Getting started

Arrive at the Budapest Vigadó tér Ship Station, Pier 5, and board the ship named 'Budapest'. After your ticket is checked, you’ll be guided to your seat on either the music-focused lower deck or the sightseeing upper deck, where the celebration begins.

A New Year’s Eve celebration on the Danube

Celebrate New Year’s Eve drifting along the Danube as Budapest’s skyline glows around you. From the water, the city feels especially magical, with illuminated landmarks, reflections on the river, and a festive atmosphere that sets this celebration apart from land-based parties.

Nonstop music & celebration

Head to the music floor on the lower deck to enjoy the energy of a live DJ and a dedicated dance floor. The upbeat soundtrack keeps the mood lively throughout the evening, making it easy to dance, mingle, and celebrate as the countdown to midnight approaches.

Festive buffet dining

Throughout the cruise, enjoy a generous buffet featuring a mix of international favorites and Hungarian specialties. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available, allowing guests to dine comfortably while performances, views, and music continue around them.

Unlimited drinks all night

An open bar keeps the celebration flowing, with unlimited wine, beer, spirits, cocktails, soft drinks, and coffee available throughout the evening. Whether you’re raising a glass on the deck or enjoying drinks at your table, everything is included for a relaxed and carefree night.

Midnight on the river

As midnight arrives, take part in New Year’s Eve traditions with special Hungarian dishes served after the countdown and a complimentary champagne toast. Ringing in the New Year on the river, surrounded by lights and celebration, creates a moment you won’t forget.

Budapest’s icons from the best seat

Cruise past some of Budapest’s most famous sights, including the Hungarian Parliament Building, Buda Castle, and the Chain Bridge. Seeing these landmarks illuminated at night from the Danube offers unbeatable views and perfect photo opportunities as the city welcomes the New Year.
