (which was btw pretty good!), beer, softdrinks. Views along the river are spectacular, of course. We'd recommend.

We had a great time. The Show was fantastic. The singer has a beautiful voice and George is a fantastic player as his piano partner. The food could be slightly improved on the taste. Wine selection included in the package was good and the service was very good. Our waiters were very kind. I would do it again!

I took one star off for the coordination. We were not on the list, which caused some issues. Besides that, this is a definite recommendation if you have time. Budapest at night on the river is beautiful!!! We got the drink option which they did bring us through out the cruise

Exactly what I thought it would be if not better! the restaurant/ main area was really lovely, had a lovely atmosphere and the food was good, just the right portion size for 4 courses and the duck we chose for the main course was really delicious. The piano music throughout the meal was great - The paino battle was cheesy but that was all part of the fun. The staff were really helpful, friendly and attentive and overall we really enjoyed our night

We had a good evening on this river cruise. The service was attentive and friendly. The view of Budapest is lovely - I imagine it's better in the summer with longer day light hours and better visibility. The pianists and the singers were entertaining, providing gentle background music. The food wasn't exceptional, don't expect fine dining, but nevertheless tasty.

Unfortunately, there were a few people sitting at the next table who were very loud and made it difficult to enjoy the great music. From the half it was really great. There were just no comments on the piano game as described. But it's worth it just for the view and the great lighting of the buildings. And also the food was very tasty and the staff and the musicians were great.
