Evening Cruise with Optional Drinks and Live Music

We booked this cruise for our first night in Budapest and was not disappointed! It is the perfect way to see all of beautiful buildings/bridges. We selected the cocktail option and we’re very satisfied as they were delicious (strong too so a little tipsy by the end of the night!) There was some entertainment too which involved some traditional dancing, this was lovely to watch. Would definitely recommend this cruise, all the staff were also very helpful and friendly!

Evening Cruise with Optional Drinks and Live Music

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

We booked this event on line for my birthday. We were pleased we booked it before we travelled, it worked perfectly. We had a lovely evening, the beers were nice and we had a bottle of fizz. The music was great and the guys came round asking for requests. Would highly recommend this evening. The sights along the river at night are fantastic.

Evening Cruise with Optional Drinks and Live Music

It was a cold night so we spent the time inside. We received the drink and there was nice music on board. We could not take pictures from the inside as there was a lot of reflection from the light. But you could go outside. We didn’t order food but this was available.

Premium Daytime Cruise with Tokaj Frizzante

Comfortable lounge chairs on deck, good champagne, friendly crew. It's just a shame that there is no (audio) guide. I was missing the information on how/when you can download this online guide. Apart from that: honestly, who wants to read while on a boat and not enjoy the view?

Nighttime or Daytime Sightseeing Cruise: Discover Budapest in a New Light

The views and time were wonderful! You have inside and outside seating, your choice. We sat outside. There weren't enough speakers or the volume was low. So, we couldn't hear the tour narration. Apart from that, all was good.

Evening Cruise with Optional Drinks and Live Music

We went for the cheaper option which excluded the food, so I cannot comment on that aspect but the live music was exceptional. What a fabulous violinist! Fun and familiar tunes played, so your toes will be tapping along. The boat is quite lovely. Clean, attentive staff, good drinks, immaculate toilet facilities and a lovely large open deck on top so passengers can get those fantastic nightime shots of the city at its best. Happy to highly recommend.

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.
