Details

Experience a private Danube River cruise in downtown Budapest aboard the M/S Klara, a well-maintained modern Dutch vessel (with occasional substitute boats). Designed for comfort and safety, the boat is suitable for families, friend gatherings, and smaller private events.

The boat comes equipped with an amplifier and an onboard bar, offering snacks and drinks at reasonable prices. This is not a high-speed tour but a leisurely, stable journey focused on safe sightseeing and panoramic views. You can book this program from morning to evening; simply indicate your preferred start time at booking, and the operator will do its best to accommodate it.

The 60-minute cruise takes you through the inner city, where you can admire illuminated bridges (in the evening), the Hungarian Parliament, Buda Castle, the Varkert Bazar, the Vigado Concert Hall, and other landmarks between Margaret Bridge and Erzsebet Bridge. In addition to standard pick-up points, pick-up can be arranged from almost any Budapest Danube port for an extra fee.

It was private and personal. A special night for just two people. Being a smaller boat it can’t go as far downstream as the larger boats but the trade off was worth it. No crowds, no rowdiness, just solitude and a perfect evening on the Danube sipping wine along the way. The boat got particularly close to the parliament building which was amazing at night. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

Excellent cruise and the crew was friendly and attentive. Recommend at night so you can see the lights.

Unfortunately for us the weather was awful. It had just started to snow and therefore it was difficult to see outside as the boat got all steamed up. However the skipper did open the window for a short while so we could take some photos. I’m sure in the summer it would be wonderful. We liked not having other people with us as we saw the big boats were really busy. I would definitely recommend this if there’s a group of you.
