Budapest Danube Cruise & Dinner with Live Music and Dance (apparently)

This began as a very pleasant trip on the Danube. A nice glass of champagne as we boarded was very welcome. The waiter was very attentive, although there were a couple of communication issues when ordering our drinks. The goulash was delicious, although definitely a soup, rather than a stew. No dessert offered with this option, which was disappointing. With hindsight we wish we had opted for the buffet, which would have meant being seated in a more pleasant area of the boat, with better entertainment (no dancing displays where we were seated in the bottom area of the boat). The buffet area had music, dancing displays and a much better view of the sights. By then end of the cruise we had become incredibly bored of the drab area we were seated in, the monotonous music and the fact that our waiter had clearly found something better to do! We couldn't wait to get off and the last ten minutes or so seemed like hours! Would not recommend our particular cruise options, but the buffet would have been much nicer.

Budapest dinner cruise

It was a good boat ride. We selected the buffet dinner and the food was ok, but plenty of it. The service was great and staff was helpful.

Ok cruise bad provider.

It was ok. But don't bother booking either this lot. The support, knowledge, description have all been rubbish. The cruise was fine but you don't get it cheaper by booking with viator.

Beautiful evening of entertainment, delicious food and wine 👌🏼

So much fun! The lady that gave us our wines had incredible knowledge. The dancers were friendly and come took photographs with us and did a fantastic job of entertaining. The musicians were brilliant and came and serenaded us and played my partner’s favourite Beatles song. And the food was incredible maybe a bit too much of it five courses but that’s hardly a bad thing!

Danube cruise in Budapest

We loved our Danube Cruise with dinner & entertainment so much that we had to return the second time. The food is amazing and the entertainment is top notch. It was the highlight of our trip.
