Where does the Winter Candlelit dinner cruise (A La Carte) board?
Hello Richard, the candlelit dinner cruise dock is in the city center of Budapest, the river section near Vigado Square (where Hotel Marriott is).
Hello. Tell me please why in your site i can book Budapest Candlelit Dinner Cruise at 25/12 and at legenda site i can’t, they write me that is not aviable at this day. That is difference between information at the sites?
Dear Elena, sorry about the inconvenience. The cruise calendar was updated on this site a bit later. The Legenda dinner cruise is already full house for Dec 25, 2014, but there are seats for Dec 26 at this moment. (There is only buffet dinner cruise available on Dec 25 night.) The cruises are being booked through multiple channels, and keeping the calendars updated with the ongoing reservations is a bit of a challenge. Hope you will find a suitable date for the dinner cruise. Have a beautiful winter holiday in Budapest!

Hello Ann
thank you for contacting us.
Currently there are 2 ala Carte Dinner Cruises in Budapest.
The Legenda Cruise is a high-end cruise, and unfortunately, it can not be booked with Unlimited Drinks. Instead there is a nice and affordable drink list where you can order from on a pay as you order basis. It is suitable to most guests who wish to take this high end cruise.
The other A la Carte Dinner Cruise is at a lower price (the choices of meals is also more limited), and is featuring a bar piano live concert. On the bar piano a la carte cruise you can upgrade for an Unlimited Drinks package for a surcharge of EUR 17/ person.
Budapest Cruise with Bar Piano Booking:
https://budapestrivercruise.com/budapest-dinner-cruise-with-piano-music
Hope this clarifies. Looking forward to your reservation, whichever a la carte cruise is up to your preferences.
thanks for response but still unable to find what I am looking for – please can you direct me to exactly where I click on to to be able to book an ala carte dinner cruise with the option to upgrade to add a drinks package. There seems to be loads of options but not the one I a
m looking for and the link you sent me only lets me click on to the legenda option where you said there is no drinks package option
Am running out of time now and this was to be for a special occasion celebration.
I also will have no printer facility after 7pm tonight as I will be travelling over to Budapest so please can you respond urgently/quickly
Hello Ann,
you can choose the Bar Piano A la Carte Cruise & Dinner & Unlimited Drink Package on the following link (please check the a la carte menu first to make sure that you choose the program you will prefer):
https://budapestrivercruise.com/budapest-dinner-cruise-with-piano-music
If you preferred a more extensive high end a la carte cruise (full house almost every day, which says everything about the quality and popularity), please book here (no unlimited drink package on this cruise I’m afraid): https://budapestrivercruise.com/budapest-candlelit-dinner-cruise-a-la-carte-dinner
E-TICKETS – You do not have to print the e-ticket (the confirmation email), you can simply show it on your mobile phone too when boarding the ship as it is a digital / electronic ticket for the cruise.
To easily compare the inclusions, prices of the a la carte cruises in Budapest we suggest taking a look at this link:
https://budapestrivercruise.com/budapest-dinner-cruise
Basically the menus vastly differ, the lengths slightly differ, the live entertainment is a difference as well, the boat is a panorama boat on the high end a la carte cruise, etc.
Looking forward to your reservation.
Hello, we have purchased tickets for next Wednesday’s dinner cruise (17 May 2017), which my brother paid for via PayPal. However, he never received a confirmation email, only a paid receipt from Paypal that he printed out after he paid. He has attempted to contact you via email but has not received a response yet. He will be heading to BP in the next few days and needs to get this resolved before leaving. Could you please help?
Correction on my above reply: the reservation was made for the Dinner & Piano Cruise, however, I don’t see where I can leave comments or questions on that page. Thank you for your time.
Dear Lauri,
thank you for your comment.
Could you please tell me the name under which the reservation was made? I could not find any booking under your name and email address in our booking system.
We have not received any similar inquiry to our email address, either.
Please get back to us here on or at info@budapestrivercruise.com.
Waiting for your kind reply.
Hello! I was planning on purchasing the Budapest Card 24H and it claims a 10% discount on a La Carte dinner cruise. Do I need to pre book for availing this offer? Which river cruise scheme will be provided? I am planning on visiting on the 3rd of June 2017.
Dear Snigdha,
thank you for your comment.
Yes, the Legenda A La Carte Dinner Cruise Ltd offers 10-20% off cruise fees depending on the cruise program for Budapest Card holders. As these cruises are extremely popular and often run full house, early, in advance online booking is highly suggested.
After buying your card on the following link (http://budapestcards.com/budapest-card-benefits), you can choose the discounted ticket option on:
https://legenda.hu/en/ticket-purchase?partner=29320
I hope I could be of help.
Hello Budapest River Cruise,
I have the same question as Snigdha. Can I use the same link(and referral with that link) also?
Hello Andi,
thank you for your inquiry.
Yes, the links are still valid, and you can use them make your Budapest Card and cruise booking as well.

Have a great time on this popular dinner cruise.
Is there a guide for this cruise?
Dear Rosie,
thank you for your inquiry about Budapest river cruises.
Unfortunately, there are no audio or live guides on the dinner river cruises. Instead, there is live music or show on all of the dinner cruises (a la carte, buffet, gala dinner etc.). On the A La Carte Cruise candlelit cruise the emphasis is on relaxation, romance and the views themselves, therefore there is live salon music to serve as a backdrop, and there is no guide to disturb conversations or the flow of dinner.
If you wish to book an evening guided cruise in Budapest, however, there are various options, which you can find in the timetable of Budapest city cruises here:
winter season: https://budapestrivercruise.com/budapest-winter-cruise-calendar

Hello,
Are all of the dining tables next to a window? We are hoping for good views during our meal.we are a group of 9. Thanks
Dear Kellie,
While seats by the window are not guaranteed (not on any day or for any guest) on the A La Carte Dinner Cruise, the whole ship has a bubble window hub on the sides and the top, which allows perfect panorama view. In most cases, special requests can be completed (about 90%) but we cannot guarantee 100% a window seating.
Seats are allocated on a best arrangement basis when most reservations have been already submitted so that groups, families and couples can most ideally be seated. Thank you for your understanding.
Should you wish to book a cruise with guaranteed window seating, we can recommend you the Dinner & Bar Piano cruise (https://budapestrivercruise.com/budapest-dinner-cruise-with-piano-music) or the Dinner & Folk Show program (https://budapestrivercruise.com/folk-dance-show-on-budapest-evening-cruise).
