Loud music, young people, unlimited beer and prosecco, friendly crew. Budapest is so beautiful in sunset.

The environment was great to make friends! We made friends with a group of travelers and ended up hanging out with them for the rest of the weekend. This cruise completely made our trip!
Prosecco was constantly flowing and always easily accessible. Minimal seating, don't wear heals. Mostly a 20s-30s crowd. Cute clothes, but nothing fancy needed.
Mignon_D, Jul 2026
it was a lovely evening to cruise the river and see the sights. had fun and enjoyed a glass of wine.
MARK_H, Jul 2026
The proseco was bottomless. The cruise itself was very nice at night but way too many younger people wrestling for position on the top deck.
Alexandra_S, Jul 2026
The staff were friendly and the drinks were good for the money. However, we had a night cruise and failed to even go past the parliament lit up, instead going down river for an extended time and then missing sailing past the parliament, the reason we booked the night cruise.

We’re very sorry to hear your experience did not meet expectations. Although we are unable to control when the city buildings are lit up, we can understand the frustration of it not being lit up when we go by. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will use your comments to improve our cruises for the future.

The drinks were limitless with staff offering refills but the crowd was very noisy. The boat started out with a short loop to the north where we were able to view the Parliament Building in daylight. Then it turned south as the sun set and darkness descended. Unfortunately on the northward trip it did not pass again in front of the fully lit Parliament Building which is what we most wanted to see. It would be better if the southward loop was shorter and a pass in darkness in front of the Parliament Building was made, since it can’t be viewed in full from the shore. Would have rated the cruise higher if this had been the case.

When they say unlimited they mean unlimited! I highly highly recommend this tour because it is not only fun to drink & meet people but you also get a beautiful view of Budapest at night. This tour was a much bigger than expected but we all fit in the boat confortabely and they were enough proceso to go around. When happens is you walk on the boat, get a glass of proceso and then just go back to the bar each time you want a refill. There are also servers with pitchers walking around. So much fun!
Hailey_S, Jul 2026
We had a great experience! The boat is not fancy, but it had a good amount of seating and the rooftop standing space was great for seeing both sides of the river. They refilled drinks quickly and had a nice variety of basic cocktails available.

