Historic Cruise with Welcome Drink

Experience Budapest from the Danube aboard a historical paddle steamer, complete with a welcome drink served upon arrival. As the ship glides along the river, take in panoramic views of the city while listening to an online audio guide that shares interesting facts about the landmarks you pass.

You will board either the Kisfaludy Paddle Steamer or the Hableány Paddle Steamer. These sister vessels are faithful recreations of 19th-century paddle steamers, featuring similar designs and historical character. Both ships offer the same sightseeing route and viewing experience as they cruise past Budapest’s most iconic riverside highlights.

The audio guide is available via a QR code on board and can be accessed directly on your phone. It includes both audio and text content in 30 languages, allowing you to follow the commentary in the format you prefer. For the best experience, guests are advised to bring their own smartphone and earphones. Assistance is available from the crew if needed.

Seating on board is unassigned and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. All guests are expected to follow safety regulations and crew instructions throughout the cruise. Any behavior that disturbs other passengers is not permitted.
