Details

Enjoy a refined dinner buffet as you cruise along the Danube through Budapest’s romantic nighttime scenery. Surrounded by softly lit landmarks and the glow of the city skyline, unwind with live music and an inviting onboard atmosphere.

Set off on an evening river journey offering beautiful views of Budapest’s most iconic sights, including the Parliament Building, Chain Bridge, Buda Castle, and Fisherman’s Bastion. Savor your dinner as the illuminated city unfolds along the riverbanks, creating a truly memorable setting.

Enhancing the experience is live salon music performed by members of the renowned Rajkó Folk Orchestra and Ensemble. The performance highlights the distinctive sound of the traditional Hungarian cimbalom, adding an authentic and elegant cultural touch to your evening cruise.

This was a fun date night activity. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food is buffet style and just okay but the performance is great and the city is beautiful at night. Definitely would recommend

Boros D.

Nice musical dinner cruise in head to head (advice: if you want a table of 2, arrive early). Hungarian buffet with soup and main dishes and dessert (advice: go there from the start otherwise it's a queue!). Musicians bring a nice touch and on demand they move to play everything! spectacle of the monuments of Budapest illuminated and you can go on the bridge at mealtimes to contemplate them. To recommend.

Cool atmosphere of an old imperial-era ship with professional / perfect workmanship / classical music and the charm of historic architecture You won't leave hungry either. If you do not have a better idea, you will be satisfied. Minus - no information about what you see and what you are swimming around!

WE LIKED:The Riverboat, very nice, very clean. The staff also very polite. The live music was excellent. The musicians sell their CD for 15 euros (5000 fiorints). The view to the Danube is amazing!
