Escape the holiday rush and spend quality time with your loved ones aboard a unique, heart-warming Danube River Cruise in Budapest. This is your chance to enjoy a magical night together, surrounded by the festive lights of the city. Sound tempting? Don’t wait – book your Christmas Cruise in Budapest today and leave the holiday stress behind!

Looking for the perfect gift or an unforgettable evening? Our Christmas Dinner Cruise offers both! Boarding begins 30 minutes before the 7:30 PM departure, where you’ll embark on a night of stunning views, delicious food, and live music. As you drift along the Danube, you’ll savor a four-course Christmas dinner, accompanied by live piano music and the enchanting voice of a singer. It’s a night designed to help you relax and enjoy the season’s charm. But that’s not all – the illuminated cityscape of Budapest creates an unforgettable backdrop, ensuring this cruise becomes a lifetime memory.

Imagine this: The boat is elegantly decorated for Christmas, soft piano melodies fill the air, and the city’s twinkling lights surround you. Sip on some of Hungary’s finest wines by candlelight while soaking in the festive atmosphere. And it’s not just the boat that’s dressed for the holidays – from late November, Budapest transforms with glittering Christmas lights, from snowflakes to stars and pine trees, turning the streets into a winter wonderland.

During the cruise, you’ll pass iconic landmarks such as the Fisherman’s Bastion, the Parliament, and Buda’s historic sites like the Castle and Citadel. The Hungarian Parliament, one of the largest in the world, is a stunning example of 19th-century architecture, while the ancient stones of Buda Castle date back over 700 years. As you glide along the river, the illuminated bridges – both old and new – provide breathtaking views that are perfect for your holiday celebration.

Christmas only comes once a year, so why not make it unforgettable with a Budapest Christmas Cruise? We offer cruises on both December 24th and 25th, but spots are limited, so be sure to book early to secure your place on this beautiful event.

Hungarian cuisine is renowned worldwide, and your four-course Christmas dinner on board is a showcase of the country’s festive specialties – all included in the cruise price. And what’s a meal without a great drink? Pair each course with hand-selected Hungarian wines, ensuring your evening is as delicious as it is memorable.
