Cocktail cruise Budapest to enjoy a relaxing boat ride in the city.
Budapest City Cocktail Cruise
After all that walking and shopping, it is time to wind down, without missing the best part of Budapest: the Danube river cruises. You can carry on sightseeing with some nice cocktails in your hand. Lean back and enjoy the UNESCO World Heritage site, the castles and church es of Budapest lined up along the massive river Danube, which divides the city of Budapest into Buda with gentle hills and Pest with clubs, bars and business life.
The Cocktail Cruise in Budapest offers a wide range of refreshing cocktails and ice cold beers.

Dear Tamara,
thank you for your inquiry.
You can buy your tickets in the Cruise Office in the Danube Palace (Zrinyi str. 5, Budapest 1051). Please note that without online booking we cannot guarantee your seats.
I had planned this with for my sisters hen do, but after 1/2 hour of searching we couldn’t find the boat or any information. No one knew what we were talking about either. This was very disappointing. You need better information on your website as to where you are and where you need to go, a map would be useful.
Hello Jess,
thank you for contacting us.
The Cocktail Cruise is very popular, tickets are almost always sold out before. We always encourage guests to buy the tickets online.
Unfortunately, we could not find any booking under your name, as we send all the necessary information (such as the dock of departure) via email after a successful booking.
The actual dock of this cruise depends on the river traffic, and the available piers for the cruise. The Danube River Authority of Budapest reserves the right to allocate the docks on the same day as the cruise takes place. As the Cocktail Cruise has no set dock, we ask the guests to arrive at the meeting point of the cruise, which is the Danube Palace.
Let me please apologize for any confusion, I hope you still had a good time in Budapest.
Hi there.
I would like to use this service.
And, can i buy this ticket at the deperture place?
Thank you
Hello Osada,
thank you for your comment.
The Cocktail Cruise is very popular, tickets are very often sold out in advance, therefore I cannot guarantee that you will be able to buy any on the spot before departure.
Meeting for the program is 30 min before cruise at the Ticket Office inside the Danube Palace (Duna Palota), 5 min walk from the river Danube in Budapest city centre.
