The beautifully refurbished Citadella Ship, a medium-sized retro-style river cruiser offers elegance, comfort, and a nostalgic atmosphere. The boat’s name, reminiscent of Budapest’s iconic Gellért Hill Citadel, symbolises classic views, timeless style, and graceful cruising on the Danube.
The Citadella ship is ideal for private events, special occasions, and sightseeing cruises, accommodating up to 112 guests (with 58 seated inside and 54 seated outside on the panoramic upper deck). Whether you’re planning a small wedding, birthday celebration, corporate gathering, or welcome reception, Citadella provides a scenic and stylish floating venue in the heart of Budapest.

In good weather, enjoy the open-air panorama deck for unforgettable views of Budapest’s most stunning riverside landmarks — from the Parliament and Buda Castle to Margaret Island and Liberty Bridge. At night, the illuminated city skyline creates a magical backdrop for your cruise.
