H.Dignisz
Dear Dignisz,
thank you for your inquiry.
I am afraid there will be no gluten free dishes on the NYE Retro Cruise, therefore we would recommend you to choose the NYE Dinner Cruise & Piano Music, where you can request a special menu: https://budapestrivercruise.com/new-years-eve-dinner-cruise-with-piano-show
Didnt get confirmation
Thanks got it.
What is the dress code
Hello Yigal,
thank you for your emails.
The confirmation email was already sent to you this morning.
The dress code is Casual / Smart Casual, which only emphasizes comfort over presentation, formality and conformity. More simply, it is something relaxed, occasional. Wearing jeans and trainers means no problem at all.
Have a great NYE Party on board in Budapest!
Hello, I’ve booked the tickets via paypal and haven’t got the e-tickets yet. Just the payment receipt.
Is there a problem?
Thank you!
Hello Konstantia,

Your booking is valid and complete, the confirmation email (which is the cruise ticket) was sent to you this morning.
Have a great time on this fantastic NYE Dinner Cruise and Retro Party in Budapest!
Hi
I was supposed to book this trip weeks ago for my boyfriend. Is there any chance you have 2 tickets?
Hello Aine,
I am afraid this program is already fully booked. Thank you for your kind understanding.
Hello. I want to buy tickets for 2018 but want to make sure this is legit. I haven’t seen any reviews or comments this year. Could some confirm. Thanks
Dear Rebekah,

We are continuously receiving bookings for this program, so we would recommend you to make your reservation as early as you can before tickets sell out.

Hello,

Thank you!

I hope I could be of help.
To Whom It May Concern:
I received the confirmation e-mail. Is this the only item I would need to bring with me? I have already paid through paypal.
Also, what is the name of the boat for this NYE Retro Party?
Thank You
Dear Doc Rob,
thank you for confirming.
Yes, you only need to bring your confirmation email with you (printed or in digital format).
The ship will be either Szt Laszlo or Rapszodia.
Sorry, is there a minimum age? I have a son that I purchased a ticket for and he is 12.
On the information above, it says under 18 is okay but no alcoholic beverage will be served.
Just wanted to clarify.
Dear Rob,
no problem, there is no minimum age on this program. Have a lovely time in Budapest!

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Hi
Can you confirm where I find details on the 2019/20 cruise? Is this going ahead and where do you embark / disembark?
Thank you
Dear Kristy,
Thank you for inquiring about the NYE Dinner Cruise. The boat is to depart near Margaret Bridge, please note that this does not apply to all the NYE Cruises.
See you on board!
Hi, just checking what age groups this cruise is for, is it suitable for 4o somethings, thsnk you
Dear Tracy, we believe the retro party is for anyone who loves retro music and a dinner party on New Year’s Eve, whether they are in their 30s or 60s or 40s. Most cruises on Dec 31 run with a mixed age (unless they are specifically advertised as student NYE parties or aimed at young folks).
40 somethings will definitely love it if they love a good party!
