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.

Hajdú K.
Really worth seeing Budapest at night and the trip was lovely. 2 free drinks and the option to buy more for a cheap price. My only criticism is the room where the live folk music we had booked to see was in a room downstairs with bright lights so you could hardly see the river views. We quickly went out on the deck, as did pretty much everyone, but felt bad for the musicians as they were left performing to about 4 people.

It was my first time cruise and I was immerssed with the music and the dance. It will be better if we able to book the 7pm Cruise. Sadly it was full booked.

Fantastic evening spent on the river cruise. Greeted with champagne and amazing Hungarian trio band who interacted with the crowd. Loved every minute of it and would 100% recommend, especially to do the river cruise at night, stunning views of Budapest

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 boat was lovely and we were greeted with a welcome drink and a second drink for our meal. However the food staff (2 lads) were very unfriendly and rude. A large serving spoon fell on the floor and I picked it up to give to one of the lads who before I finished trying to explain it had fallen on the floor declared " No speak English " whilst not even looking at me ! Upon finally looking at me he realised what I was trying to show and took the spoon. The same lad up In collecting our finished meal plates simply said " finished? " And nodded his head at our plates! The food was tasty but cold which was a real shame. However the views were great which, whilst no guide is provided, a simple map showing the highlights would have helped. Especially for passengers who had arrived that day . We knew most of the sights as we had been in the city a few days. Overall , good little trip but needs small improvements.

I booked the trip on the Danube for my daughter’s ‘hen’ treat with her sisters, friends and myself. The crew were so courteous and welcoming. The complementary drinks were very thoughtful and much appreciated. The actual cruise on the river was calming and absolutely magnificent, especially in the evening with all the buildings and surrounding area lit up beautifully. My daughter, as well as all of us ladies, have a amazing and fantastic memory to remember and hang on to, forever. Thank you so much! Xxx❤️

We liked everything. What could be improved: better identification of where to catch the boat. And make it clear that it's just a glass of sparkling wine or a small glass of orange juice. It’s not “with drinks”.
