Christmas Eve Dinner & Cruise with live music

Let us invite you to our special Christmas Cruises on December 24 with real Christmas atmosphere!

Bring the spirit of Christmas a little closer with these special 2 hour cruises on 24 December. You will have the chance to try out all of the greatest dishes the Hungarian kitchen can offer, while enjoying traditional gypsy and folk music performed by three members of the world famous Rajkó Folk Ensemble and Orchestra to form an evening not soon forgotten.

Embrace the beauty of Budapest as your boat calmly sails along some of the most stunning sights in a truly festive mood. You will witness sights such as the House of Parliament, the majestic Chain Bridge and the Buda Castle with the Fisherman’s Bastion on the top of the Castle Hill, all dressed in their respective holiday lights.

As you try taking in the massive beauty, don’t forget about the delicious Christmas menu offered in fully packed buffet tables at the middle of the boat. Taste Hungarian traditional holiday dishes like the fish soup and stuffed cabbage or just stick with the well-known international favourites. Chef Peter Molnarka is fully prepared for the appetite of each and every guest on-board. Wash down the delicacies with the complimentary beverages and don’t miss the taste of the celebrated Hungarian palinka either!

During this 2 hour cruise you will be able to get full acquaintance with the stunning scenery of Budapest, the traditional local music scene and cuisine as you celebrate the Holy Night in the company of a friendly, international crowd.Christmas is a quiet day in Hungary, the shops are mainly closed, people hurry home to celebrate with their families and the whole country seems to stop and rest for a while in honour of the holy day.

Join us and cruise through the calm city swimming in beautiful holiday lights and experience the peaceful pleasure of Christmas Night!
