Pizza & Beer Downtown Budapest Cruise

The staff were very friendly and helpful. A great way to see Budapest lit up in all it's glory from the river. The pizza was washed down with some really nice local beer. A shoutout to Antony & his partner from Sweden who we met on the cruise, hope you and my daughter Anna both enjoyed having happy birthday sung to you.

Dinner & Cruise on the Danube with Folklore Dance Show & Live Music

Nice musical dinner cruise in head to head (advice: if you want a table of 2, arrive early). Hungarian buffet with soup and main dishes and dessert (advice: go there from the start otherwise it's a queue!). Musicians bring a nice touch and on demand they move to play everything! spectacle of the monuments of Budapest illuminated and you can go on the bridge at mealtimes to contemplate them. To recommend.

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.

Budapest: Boat Party on the River Danube

We did the boat trip with a JGA group. Tickets with drinks included are recommended, it's worth it! The view from the upper deck was perfect. Unfortunately, it took quite a long time until the mood on the boat was good, after that it was almost over again. It would be nice if the journey took longer than 2 hours. You can see a lot of Budapest and see the city from a different angle. Overall recommended, would definitely do it again.

Beer & Pizza Cruise

lovely cruise to do as a couple with stunning views of the city. the pizza was what you expect and the whole thing was good value for money if you like to get a few drinks in while going down the river. we went during night time in winter (4:30pm) and unfortunately the front of the parliament wasn’t lit but the rest of it was. we walked down to there other days and it seemed to be the same each time. Other than that everything else was lit and it was beautiful to see the city. I would recommend getting there 30 minutes before your slot if not slightly earlier as there was a big queue and if you wasn’t one of the first you would be unable to get a window table and end up being stuck in the middle of the boat.

Cocktail Cruise Downtown Budapest

Myself and 2 other ladies did this cruise on the 26th of November. Was amazing to see all the beauty of Budapest from the river Danube. We sat on deck most of the trip and thoroughly enjoyed the 3 cocktails which was part of the trip. Crew was very helpful. Definitely recommend to go on this.

Very large boat and it left a bit late because it took a long time to embark all the passengers. There was no commentary telling us about the places we were passing though. The staff were very nice. The musicians didn’t play out on the deck but we went inside towards the end to listen and this was fun.

Evening Cruise with Optional Drinks and Live Music

Absolutely astounding. A short walk to the Dock led us onto one of the most luxurious boats I have ever seen. I paid for dinner and the cruise and my partner and myself were led up to our own table and given champagne. Once the cruise was underway the food was opened up and all of it was lovely. Traditional Hungarian dishes and a cold desert table. Despite it being a buffet there was more than enough food and it was all cooked well. We were more than happy with everything presented. The music was fantastic as well with live music being played throughout. Overall well worth the money and an incredibly romantic experience.
