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.

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!

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!

We had booked a driver from and to our hotel, perfect solution when it finishes late. The lights and monuments were amazing, and we could take very beautiful pictures. The boat is quite long and you can circle all around on the deck and sit if you want to rest, outside or inside. The Hungarian orchestra is lovely too. A wonderful night!

Mine was the night cruise with just welcome drink @10PM. The whole programme was well organized and I see few reviews saying that there's not enough space (two dining areas and a top deck) or not more than one drink provided for free. Well, it depends on how much you pay. It's clearly mentioned while booking. Moreover, it's not a "long" walk, around 500-600m only. Overall, it was a superb experience! Keep up the good work :)

Well organised, and Great waiter service. However the Live musicians were out to Rip anybody off, playing to the table and selling CDs of local music. A Real Disappointment of our trip to Budapest!!

one of the best river cruise ever. Everything was amazing: the boat, the service, the staff, the music. Really nice option, so, if you do not buy the buffet option, one can always buy food on boar that is delicious and very cheap. Also drinks are super cheap. It was my second time here, and always good.

They welcomed us with a warm smile and a welcome glass of prosecco. Live music and typical Hungarian dances on board. We didn't have the buffet option, but you can still order food and drinks on board at a low price. We ordered the goulash, which was very good. The cruise ends at the starting point.

The tour is great! We took the evening tour and enjoyed the buildings at night. There is an audio guide included in the price in many languages (Greek, too) which gives you very interesting information about the city, not the one you can find in any guide, but the details you have to search for. I would recommend you do the cruise at the beginning of your visit in Budapest so that you get to know the city. The staff is very friendly and the drinks offered make the one-hour cruise more enjoyable.
