On many of the river Danube cruises, you can opt for our 4-course menu, and have a romantic dinner while viewing the top notch attractions of Budapest (especially romantic after sunset when the attractions are nicely lit at night). The cruise lunch / dinner also includes a glass of wine (or fruit juice) and bottled water (0.33l / 11.6 oz). For further details see each Budapest cruise info page.
We also run late night river cruises starting at 10 pm (on most days, not every day), and booze cruises at 11 pm.
The boats are all well maintained, and well equipped (including AC in summer and heating in winter). They are also partly covered, you can stay on the deck or under the roof too.
We operate our river cruises with all kinds of boats and ships. The river cruises run on breezy summer days, rainy spring afternoons or cold winter nights too. Just look at what you will see: here is a huge panoramic photo of the river views and Budapest by Night! This is just a screenshot of the excellent 3D panoramic photo of Budapest Danube river, and the sights alongside, all beautifully lit. No wonder, it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage.
