Choose your preferred tour option on booking. Then, enjoy a hotel pickup and transfer to the departure point near the River Danube, or make your way there, depending on your selection.

Settle on the open-air, upper deck or comfortable interior cabin of the cruise boat, and admire Budapest from the water. Sail along the Danube as you watch the sunset, and admire the UNESCO-listed landmarks including the Parliament and Buda Castle District as their evening lights flicker on.

Take photos as you cruise under the 19th-century Chain Bridge and five other bridges, and enjoy foot-tapping live music from members of the Hungaria Folk Ensemble played on the interior deck. Listen to folk melodies and popular favorites, and enjoy a solo played on the cimbalom, Hungary’s traditional, zither-like instrument.

Savor the last views of the illuminated sights as your boat docks, and then finish your 2-hour experience when you disembark or transfer back to your hotel if option selected.

Upgrade your experience to include cocktails as you sail.

Great Value

Perfect way to see the city lit up from the river at night. Glass of champagne was a nice touch and the boat offered something for everyone. Music on one level, rooftop views on another and guided audio on the mid-level deck. Perhaps a half hour too long but overall--one of my favorite parts of my trip to Budapest.

Old ship with cheap drinks

The sightseeing scene is without a doubt beautiful, BUT if you're walking through the city at night save the money for this tour. They offer super cheap drinks and the deck space is not enough for all the people on board.

taking the sunset cruise was one of the highlights of our short trip to budapest. we didn't do the dinner, just the drinks, but i think next time we'll add in the dinner. unfortunately for us it rained so hard to get great pix because couldn't be outside. but seeing the lights of budapest while listening to the music played by the 3 piece band made for an enchanting night.

Lovely activity too, Do note that it is a bit of walk from the meeting point to the boat. The musicians on the boat were awesome! played for the duration of the trip and even took requests! Lovely drinks and staff were really friendly.

Excellent and relaxing! While Budapest offers much amazing scenery, the views from the river can't be beat!! The cocktail service was a little slow, and our cruise wasn't full, so I'd imagine that could be a problem on a busy day. But we were pleased with everything about the cruise - the length of time, the friendly wait staff, the strings trio, and of course the gorgeous views of Budapest from the middle of the Danube. I'd consider this cruise again if I returned to Budapest.

Cool night, but the trip was a great way to see the sights. Drinks were good, but staff seemed enthralled with a large Bachelorette party. They got all the service. Hard to find wait staff for drinks. Good value, though.
