  Hi cruise Team What’s the difference between 3 course and 4 course dinner cruise? I know that 4 course has included: 1 starter, 1 soup, 1 main, 1 dessert So what’s the 3 course looking like? No starter, no soup or no dessert? Greetings from Germany

  • Budapest River Cruise February 13, 2023

    Hello Nico, The 3-Course dinner has no starter (it starts with a soup). Hope we can welcome you on board!

    Hello Tatyana, on the Ala Carte dinner cruise there are private tables, so you can sit alone. If you wish to join a cruise with shared tables we recommend the buffet dinner cruise (there are shared tables of 10). https://budapestrivercruise.com/budapest-buffet-dinner-cruise

  Hi, We are coming to Budapest from 14 September 2021 to 16 September 2021. We would like to enjoy dinner on the cruise. Do you serve 3 or 4-course VEGETARIAN dinners? If you do then please Let me know which option should I book. Please note that I am not looking for a private cruise.

  • Budapest River Cruise September 9, 2021

    Dear Aakash, Thank you for contacting us about Budapest river cruises. We recommend the A la Carte Dinner Cruise with 4-Course dinner on the all round panoramic view ship with bubble window and fascinating meal choices (basically it is actually a floating restaurant on the river Danube). You can see the menu on the following link: https://budapestrivercruise.com/menu-of-candlelit-budapest-dinner-on-a-la-carte-cruise Alternatively, please see all the available dinner cruises, with various vegetarian options: https://budapestrivercruise.com/budapest-dinner-cruise Hope you will enjoy whichever programme you pick aboard a cruise boat in Budapest.

  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

  Reply
  • Budapest River Cruise August 18, 2019

    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).

      Is there a guide for this cruise?
    • Budapest River Cruise January 23, 2019

      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 spring, summer and autumn seasons: https://budapestrivercruise.com/budapest-cruise-calendar

  Hello, My name is Chi Meng Lao,I am going to travel to Budapest in July and I am planning to join the "A LA CARTE DINNER CRUISE " with my girl friend. Because the 9th July is her birthday. I am not going to tell her about this cruise and just tell her I will bring her somewhere else for dinner. So this is my little surprise for her.Anyway, I am writing this email for inquiring if it is possible to ask the live music player to play a specific song for her at that time when we have dinner and prepare a small of chocolate cake for her especially. Therefore, this is the reason why I am writing this and ask if your team can help me to achieve this for me. In addition, if it needs any extra fees for that, please inform me without any doubts.

    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.

  • Budapest River Cruise February 25, 2017

    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.

Looking forward to your reservation, whichever a la carte cruise is up to your preferences.

      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.

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.
