Fireworks Danube Cruise: each year on August 20 the Fireworks river cruise is the most spectacular cruise of the year. Yes, bigger than New Year’s Eve cruises as the city celebrates her birthday with the National Fireworks at the UNESCO World Heritage Site on the river Danube. New Year’s Eve is fun, and nice too in Budapest, but the fireworks are smallish compared to the August 20 Fireworks. You have never seen Budapest like this!

Christmas on the Danube Budapest

Christmas Danube Cruise: city cruises in Budapest on Christmas Evening, on Christmas Day, on New Year’s Eve and on New Year’s Day. Budapest Christmas is a wonderful series of events in the city. A cruise on the river Danube is a must, especially on December 24 when the city wraps up in family celebrations, and there are very few events taking place. Our Christmas cruises are exceptional.

Dinner Cruises in Budapest: booking in advance is warmly recommended for the evening cruises with drinks or with dinner and drinks. You can book the Night Cruises with optional dinner: Budapest Danube dinner cruises: the night cruises are spectacular, and many tourists often combine it with a Hungarian folk show performance. As usual throughout the year, the dinner cruises are full at the weekends, and more relaxed during the weekdays.

Lunch Cruises in Budapest: lunch cruises or cruises with an optional lunch are less packed from October to May, but from June to September we suggest booking them in advance if you are on a short Budapest weekend.

    Hi, I have purchased a Budapest Pass. How may I book the free tour provided by the pass please?
    • Budapest Cruise
      Dear HN, Thank you for contacting us regarding your Budapest Card / River Cruise ticket and audio guided cruise programme included in the tourist pass for the 2024 / 2025 year (benefits keep changing though even in the course of a year, so it may or may not be included in future Budapest Cards). We have sent you an email with more details with the following information: Individual Guests on Budapest river cruises: individuals do not need to reserve your boat tour in advance, but it is worth registering your interest along with your Budapest Card number in advance (this is not considered a proper booking as only personal presence with a valid Budapest Card will finalise the booking, which can be done 1-2 days before the cruise of course, at the dock). Nevertheless, it helps to avoid the inconvenience of finding out about a cruise being already sold out at the last minute, which may happen if your cruise is during the Budapest Christmas holidays or around New Year's time. In theory, You can just simply show up at the cruise dock / boat tour meeting point on your chosen date at the right time, if there are enough seats left (the cruise will not wait for late comers to respect the time of other tourists, the cruise schedule and the overall quality of Budapest River Cruise programmes). However, during the festive season there is no guarantee that enough cruise tickets will be left (end of Dec, DEc 22-31, and early Jan, Jan 1 - 5). So if you are planning to use the free cruise ticket during the festive period, we would suggest going to the dock in advance and make a pre-arrangement.

  • Tobias Ekvall
    Hi! My name is Tobias Ekvall and myself and 7 of my friends from Sweden are looking for a great party cruise on new years eve. We want to have a great dinner, party some and then later head to A38 to spend the rest of the night. What is your best deal for us? I am a little bit lost in which cruise we should pick that fits us the best. With kind regards
    • BudapestRiverCruise
      Hi Tobias, as in winter time our party boat (run on Fri, Sat, Sun from spring to autumn) is taking a rest, and on New Year's Eve we launch our special Dec 31 party boat, I recommend our party cruise on December 31: https://budapestrivercruise.com/new-years-eve-budapest-river-cruise-2012 This includes an open bar, so the price includes all of the drinks you can possibly have during the cruise party. :) You can stay as long as you wish on our cruise or head over to A38 party ship. Happy travels!