Don’t be fooled by the description, this is not some romantic river cruise with an accompanying Prosecco. It’s a hen party/stag do rave party boat. It is great fun however.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your review. The cruise is unlimited prosecco and this time of year we are busy with parties of all kinds. We always take comments and reviews to improve in the future.
Janice_R, Jun 2026
We had the best time on the boat. Seeing all the buildings and then going back and seeing them lit up again was spectacular. I just wished we had passed parliament one more time while it was all lit up but the proseco was flowing in all different flavours. It was fabulous!!! Highly highly recommend !
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Yay! We love to hear that you had a great time on our cruise. We can never get enough of the views on the river, and wish we could go by the parliament over and over. We are so happy that our staff was able to keep your drink topped up. We are excited to see you again in the future.
Liliana_G, Jun 2026
Good value, however, it was however, quite crowded with young college age peoplePerfect for a younger crowd.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We are glad you enjoyed our cruise. Since it is summer we do have busier boats, and anyone over the age of 18 is allowed onboard. But we do take feedback seriously so we will take your comments to improve for the future.
Ray_F, Jun 2026
Excellent day out would highly recommend it. Great changing facilities, well kept and clean. Very clean site
Susan_M, Jun 2026
The boat was FULL of young people (all of legal drinking age). I enjoy house music or EDM music but if that isn't your taste you may not like this activity. The people, both guests and workers, were very nice.
They kept our glasses full and have a large variety of juices to choose from if you want to add juice to your Prosecco.
The one other thing is if you do this in the summer you will not see the Parliament lit up, you pass it early in the cruise. The sites later in the cruise are beautiful when the sun fully sets after 8:30.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We are so happy you enjoyed the cruise! Depending on the day we do have cruises later in the evening so you can see the sights lit up. We hope to see you again soon.
Kat_S, Jun 2026
Great space. Free flowing drinks. Amazing views.
A little chaotic while queuing to get on but that settled. A really nice experience.
Calan_B, Jun 2026
Good and stuff great at being good. Very good in the best ways. Unbelievably well. Phenomenally pleasant
DianeS_H, Jun 2026
This is a booze cruise - not the calm educational cruise down the Danube that I expected. We still had a great time (I’m still recovering from our night out with 2 American 20 year olds) but know what you’re getting into. The boat is rickety, the drinks are god awful, there’s plenty of them and the music is blaring. If you are looking for a party, this is the place to be. If you want to enjoy the sights and learn something, go elsewhere.
Emma_B, Jun 2026
So much fun mostly young but some adults and the workers walk around the whole time and offer refills with Aperol, mimosas, billinis, etc
Claire_W, Jun 2026
Enjoyed seeing the views from the river by night. Music was quite loud so it was hard to chat, but maybe I’m just getting old. Drinks free as advertised but the queues at the bar took a while. They did remake some of the Prosecco cocktails and leave in jugs near the front of the boat but these were a little flat.
A good mix of age ranges. Though some of the younger people were just downing as much free booze as possible which added to the noise.
Queue to embark was quite long when we arrived at 19:30 and got longer. We just about managed a seat. Make sure you get there early if you want to sit down.
For the price it was ok but I wouldn’t do it again.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for coming on our cruise. We always review customer comments to make sure we are always improving our boats for the future. We do have 2 bars for refills and staff walking arround to refill your glasses. We are sorry this was not your experience.
Rose_S, Jun 2026
We went on the 6 pm tour , not too many people . Very nice e and friendly crew . Easy to get drinks and as many as one like and very tasty but not too strong ,which was good .i liked the music and it was not too loud . No guide talking just music . We are an older couple but we liked it a lot . Highly recommend
Kristopher_Z, Jun 2026
Boat was big enough to accommodate everyone. Room to both sit (more people sitting in the front) and move around (dancing and mingling in the back). Know your limit, because as the information denotes: it is UNLIMITED PROSECCO!! They had some fun mixes (Bellini, Blue Bellini, black currant prosecco, mimosa, etc.)
One or two lads were over served, but security kept them in check.
Recommend the cruises after sundown so you can see the lights on the city.
Very good way to either pre-game a night out or enjoy the city.
CK_V, Jun 2026
Fun on the Danube! Nice views and perfect place to view the sites, meet people of diverse cultures, drink good cocktails, and celebrate Budapest.
Kevin_C, Jun 2026
A nice way to spend a warm, late spring night. Lots of folks onboard, but drinks were flowing, the night skyline was beautiful, and it was a very good time.
Judith_C, Jun 2026
Although my family & I had fun on this cruise, I would not recommend it for people of “a certain age”. Yes, the prosecco flowed freely & abundantly, but this cruise is better suited for college age people, not people of my age (i.e., >40), unless you enjoy a “booze cruise”. One other tidbit, if you take this cruse during the summer, go after 8:30 otherwise you won’t see the buildings lit up at night.
Shanna_A, May 2026
You pass the parliament building in the daylight so it is strange the main picture advertising the tour is at night. Also, the prosecco was no where to be found and was replaced with a very lite alcoholic juice. First time I have taken a tour like this and not been buzzed when I get off the boat.
Response from Host, May 2026
We’re very sorry to hear your experience did not meet expectations. We have multiple tours throughout the day and evening, and in the summer months the sun sets later in the evenings, so only the later boats would see the parliament lit up at night. We do have prosecco cocktails being served around the boat, and strait prosecco can always we found at our 2 bars. That being said we appreciate you bringing this to our attention and would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further. Please contact us directly so we can make things right.
Joe_R, May 2026
It was so beautiful seeing all the buildings at sunset. Drink options were also plentiful and so yummy!
ANDREW_S, May 2026
When we arrived at the dock 45 mins before the start time. we was told to line up in a particular queue but there was another queue that was let on first. We wanted to see the parliament building lit up, and was told that the boat would do a loop 3 times so will see the parliament building lit up. In fact it was 1 loop then docked, I questioned why we docked to the same person who told me it was 3 loops of the river. They said we had done 3 loops and passed the parliament building lit up, which was a lie. I explained that I do not drink alcohol and was sober so I know what is going on, unlike the rest of the boat who had been drinking the unlimited alcohol. They said sorry but was not happy having being told a blatant lie to my face
Response from Host, May 2026
We are very sorry to hear about your experience. There are two boats sharing the same dock and board around the same time, so that other queue you saw was for another boat for another company. We are sorry for any miscommunication, we do not do 3 loops, it is one big loop, meaning that we would pass Parliament two times. We are unsure who gave you the incorrect information. We always take comments seriously, and will take your feedback to help improve for the future.
Nikki_M, May 2026
Very crowded; competition for seats is stiff; staff were helpful; drinks provided when arrived on board and replenished often; increasingly summer daylight meant it could have departed later so one could see the city lights better
Ashley_C, May 2026
the only reason this gets 2 stars is because i made a great friend on the cruise. this is advertised as “sip and sail” which makes it sound like a relaxing river cruise, until you get your ticket and you realize its a party boat and by then its too late to cancel which seems intentional. complete false advertising. i was expecting a calm, beautiful view dinner-type cruise (obviously no actual dinner but that feel) and ended up dealing with a man wearing an “i ❤️ sl*ts” shirt dancing around and making out with an inflatable naked woman (yes im being serious). completely false advertising and was not an hour an half. would not recommend unless you are looking for a party cruise and i was not the only one caught off guard by the fact it was a party cruise.

The views at night are stunning. Budapest along the Danube is amazing. Cruise itself was very crowded, which made taking photos of the sights complicated to say the least. But the servers did a good job of refilling your glass in spite of the crowds.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted you enjoyed the cruise and found our team so friendly. We are coming into summer season so there will be more people coming to the boat, but we are always looking to improve and will take your comments to improve in the future. We hope to welcome you back to Budapest soon!
Susan_w, May 2026
Definitely a booze cruise, with a ship full of 20-35 year olds and girls clamoring to take selfies. My spouse and I were by far the oldest couple on board. That being said, we really enjoyed the cruise - the views of Budapest at night were spectacular and for those more focused on the free flowing booze, you'll find you're in the right spot for that as well! Excellent staff and bartenders.
