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.

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!

The boat holds about 250 people in one event, it sounds a lot but when on board it’s really spread out. It has great music, secure cloak room for your belongings and nice toilets. We received a wrist band and our own bar but only spirit and mixer was available. I had booked with the understanding we could also receive cocktails.

"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. "

Reallyyy good value for money and was so easy to book and find on this website. The boat was really posh and had so many levels to it. It was raining hard on the night we went in Budapest but we still wanted to go and sit on the outside. We then discovered that there’s is an undercover hut outside but for better pictures you can go to the back or front where there isn’t a cover but is still seats on the deck. We then discover the very top of the boat which wasn’t covered but you could get lovely photos on. Whilst sitting outside we were pleasantly surprised that there was an audio aswell to tell you about the monuments we were going last (which you can’t hear inside). When we’d finished taking pics we then went inside to listen to the band and have a drink which was really reasonably priced. I have a cocktail for like £3.40. It was a 2 hours well spent.

The trip was brilliant. The boat was spacious and enough room for a sizeable crowd. Views were stunning, the city at night is just beautiful. Prosecco was refilled so fast I don’t think a single person had an empty glass at any given time, there was also water and lemonade available BUT no one tells you that the city turns off the lights to all the landmarks and bridges bang on 10pm so that wasn’t fun and also some passengers came on the boat already smashed and kept drinking until they were sick which was pretty gross but it’s not the cruise ships fault to be fair. All in all, definitely recommend just maybe not the last cruise of the day.

Exactly what I thought it would be if not better! the restaurant/ main area was really lovely, had a lovely atmosphere and the food was good, just the right portion size for 4 courses and the duck we chose for the main course was really delicious. The piano music throughout the meal was great - The paino battle was cheesy but that was all part of the fun. The staff were really helpful, friendly and attentive and overall we really enjoyed our night

Fisherman's Bastion, Margaret Island, Gellért Hill and the Liberty Statue are also highlights.

What is the average cost of a Budapest boat tour?

Prices for Budapest boat cruises vary and are based on cruise type, duration, and amenities. Prices fluctuate with the seasons so always check before you book. Basic sightseeing cruises are usually the most affordable options. Luxury dinner cruises or private tours will naturally be more expensive.

How long is the typical Budapest river boat cruise?

Short sightseeing cruises usually last about 1 hour, giving you a quick overview of the main sights. Standard dinner or cocktail cruises typically run for 1.5 to 2 hours, while extended luxury experiences can last for 2.5 to 4 hours. Party cruises are usually the longest and can run for 3 to 4 hours or more.

What night cruises in Budapest last 1 hour or less?
