They say that you have to be there half an hour before and when you get to the beach they make you wait outside in the cold, we had no audio guide...the good thing was to get to know Budapest from the Danube.

Average experience, the view from deck was really nice, but from the inside there was not a nice view from all tables. Too crowded, too loud and different music from both back and forth of the ship (we were seated somewhere in between, thus tthe confusion), too many people passing through the corridor, that didn't let the guests seated in the inner side watch the view outside. We hat to seat outside in the cold, in order to see something. The drink was literally 2 sips. I would recommend it in better weather conditions, or a more upgraded tour.

A long time standing. There was no choice of drinks. We didn't want champagne and the juice was of poor quality. Otherwise, very good.

The cruise along the river in Budapest was stunning. The only thing I would change is I would of booked to have the dinner on the cruise as you are on the top deck for this with better views etc.

Cruise Along the Danube

Marvel at the wonderful sights of Budapest on the Danube as you enjoy this wonderful 70-minute cruise on a newly renovated boat.

See the hidden nature of the riverbanks from this sightseeing cruise - things that one can only see from the water. Bridges over the River Danube were built in many rounds. Take in the fascinating architecture of the Chain Bridge and the Margaret Bridge. Passing by Margaret Island will give you an opportunity to see locals walking and jogging on this calm and relaxing favorite getaway within the city.

Sail Past Famous Bridges

The sightseeing cruise will continue under two very famous bridges, one of which is the Chain Bridge with the guardian lions from the street sides, beautifully illuminated during the evening hours. Passing the Danube Promenade on Vigadó Square is truly enjoyable and will take you to the next modern bridge over the river Danube - Elisabeth Bridge. Be mesmerized by the beauty of the Buda castle, the residence of Hungarian Kings, and feel the opulence of the Matthias Church, characterized by its neo-Gothic style.

The dominant white color of the bridge connects the city into one. Above the bridge on the Buda side of the river, you can see the statue of Szent Gellért after whom the hill was named. On top of the hill, you will see the beautiful Hungarian woman, Citadella, standing proud with her arms open. Imagine these sights in the soft glow of the lights at night - how beautiful and mesmerizing. To further enhance your experience add a drink of your choice to your cruise ticket!
