Since launching in 2022, Budapest’s original unlimited drinks sightseeing cruise has welcomed more than 550,000 guests aboard. Enjoy a relaxed Danube experience with panoramic views of Parliament, Buda Castle, Gellért Hill, Margaret Island, and Budapest’s famous bridges, including Parliament seen twice along the route.
What sets this cruise apart is the generous drinks selection and relaxed lounge atmosphere. Enjoy unlimited Hungarian sparkling wine and beer at the onboard bar, plus self-service Aperol, Hugo, Rossini, and Limoncello Spritzers. Homemade lemonade, lemon-mint water, and still water are also included.
During the 75-minute cruise, timed recorded English commentary and background music accompany the sightseeing experience. Choose between indoor lounge seating and open-air viewing areas, depending on the vessel and weather. This is a welcoming experience for couples, families, birthday celebrations, and groups of friends—not a nightclub or dance party.
