The Budapest panorama was added to the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO. One of the reasons these sites were selected is that the banks of the Danube at Budapest illustrate the various periods of the capital's history, and furthermore the city has one of the world's outstandingly beautiful urban cityscapes. The World Heritage site inscribed in 1987 stretched from the Chain Bridge (Clark Ádám Square) to the Technical University on the Buda side - an area containing the Gellért Baths, Mt. Gellért with its Freedom Monument and the Citadella, and also the building ensemble of the Buda Castle.
Budapest has many faces. This vibrant city calms down a little bit at nights, lights are lit up, and a new city comes out from the twilight. We created this program for those who would like to enjoy the wonderful view of the city swimming in lights in a romantic candlelight atmosphere, and have a romantic dinner on a boat with live music. The meals are prepared by European, and world champion food sculptor, Attila Tanács, who is a true artist. He adds a creative touch to the already outstanding Hungarian and international cuisine served on our ships, placing emphasis on the harmony of color and form.
The salon music is performed by 3 members of the Zoltán Kodály Awarded Hungária Folk Orchestra, including the world-famous violinist Zsigmond Vidak who was awarded the Bronze Merit Cross of the Hungarian Republic.
We will take you on a 1,5-hour-long cruise on one of our air-conditioned ships. After dinner you can also admire the panorama from the open upper deck of the ship.
Our Dinner & Cruise program with live music is also available without dinner. If you book a cruise only with drinks, you can enjoy the beautiful night panorama over a glass of champagne and another glass of soft drink, wine or beer.
There is a possibility for extra drink consumption on the ships, not included in the price.

It gets harder and harder to smile when we unwrap the umpteenth pair of socks or some other similarly unimaginative gift. Holidays, birthdays and anniversaries shouldn't be about hastily purchasing a predictable gift for our friends and family. In the past few decades studies have suggested that the joy one feels when receiving material presents, even if they are the long desired smart phone or a super expensive pair of designer shoes, doesn't last very long, especially when compared to experience gifts.

“A romantic evening”
Reviewed May 1, 2013
My husband and I took a Danube Dinner Ship Cruise which included live Music. It was not only romantic but truly spectacular, with the night lights and panoramic views on both sides of the River. The Parliament building viewed from the boat was breathtaking. There was a wide choice of food and drinks and the band was excellent.

Beautiful, grand and unspoilt. Had a wonderful dinner and cruise, just missed seeing most the trip as we were so busy with the wonderful food and stunning music going on inside.

“Remember to take a night cruise!”
We had a dinner cruise on the wintery February. Dinner was buffet styled with two alcoholic drinks on the lower deck which is covered, hence, we were protected from the chill. We had typical Hungarian dinner from goulash to strudels for desserts. There were some entertainers playing strings and singing. Above the deck of the cruise, we had an opportunity to take great pictures of the Parliment house, the Buda Castle and other night scenes of Budapest, braving the cold. Coming from a tropical country, it is an eye-opener to see ice sheets on the river and ice-breaking when the cruise passed through the river. The cruise lasted about an hour and half. The food was forgettable but the experience of the cruise on the Danube river was exceptional!

“Beautiful!”
All along the Danube is breath taking. A dinner cruise is well worth it! We went on the dinner with live music cruise at 1900hrs. It was 10400 Ft (around $50 for adults). Food was fantastic, music was great, and the sights amazing after nightfall!

This was excellent seeing all the sights along the Danube lit up. We only had drinks so can't comment on the meal but was worth it just for the trip.
