Budapest Sunset Cruises BRC
You can contact us from Monday to Sunday about our cruises (day cruises and night cruises, opera cruises, etc.). We do not operate a menu based central phone contact to avoid automatic hassle and to follow through email requests, which are easily monitored by cruise supervisors. Nevertheless, each cruise program has its own dedicated hostess phone number (sent to you after purchase).
Docks
Docks are assigned by the Budapest Danube Authorities. Many of the cruises has a flexible dock. The dock information, or meeting point details are sent to you in your confirmation email, after reservation. Docks and Meeting Points are complemented by Getting There information so that you can more easily find the specific dock of your chosen program.
Likewise, each program has its own dedicated mobile phone contact at the Dock / Meeting Point.
Most docks are located along the Pest side of the city center of Budapest, between the Margaret Bridge and the Liberty Bridge. Some cruises, however, will leave from the Buda side of Budapest, typically from near the Szilagyi Dezso Square (close to Batthany Square Metro Station).
Please note that some of the cruises are run by our ship partners, or independent cruise companies in Budapest (e.g. the Budapest Wine Tasting Cruise), so we may need to contact them first to provide you up to date info.
Enjoy the river Danube in the city of Budapest. We do, every single day, without ever getting bored!

Hi there,
My wife and I are travelling to Budapest over NYE (31/12/2021) and would like to book for the 5 course dinner river cruise. I have attempted to book online but the system does not allow for bookings for 31/12/2021. Please may you kindly assist with the best way for us to book.
Thank you,
Keegan Zidel
Hello Keegan,
bookings for the NYE programs are now available.
Hope we can welcome you on board!
Hello,
Me and my partner are travelling over from UK in December. I just wanted to check that if we have a negative PCR before departure and we are both fully vaccinated that we can make a booking with you? We can bring evidence of both. Thanks in advance.
Hello Hannah,
you can join the cruises without proof.
At the moment there are no requirements on the cruises.

Hi,
We are spending the new year’s eve in Budapest and we would like to book for the Nye cruise 5 cours dinner and party for the 4 of us.

Hello Bouchra, we have contacted you via email.
Hello, contact us for New Year booking, please.
Dear Yalcin,
Thank you for your interest in Budapest river cruises on New Year’s Eve.
Although currently all of the NYE cruises have been booked up, there will be several New Year’s Day cruises in Budapest on Jan 1 2022 to welcome the New Year’s Day in style:

If you are looking for a night out party on Dec 31, 2021, we kindly ask you to consult with your hotel concierge for suggestions and entries.
The city of Budapest is welcoming tourists with Covid passports from all over the world, so there are several programmes.
We have received some last minute cancellations as some of the guests tested positive and are unable to attend, but even these places have been filled up by waiting list guests.
Nevertheless, some other New Year parties may offer you last minute places.
Hello, we would like to take a daytime cruise, probably this coming Thursday, and get out at Margaret Island for a walk. Where is the station on the island and how we can get back on the boat after spending some time there, most likely more than 45 minutes? Many thanks!
Hello Marta,
I am afraid the sightseeing cruises are not doing Margaret Island breaks during January.
Mostly they are available from March or from May, please see it on the timetable below:
/margaret-island-sights-river-danube-budapest
There is only 1 dock for the cruies.
If you wish to visit Margaret Island in January, we recommend using the Bus nr 26, as the island is accessible on foot / bike / tram / bus via the Margaret Bridge in the south and Arpad Bridge on the north.
Hope you will have a lovely time on Margaret Island / Margit Island (Margitsziget).
Hi.
We are coming in September and wonder if you do the party boat tours on Sundays or Mondays? Thank you
Hello Emma,
Thank you for inquiring about Budapest river cruises.
Most probably there will be boat parties on the weekends, but as usual, scheduled mostly for Fri & Sat. That said, depending on how tourism is reinvigorated by Sep, there might be some Sunday night party cruises. Please check the availability closer to the date of your holiday, in early or mid August.
My friends and I turned up at 6:30 on Saturday 29th Jan for our River Cruise booking as asked and waited for the boat to arrive. We called the contact at 7pm to be told that the River Cruises aren’t running until February, despite us booking and paying for the cruise a few weeks ago.
If the cruises aren’t running, then tickets should not be available to buy.
Please refund the €104 EUR back to my account and send a confirmation email back to me.
Thanks,
Harriet
Dear Harriet,
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience, the weekend shift does not deal with complaints as we are working with a skeletal crew due to Covid changes.
We have contacted you via email to explain the situation: We have contacted our partner in charge of organizing (and – due to a technical issue – rescheduling) this particular cruise program, and have received confirmation that the cruise fee has been refunded, the transfer took place today. We have also offered cruise vouchers for you. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

We are interested in the 80 minute folk show but unable to figure out when it leaves and when it comes back. Is it at the same time as the 3 hour folk show dinner?
Hello Steve,
yes, the 80 min version is the same program but without dinner. The program starts at 7.30pm from the Pest side of the Danube near Elisabeth Bridge.
Guests can normally stay for the whole evening if they wish and order meals or drinks on board.
I hope I could help.
