Budapest Dinner Cruise with Folk Show

The Hungarian Folk Dance Show includes the traditional dances and dance motifs of various regions of historic Hungary like Kalocsa town or Szatmar county, including spectacular Bottle Dances (women balancing bottles on their heads while dancing), Stick Dances (men acting out shepherd with their herding sticks, making tricky dance moves). 4 dancers will present the Hungarian dances in a lively and enjoyable way, also showing various costumes of highlighted folk regions (different colours, patterns and embroidery).

Learning a Bit of Folk Dance?

The Hungarian Folk Show is followed by an interactive and fun workshop where you will get an opportunity to learn a bit of Hungarian Folk Dances. But only if you really want to, there is no pressure (but it is fun!). You can even get a photo of yourself / yourselves with the dancers, and more.

      I am afraid, I am not really sure what you meant when you said map of Budapest.
      Did you perhaps mean the Budapest Card tourist card including discounts?

    Hi there,

    I want to book the dinner folk cruise on Christmas Day for myself and my parents.  I’d like the unlimited drinks package where as they want the standard package but it won’t let me book both at the same time.  Do I book and pay for them and then book another place for myself separately?  If I do that does that mean that we can’t sit together or do we choose where we sit on arrival.  If you could let me know that would be great so I know what to book.  Many thanks.

      Hello Nicola,

      thank you for your comment.

      There will only be special festive cruises on 25 December, the Folk Dinner Cruise will not run on 25 December. The Christmas Day dinner cruises are either a la carte, served dinner, or buffet style (the dishes are self served and inclusive in buffet dinners). On all dinner cruises, you can choose from several kinds of meals (meat dishes, vegetarian options, soups, salads, desserts).

      The available cruises for 25 December can be found on the following website:

      /budapest-christmas-cruises-december-25

      I hope I could be of help.

    Is the cruise complete inside, or is it possible to go outside to the deck?
    Is it still allowed to do cruises after the accident that happened last week, or are the cruises going to be limited/cancelled?
    Thanks a lot

      Dear Eva,
      thank you for your inquiry.
      Yes, the live folk show takes place in the covered area of the ship, and the dinner is served there too.
      However, there is a small open deck at the back of the ship for smoking.

      The accident has no effect on the cruise schedule whatsoever, all cruises are running as usual.
      We hope we can welcome your on board.
