Cruises to be Booked Online
Special Events Cruises: Valentine’s Day Cruises, Fireworks Cruises, Christmas Eve Cruises, Christmas Day Cruises, NYE Cruise, NYD Cruises
The following VIP cruises are our special event Danube cruises in Budapest:
Valentine’s Day on the Danube in Budapest
Valentine’s Day Cruises: celebrate Feb 14 with your better half on a romantic Valentine’s Day Dinner Cruise with special decorations, sparkling wine and live music.
Fireworks on the Danube Budapest
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.
New Year on the Danube Budapest
New Year Cruises in Budapest: on New Year’s Eve and on New Year’s Day you can say goodbye to the old year in style. The NYE cruise has an Open Bar, live show, and lots of treats. All aboard the festive river Danube where the lights double in the night!
Further cruises that are worth booking online are dinner and lunch cruises at the weekends, which are quite booked up a few days before the event.
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. As usual throughout the year, the dinner cruises are full at the weekends, and more relaxed during the weekdays.

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
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!
