Szia,
is there any glutenfree food available?
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!

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!

Dear Vito,
