We have partnered with the best Hungarian Folk show ensembles to offer you a great Budapest package deal of a night cruise on the Danube and a folk dance show.

The 8 pm Hungarian Folk dance shows are either in the Danube Palace behind the Gresham Palace (Hotel Four Seasons) or in Buda, in a 19th century Concert Hall, the Vigado building. Depending on the where the folk shows are, the night cruise ship either leaves from central Budapest on the Pest or on the Buda side.

  • Evelyn Ruff

    Hi,
    I just paid for a ticket for a 7pm Snack Cruise on the Danube River and I never got emailed my ticket. I worried I may have had a typo in my email. Can you check to see what happened? I can email the receipt if necessary?

    • Budapest River Cruise

      Hello Evelyn,
      thank you for your booking. I can confirm that your booking is valid, and the confirmation email has already been sent to you. We have just noticed the typo in your email address, so we have re-sent the ticket to the correct one. Have a nice time in Budapest!

  • Rebekah wilson

    For the tours that are guided and leave at 9pm and 930pm. The ticket comes with one drink. Is it possible to buy more drinks when onboard that particular cruise ? I think the website said it was the legenda boat. Thanks

    • Budapest River Cruise

      Hello Rebekah,

      thank you for your inquiry.

      I am afraid, there is only one welcome drink included in the ticket and there is no bar onboard to buy more.

      Can I please draw your attention to the Snack Cruise with unlimited drinks, which is an 80-min-long cruise with 1 hot meal, audio guide (from 10.30am to 6pm only) and unlimited beer or soft drinks.

  • gemma treacy

    Hi myself and my boyfriend will be visiting Budapest on the 8th of April. What’s your best deal per person for the cruise and dinner? Also do you do vegetarian option? Thank you!

    • Budapest River Cruise

      Hello Gemma, yes, vegetarian dishes are available on all dinner river cruises in Budapest, but please indicate it in your booking form that you are ordering 1 (or 2) vegetarian menus, so that the chef can prepare accordingly.
      The best deal is dependent on what you wish to have included in the price of the cruise fee on the cruise.
      Typically 2016 cruise fees will increase by a few Euros compared to 2015 prices.
      You can see the complete range and compare the inclusions and prices of the dinner cruises in Budapest on this page: https://budapestrivercruise.com/budapest-dinner-cruise
      2016 prices are updated from Jan 1, 2016.
      Hope this helps in planning your April program and cruise in Budapest. Have a beautiful spring holiday in Hungary.

  • Sophia

    Hi, we booked the 10pm Budapest river cruise for tonight and we were wondering where the meeting point is? Thank you!

    • Budapest River Cruise

      Dear Sophia, according to the dock schedule, also linked to in your confirmation email, the September 2nd dock for the 10 pm river cruise is on the Pest side of Budapest by the Chain Bridge. The meeting point is a 5 min walk from the Chain Bridge, Meeting point at 9.30 pm in the Danube Palace, Address: 5 Zrinyi Street Budapest District V

      https://budapestrivercruise.com/10-pm-budapest-cruise-dock-schedule

    • Budapest River Cruise

      Hello Sophia,

      it depends on which cruise you have booked for tonight. If you booked the 10 pm cruise with 2 drinks (and no guide), quote from the confirmation email “Meeting Point of the Cruise: please check the departure dock of your cruise following this link: https://budapestrivercruise.com/10-pm-budapest-cruise-dock-schedule-2015-boat-tours.
      Please arrive half an hour before the actual cruise starts to ensure seamless embarking.”

      However, if you have booked the 10 pm sightseeing cruise tonight on the Legenda boat (1 drink + audio guide via earphones), the dock is near Vigado Square, Dock 7 Jane Haining rakpart.
      Have a nice cruise in Budapest!

      Email contact for emergencies / urgent questions is a more efficient way for us to respond quickly. We check comments too, but email is perhaps the fastest way to reach us for additional information about boat tours.
      Hope the above details were coming in time for you.

  • Nathalie Zammit

    From the hotel to the boat is there going to be transport?
    Can we book the table near the window?
    We will be staying in Danubius grand hotel Magitsziget is it far from the boarding of the boat?
    Thank you.

    • Budapest River Cruise

      Thank you Nathalie, for your inquiry. We respond to emails faster than to comments on the website, so hopefully this information still arrives in time.
      If your questions are about the 10 pm Danube cruise, yes, window seats are available as the whole boat is wit windows by the side (85% of the side). Hotel drop off and pick up are not included in the price. The dock is located centrally by the Chain Bridge on the Pest side for the November and December 10 pm cruises (in spring, summer, fall months the docks may change!)
      The Grand Hotel on Margaret Island is not too far from the boat by taxi, but public transport is a bit more complicated from the island. Please check the car route here: https://goo.gl/maps/VWw55
