Details

This cruise combines dinner, live music, and evening sightseeing, with the focus clearly on the onboard experience rather than quiet views. The atmosphere is active and social, shaped by musicians performing throughout the boat and a shared dining setup that keeps things moving. It works best after dark, when Budapest’s illuminated riverbanks create the strongest visual moments—earlier evening departures tend to feel more rewarding. The food is filling but fairly standard, and expectations are safest when you treat dinner as part of the evening, not the main highlight. Seating, service pace, and visibility can vary depending on arrival time and how full the boat is.

The cruise takes place aboard the Gróf (Count) Széchényi. From the river, admire views of the Parliament building, Chain Bridge, Buda Castle, and the Citadel. Live music is performed by members of the award-winning Rajkó Folk Orchestra, featuring a selection of Hungarian and international pieces, with the option to request a song for your group.

menu will be table serviced:
— A served bowl of goulash with mini lángos. (Vegetarian soup substitute available.)
— Welcome drink upon arrival (Prosecco or juice)

Loved every second! The atmosphere was great, the tables were lovely, the food was absolutely fresh, tasty and plentiful and the musicians entertained in every genre with great repertoire. Thank you, we loved it

It was a 2 hours cruise with food. The food that they served were delicious and very Hungarian. We didn't know the dishes name until we went to a restaurant the next day. Surprisingly even though they were serving the buffet style, it tastes better than the restaurant that we went. The live violin music was quite irritating maybe I didn't like classical music.

The cruise was lovely and the food not too bad. I’d read some bad reviews about this cruise, the service, and the food but to be honest, I was quite happy with all of it. Entertainment was great too, very talented musicians., If possible I would probably pay extra next time to be sure to get a table near the windows. Also, in the summer, I would do the later cruise to get better photos of the lights. meeting point information could be a more detailed. I would recommend this cruise.
