Family Friendly Cruise on Duna Bella Boat

As Duna Bella boat trip is free for children under 10 years of age, families with younger children can save a lot on this day cruise. Unfortunately, there is no babysitting service or child’s corner on the sightseeing boat, so you will have to keep a good eye on the children.
The cruise is 1 hour 10 minutes, which children enjoy: taking the pretty boat, looking through the window / terrace, climbing to the upper deck, spotting the ships on the Danube, trying the earphone, and getting some story of the river and the nearby attractions can keep them busy and entertained, enriching without feeling dry and educational.
Adults pay, children travel free: at least if they are under 10: we think the Duna Bella day cruises from 11 am to 5 pm are the perfect kid friendly river cruises in Budapest. Child tickets are only to be bought for children aged 10 – 14. We hope you agree that it is a very good cruise deal. If you want to have a lunch cruise with your family, you may consider the affordable buffet style lunch cruise in Budapest (free for under 6 children)
Children Discount Cruise Fee (10 – 14): €8
Children Cruise Fee (0 – 10): Free!

Hello,
I am interested in your 11am guided cruise for when I visit in a few weeks time.
Do we have to book online or can we just turn up and pay on the day?
If so, where do we meet to get the boat and pay?
Thank you for your help!
Amy
Hello Amy,
we recommend the online bookings as the cruises are normally booked up in advance. You can find the dock details on the confirmation email,every cruise has a city centre dock.
Hope we can welcome you aboard!
Essentially, the music of the Danube dinner cruise is salon music. But who is the live band playing on the Danube dinner cruise?
Dear Leo,
thank you for contacting us.
Could you please confirm which dinner cruise you meant in your comment?
We have wide ranges of dinner cruises with different music, such as Bar Piano, Gypsy Music, Operetta or salon music.
Waiting for your reply.
Hello Paul, the winter schedule is very limited compared to summer time cruises in Budapest. Tomorrow (Jan 29) the 2pm sightseeing cruise boat Duna Bella leaves from the 8th pier on Vigado Square, in the city center of Budapest. The other two options with the above fleet is at 6.30 pm (sightseeing boat) or 7 pm (dinner and music boat).
In winter time if the weather is not sunny it is better to take the evening cruises as the sights are nicer.
What time does the tour begin tomorrow 1/29/15? Where is it located. We are staying near the opera house
