Budapest night river cruise with dinner

Budapest night river cruise with dinner

If none of the days above suite you, please check further night cruise options, or let us know which days you are interested in at info [at] budapestrivercruise.com. For instance, the 7 pm river cruises with optional dinner run every day, even on Hungarian national holidays. However, on some of the public holidays like on August 20, at Christmas or  New Year, there are special Danube cruises – usually with an Open Bar and at a higher cruise fee. Please check our Budapest Danube Cruise Calendar for the timetable of Budapest cruises.

In the winter time, the 10 pm city cruise is only in the timetable on certain days as you can see. Unlike the 7pm river cruise with dinner, the 10 pm river cruise does not include live music, but will offer the dinner menu on top of the 2 free drinks, if you opt for a late night buffet style dinner. As there is neither music, nor live show, the prices of the late night dinner cruise are slightly cheaper than the 7 pm cruises.

The 10 pm river cruise includes: the river cruise, the dinner. All the cruise ships are heated in winter time and cooled with AC in summer time.

Budapest Cruise & Hungarian Folk Show Package
