Schedule of the Folk Show Cruise
Budapest River Folk Dance Show
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). The 4 -6 dancers will present the Hungarian dances in a lively and enjoyable way, also showing various costumes of highlighted folk regions (different colors, 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.
Budapest Folk Dance Evening Cruise
The folk dancers are the members of the traditional folk ensemble called Folkrhythms, who gained show experience in the former, nationally and internationally acclaimed Rajko Folk Ensemble. The folk dance ensemble on the river cruise is 4 – 6 dancers, plus there is a quartet playing the folk dance music for the group.

Hello Tatiana,
thank you for contacting us.
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:
https://budapestrivercruise.com/budapest-christmas-cruises-december-25
I hope I could be of help.

The Folk Dinner Cruise (and dinner cruises) does not have any guide while cruising.
I hope I could be of help.
If we book the dinner with folk dance, where do we go to dock and what is the name of this boat?
Dear Rowena,
The name of the ship is Taltos, and the meeting point is 5 min walk from Budapest city center at Dock 11 near Elizabeth Bridge, Marcius 15 Square.
Hello,
I have a question. We need a total of six tickets. Two with the unlimited drinks, two for the regular drink option, and two kids. We want the window seats, and we were wondering if there is a children’s menu, for one of the kids.
Thank you,
Tiffanie Alexander
