We took the boat trip at the beginning of February this year. We bought tickets for €12 and, what can I say, it was definitely worth it! The upper deck is open, so it was very cold, but there were blankets available to take up with you free of charge. Downstairs, there is plenty of space in the warmth with drinks and even a few snacks. The salami pizza was amazing! The views you get, especially on a night cruise, are spectacular. The Parliament is of course the number one attraction. We would definitely do it again!

The Danube cruise in Budapest was a magical experience, made even more special by the Christmas atmosphere that enveloped every detail. Cruising through the city's already gorgeous lights, while admiring the illuminated Parliament and Buda Castle from the boat, was truly exciting. On the ship, the large decorated Christmas tree created a warm and festive atmosphere, perfect for getting into the holiday spirit. A unique mix of elegance, romance and Christmas magic that makes this cruise unforgettable.

The Budapest Danube River Nighttime Sightseeing Cruise with Purpleliner was a truly magical experience. The city lights reflecting on the water created a breathtaking panorama of Parliament, Buda Castle, and the Chain Bridge. The boat was modern, comfortable, and offered both indoor and open-deck seating. Smooth check-in process via the Headout app, with friendly staff and informative audio guides. A perfect way to end the evening and admire Budapest’s charm from the river. Highly recommended for first-time visitors and couples!

    River cruise was magical tonight. Wanted to see Budapest by the sea at night so it was all like t up, but I do think during the day would allow for more wonders too. Headphones were good because there was a voiceover but couldn't quite be heard for other passengers talking etc. Loved the blankets available and drinks offered etc . God send having toilet aboard. Very impressed with ease of booking and directions and boarding . Very professional.

    An unforgettable experience on the Danube! With the added bonus of a special atmosphere created by the snow that fell the day before... this mini-cruise had a supernatural feel to it. Very well organized and a super-friendly crew. We highly recommend this timeless experience.

    Pass by the parliament building and the Chain Bridge. The second part of the walk is a bit more boring because there isn't much to see. A pleasant walk.
