We did the silverline dinner cruise , the city night cruise which was a beautiful experience. You get a complimentary prosecco but a no host bar is available. The food was fine but the dessert was not a favorite for me. There was entertainment which was a representation of Hungarian culture and music. The dancers were good and talented. The staff especially Nora was very nice and helpful.
Nice experience!

We were really surprised by how good the food was on this cruise. It was much higher quality than we expected and both of us enjoyed everything that we ordered. The entertainment felt authentic and they were clearly very talented. It was quite loud so if we had known that we would likely have selected a table further from the stage. The night view of Budapest is unbelievable and we love the pictures that we took from the outside area.

Absolutely amazing boat trip, the service is outstanding, the food is so incredible, better than I could imagine for the great value. The entertainment was amazing. Highly recommend.

Seeing the city at night was spectacular. The views were breathtaking, and seeing both sides of the city lit up at night was terrific. This boat tour was one of the highlights of our trip. However, the food was uninspiring, and it would have been nice to know that if we wanted a window seat, that it had to be reserved in advance. This fact should be made clear when the tour is booked (included in the description of the tour).

The boat was nice but the electricity kept going out during our cruise. The food was not to our liking. The entertainment was fun!
Alice_D, Jun 2026
The boat, the food, the entertainment and the servers were great. They are forcing me to add more characters. 100 minimum🤦♀️
Sara_K, Jun 2026
The cruise is lovely and smooth. Dinner was tasty and delivered with good service. The lights emerge as the sun goes down and it was a spectacular display. We were blessed with perfect weather, but you could enjoy it even from inside the boat.

Our experiment with the dinner cruise was that it was on time departure, a good boat, good service, and great entertainment!

It’s a lovely evening, cruising the Danube and watching the lights of this amazing city go by. The entertainment of musicians, singers, and folklore dancers was wonderful fun. The staff was friendly and professional my granddaughter and I both had a lovely evening and highly recommend this trip.

Very enjoyable cruise. Well organized and really appreciated the music and dance shows. The two men were exceptional. The food was ok but given the price, good value. The buildings were very beautiful and deserved the night cruise.
