Details
From the river, Budapest, which is frequently cited as one of Europe's most beautiful cities, is even more stunning. The Gellért Bath, Mt. Gellért with its Freedom Monument and the Citadella, the Buda Castle, and the Fisherman's Bastion are among the World Heritage Sites on the Buda side, which extends from the Chain Bridge to the Technical University. You can marvel at iconic structures like the House of Parliament and the St. Stephen's Basilica on the other side of the river.
You'll have a lot of chance to appreciate drinks in the air-molded lodge and afterward head to the outside upper deck to respect the scene of Budapest around evening time.
The well-known "cimbalom," an exquisite original Hungarian instrument, is also featured in the performance. The cimbalom and string instruments create an unforgettable harmony that is uniquely Hungarian and create an outstanding atmosphere on board.
Do you want to hear your favorite popular song in a new way? Guests will have the opportunity to request their favorite songs during the performance.

We booked this cruise for our first night in Budapest and was not disappointed! It is the perfect way to see all of beautiful buildings/bridges. We selected the cocktail option and we’re very satisfied as they were delicious (strong too so a little tipsy by the end of the night!) There was some entertainment too which involved some traditional dancing, this was lovely to watch. Would definitely recommend this cruise, all the staff were also very helpful and friendly!

Budapest bei Nacht zu sehen, war ein Erlebnis. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten toll in warmen Licht eingehüllt. Die Lokalität ansprechend, der Service freundlich und aufmerksam. Die musikalischen Akzente live und sehr schön. Alles in allem, eine gelungene Aktivität. Muss man gesehen haben!

Very large boat and it left a bit late because it took a long time to embark all the passengers. There was no commentary telling us about the places we were passing though. The staff were very nice. The musicians didn’t play out on the deck but we went inside towards the end to listen and this was fun.

We booked this event on line for my birthday. We were pleased we booked it before we travelled, it worked perfectly. We had a lovely evening, the beers were nice and we had a bottle of fizz. The music was great and the guys came round asking for requests. Would highly recommend this evening. The sights along the river at night are fantastic.

Booked the cruise to see the nightime sights of Budapest with my son (age 19), mother and son city break. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and attentive. The live musicians were pleasant and a nice touch, but did play the same tunes. We didn't have food included but did purchase some nachos. These were a box version with only salsa, so not totally nachos as we thought. What we were really disappointed with, there was no commentary, or information as to the beautifully, lit buildings and bridges we were passing. We were hoping for some guide or even written information about these. To get nice photos or views of the sights you had to go outside on deck to see as the lighting on board was not dimmed and I could only see my own reflection, but i do understand that people cant eat in the dark. Overall, we did enjoy this river cruise but I'm not sure if I would recommend it.

It was a cold night so we spent the time inside. We received the drink and there was nice music on board. We could not take pictures from the inside as there was a lot of reflection from the light. But you could go outside. We didn’t order food but this was available.

The boat is amazing, a old preserved one. But you can choose your place to sit, and the explanation was missing, and also the music if you are outside (if you didn't pay dinner).

We spent 5 days in Bdapest, and the night time cruise on the Danube was one of the best experience, the city was beautiful, the music was fantastic, and the meals were tasty. During the whole night was kind and active although it was after 11p.m. at the end. Thank you for the fantastic night!
