Hello,
I already bought 9 tickets for us for next week, for a group. However some of us want to taste wine instead of beer, although unfortunately I don’t know exactly how many. Is it possible for us to get the wine-tasting package on the board with the tickets we already have for the beer tasting on the fly or should I somehow notify the cruise in advance. I just don’t want to ask for a refund and buy the tickets separately, if not necessary.
Hello Marcell,
we have emailed you.
Hello!
I have payed for the Cruise but have not gör any conformation email. When Will I get it?
Hello Emelie,
I would like to confirm that we have received your booking, and the confirmation email has automatically been sent to your given email address but there was a typo. We have contacted you via email and re-sent you the confirmation.
Enjoy your stay in Budapest!
We are a group of 6 adults who would like to go on this Craft Beer Cruise 18 May 2022. But I also saw that you have a Wine Cruise as well. Maybe the girls would prefer to do the wine cruise and the guys the beer cruise …
1. Do these 2 cruises actually happen on the same ship at the same time?
2. Do they happen on different parts of the ship (separated by space or in the same area?
3. How is “seating” arranged for this cruise? Cuz of course we would like to be with our husbands during the cruise.

Dear Linda,
Thank you for your inquiry.
The Craft Beer Cruise and the 7-Tier Wine Tasting Cruise are on the very same boat.
There is also a Cocktail Option (2 Cocktails or 3 Beers) on this 7pm Cruise with live music.
You can book for all 6 guests under the same name to make sure that your party will be registered together.
There is no fixed seating for guests with drink packages, you can find tables and even go outside to take pictures or sit on the terrace.
The program takes place on a large boat with more rooms, so you can choose where to sit.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

After filling in and submitting the booking form, please just use the PayPal Guest Checkout / check out as a Guest option, where you can enter the details of your bank card.
I would suggest online reservation, as tickets often sell out in advance.
