Danube River Cruise with Live Music and Optional Dinner

Discover the Pearl of the Danube at its finest as the sun quietly slips away at the end of the day.

As the bustling city gracefully settles down for the night and the bright moon rises over the city streets, be in awe as the lights come on and transform this already beautiful historical city into a something you can only imagine in your dreams.

Step aboard an elegant river cruiser and watch the Budapest panorama slip gently by, you will appreciate why this well-known landscape now proudly forms part of the carefully selected UNESCO World Heritage list.

During your cruise you will be serenaded by members of the Zoltan Kodaly Awarded Hungarian Folk Orchestra. Unwind with the soothing sounds of the violin, and be intrigued by the famous Hungarian instrument, the cimbalom. You are also welcomed to request your favourite songs.

Feel the fresh air breeze on the open-air viewing deck and gain unparalleled views of the Chain Bridge, the Parliament building, and Buda Castle amongst others. Not only will you be able to see the city’s vivid history, but you will fully understand why the Danube has one of the most beautiful and romantic urban cityscapes the world has to offer.

After disembarking from this this truly remarkable voyage, the memories will linger in your mind and heart for many years to come.
