Unlimited Booze Cruise Downtown Budapest

Budapest is a beautiful city to see day and night, and we really enjoyed our dinner cruise. They met us when we boarded and sat us down at our table with a glass of champagne when we arrived. Magnificent views of the parliament, the chain bridge and other attractions.

Danube Drinks & Soft OPEN bar cruise

Amazing views, inside the boat was nice and warm, and the drink selection was good (the hot mulled wine in particular, if you’re a fan.) The only reason it’s 4 not 5 stars is because the drinks come in plastic cups rather than glasses. A small thing, but the photo in the advertisement shows you get glasses.

Pizza & Beer Downtown Budapest Cruise

"I had booked the cruise on the day of my arrival in Budapest. Due to severe flight delay I missed the scheduled evening. The customer service solved the problem by not making me lose money or the tour, postponing the same to another evening. A very pleasant and relaxing cruise. Beautiful accompanying music and very kind crew. I highly recommend it. "

Candlelit Dinner River Walk with Live Music

Just amazing. The boat and setting was fantastic and a great way to see budapest by night. The parliament building is stunning at night. But the best part was the best food we had eaten for quite a while. Fine dining quality. Sit nearer the bar as we were as I can imagine the live music might be a little loud nearer to them.

Hungarian Dinner Cruise on the Danube

great food and view's, didn't get the free wine with the meal though, there's quite a lot going on at the start of the trip, trying to get feed etc and take in the view's. Budapest lit up at night is beautiful. the boat handily retraces its first part of the route towards the end so you don't have to worry about what you missed at the start..

The Danube River Sightseeing Cruise With Live Music

Superb cruise, 90 min allows you to fully enjoy the Danube and the different landscapes! Possibility to have a drink during the cruise and the prices are very correct. I highly recommend because the cruise is well worth the 8€ unlike some at more than 20€.

Evening Cruise with Optional Drinks and Live Music

The cruise started from around 10:10 PM. I reserverd one starting from 9:30 and expected to end by 11:00 PM. However most public transportation stopped running , the journey ended 11:45. except few number of night buses which stopped far from the spot. I liked live music and the players attitude.
