Dinner and Cruise with Sweet Live Music

Impressive! A delightful sight from the water to Prague, a wonderful walk along the Vltava River, a wonderful motor ship, excellent service! Musical accompaniment during the whole walk, a very talented group of musicians. And of course a very delicious dinner. We were thrilled! Thank you

Evening Sightseeing Cruise with Unlimited Prosecco

interior of Ludwig boat was luxurious and prosecco was REALLY unlimited, every sip you took was refilled. Upper part of boat was nice too but the billboard really ruins the atmosphere there… buildings were unfortunately not lightened at 23:00 at Saturday so it was pitty. But cruise was perfect. I recommend. :)

Evening Sightseeing Cruise with Unlimited Prosecco

Great views and a very nice, chilled atmosphere. Going in November we knew the top deck was going to be cold, but it is freezing!! Make sure to layer up! All other decks were cosy and warm. The staff were super helpful and always kept our glasses topped up. Overall a lovely and very worthwhile cruise!

Evening Sightseeing Cruise with Unlimited Prosecco

Oh my goodness. Unlimited Prosecco is an understatement!! An absolute continuous flow would be more accurate. Definitely worth buying the Turkish bread and dips. Great fun however the commentary lacks the necessary information plus by the halfway mark, everyone is chatting so loudly that it’s difficult to hear. However, the music in between the commentary is awesome! Highly recommend!!!!!

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.

Candlelit Dinner River Walk with Live Music

The boat trip and the food were very good. Romantic and well arranged. Only downside was the bill where they apparently counted with 2x a glass of wine because I would have received 2dl. No further discussion. But I didn't think it was very neat if I just ask for a glass of wine.

Dinner Cruise with Piano Show

We had a great time. The Show was fantastic. The singer has a beautiful voice and George is a fantastic player as his piano partner. The food could be slightly improved on the taste. Wine selection included in the package was good and the service was very good. Our waiters were very kind. I would do it again!

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

Views were spectacular once you got out on deck after the food. Food was very good. Up there with the best of buffet food. We were asked to arrive 30 mins before. Stood in a queue as boarding didn't begin until 10 mins before departure. A minor irritation. Music was not really my thing. Others seemed to enjoy it. Some a bit too much.
