    Hi, I want to ask if this ship departs from near Margaret Bridge as previous years? Are there free parking spots nearby? (Since we are staying at a hotel a bit far away so we can not walk there. We are staying near Elizabeth bridge) Thanks!

      Hello Ket, the boat will leave from nearby the Parliament building, please see the map below. https://goo.gl/maps/2YhDhXddj262 There is a large parking slot called Liberty Square Parking you might leave the car there or find available slots in the nearby streets.

      Dear Natalie, Thank you for your inquiry about the New Year Eve Dinner Cruise and Retro Party. Yes, fireworks are to be seen on New Year's Eve, but please note that it is less spectacular than the traditional grand display at Aug 20.

    • Budapest River Cruise November 20, 2019
      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!
