      Hello David, the starter options are not vegetarian, but if you eat seafood you can find meat-free options (scallops or shrimps). There is a vegetarian soup all year round and the Mushroom risotto for the main course. The desserts are vegetarians as well. Hope we can welcome you on board!

    Hello there. I will be staying at the Aquincum Hootel in May and was wondering how close the docks are to my hotel. How accessible are the docks from this hotel by public transport too? Thanks :)
    Reply
    • Budapest River Cruise
      Dear Tia, most of the docks are located between the Chain Bridge and the Elizabeth Bridge on the Pest side. It is approx. 35-40 minutes by public transport from your hotel, so we would recommend to come by taxi (only approx. 20 minutes).

      Dear Eugene, thank you for your inquiry. Dock: the cruise leaves from and arrives at Vigado Square, Dock 7, which is located in the city center of the Pest side of Budapest (District V). It is not nearby from your accommodation, so we suggest using a taxi or shuttle service.

      Dear Kimmo, thank you for your inquiry. As for the a la carte dinner cruise in Budapest, in each case we are sending the payment link personally via email (supposing there are available seats left on the boat), as we need to check the complete calendar receiving instant reservations from all buying channels at the same time, in real time. This way we can avoid double or triple bookings. We have sent you the reply email regarding your July cruise inquiry.
