My girlfriend and I took the 8:15 PM Evening Danube River Sightseeing Cruise and it was absolutely fantastic! Seeing Budapest illuminated at night was breathtaking, especially the Parliament, Chain Bridge, and Buda Castle. The atmosphere was romantic and relaxing, perfect for couples. The staff was friendly, professional, and very attentive throughout the entire cruise. The unlimited drinks included with our ticket made the experience even more enjoyable. Everything was smooth and well organized. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Budapest. Highly recommended!

The cruise departed on time, and the staff were very friendly! We had booked the option with unlimited drinks. We sat on the outside deck, which was really nice, and we were able to admire the architectural beauty of Budapest by night. A truly worthwhile experience!

I was thrilled to cruise on the Danube and see all the sights. The audio was excellent and staff helpful. Budapest is beautiful from the river. Seeing the front of Parliment was a bonus. This tour also goes the length of Margaret Island which was beautiful with fall colors. There is the option of getting off and walking the island and getting back on the boat in 1 1/2 hours.

Step aboard a scenic Danube cruise in Budapest, and choose between flexible daytime or evening options, each complemented by a refreshing welcome drink.

Glide past Budapest’s iconic sights, including the majestic Parliament Building, Shoes on the Danube Bank, Gellert Hill, Fisherman’s Bastion, Margaret Island, and more.

Select a cruise with audio commentary to hear stories about Buda Castle’s medieval royal legacy, Parliament’s Gothic architecture, Chain Bridge’s destruction and reconstruction after World War II, and more.

Upgrade to an evening cruise to enjoy live music and 2 cocktails or unlimited mulled wine, perfectly complementing Budapest’s illuminated riverside views.

60-minutes daytime or evening cruise (based on the option selected)
