Fabulous scenery & music - The music was excellent, about 6 musicians in 2 groups, front and back of the ship had a live band. They went outside, asked people what country they were from, and played that music. They even had a traditional dancer, and had the whole boat clapping. Scenery was gorgeous, they even stopped at the parliament building all lit up at night for great photos.

Great Evening Danube Cruise - The cruise exceeded our expectations as we peacefully sailed on the Danube sipping Prosecco and listening to great traditional music -- highly recommend

Night cruising. - This was exactly what we wanted. We didn’t do the dinner or drinks option. Or watch the show. It was all about the views for us. Shame it didn’t leave @ 7.30pm so it was just a little darker. But it was lovely 🥰

Lovely way to spend an evening on the Danube - Wonderful river cruise, the landmarks along the Danube looked beautiful, illuminated at night. Comfortable boat, great cocktails, excellent musicians and attentive staff. My only reason not to give 5* was there was no information of what we were cruising past.

Nice cruise, except for tips - We booked the cruise only version and it was well organized. Smooth boarding and super nice crew. I recommend coming earlier if you want to take an outside seat, cause its number is limited. Keep in mind that one of the outside decks is for smokers as well, so keep that in mind if you don't like smoke. The cruise itself went well, we have seen beautifully lighted up buildings and nice views. The only thing that was not great were live music guys who were traveling along the deck playing music towards them and asking for tips. It was uncomfortable, especially that many people didn't have any cash as the ship is said to be cashless. Besides that it was a nice experience, but I am not sure if I would do it again.

River cruise - Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, a little confusing joining/meeting point instructions. Also very confusing on board as some passengers were having a sit down meal, some were having a buffet and some weren’t doing either. Seemed a little disorganised but overall the cruise was fun with very good Hungarian entertainment:) A must do when visiting Budapest

Nice evening cruise - This was a very nice evening cruise with a welcome drink. There was no narration on the cruise, and the vessel traveled at a very slow pace. I did get to see the buildings all lit up after dark, which is what I went for.

Just a boat ride - I thought there was some kind of tour. It was truly a 45 minute ride down the Danube and back. Thought it was ok at best. Would not repeat
