Your host meets you in central Budapest before leading you to the boat awaiting you on the Danube. Head to the upper deck for fresh air or take a seat by the large viewing windows of the deck down below.

As you take off along the water, you are poured a flight of Hungarian wines. Each tasting promises the flavourful notes from the country’s best organic winemakers produced without additives.

As you sip and sample, lookout to enjoy the view of Budapest’s panorama. See the majestic domes of the Gellért Baths, the Parliament Building, and the regal glow of the Royal Palace. Snap some photos as you sail under the Chain Bridge, and spot additional landmarks like the arcade of Fisherman’s Bastion and the Citadel. Then continue to wine taste, cleansing your palette with a serving of Hungarian snacks, included with this ticket.

After you've sampled all of the wines, you’re welcome to purchase additional drinks on board. Sweet dessert wines are available, among others. Then make your final toast as the boat returns to land at its original departure point.

Alternatively, choose a craft beer or cocktail cruise to suit your preferences. Soft drinks are available on request.

Beautiful views but slow moving ship
Kayla_H
, Jun 2022
This was the same as the dinner cruise it us just the option that doesn’t include dinner. There were not enough seats for people outside and we left 40 minutes late and returned 20-30 minutes late. You do get a welcome drink which is a glass of sweet wine. The boat moved very slowly and it seemed other boats were moving past us at a much faster pace. The views at night are beautiful and I do recommend doing a nighttime cruise but not via this company.

Good experience
Mansi_B
, May 2022
It was a nice experience to see the beautiful buildings from the river. The wine tasting was nice as well. Just felt the employees were not very friendly/a little rude. Also I picked the evening cruise thinking the lights on the buildings would be on by then, but it was still to early so the lights actually did not come on till the cruise was almost over. Wish the timing of the cruise was adjusted based on the time of year/when sunset would be.

Worthwhile
Mike_B
, May 2022
This is worth doing. It be mindful it takes about 2hrs and drags a bit as the boat is a little slow. Plenty to see and staff onboard very helpful. There is a bar onboard with a decent range of drinks. We didn’t eat so can’t comment on the food. This is a pretty good river cruise. It is not a boat trip. It is an evening cruise

Cruising until confronted by racist staff
DAVINDER_C
, May 2022
The trip itself was worth the money but the service was disgusting. As the only identifiable Sikh man on the boat I was constantly ignored by the bar staff. I asked for 2 coffees and was told they couldn’t take my order. Everyone else around (white) got served and the staff were stood there chatting to each other. The captain apologised but it ruined the trip

Too much cigarette smoke

If you plan on enjoying the view from the outside deck, you will be in a cloud of cigarette smoke. I had to retreat to an inside table where I couldn’t see anything.

Disappointed
Rhianne_H
, Apr 2022
Arrived 30 mins prior as directed but most seats gone, ended up in the middle so could barely see anything. Queued for 30 mins to get a drink - missed parliament! Service was poor and very busy. A shame but would recommend reserving a table seat.

icon Response from Host , Apr 2022
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Holiday seasons like Easter weekend can get really busy indeed. As the boat takes turn on the Danube it passes the Parliament at least two times during the two hours. We hope next time you will enjoy your cruise more!

Really great boat trip down the Danube River, we chose the cheapest option which really was enough here. The views were stunning and the band (although pretty much begging for a tip) were great too! From seeing the food on our walk around the boat we wouldnt recommend this option...

Really enjoyed it, Great music, beautiful and clean, enjoyed the drinks, very polite and friendly staff. Definitely recommend it. I would have probably enjoyed a slightly less bring indoors lighting, in order to enjoy the beautiful monuments in a cozier atmosphere.

Kamal_B

Booked the cruise with two cocktails. Took over 35 minutes to get one drink. Then asked for a cola and it was flat. Told the bar lady it was flat to give me another and she went into a huff. Cocktails were not very tasty at all.
