A 4-course dinner on a warm candlelit table as you sail past the glowing monuments of Budapest under the night sky is an experience not to miss.

Highlights

  • Indulge in a 2.5-hour candlelit dinner cruise through Budapest’s landmarks, complete with a welcome drink and stunning views.

  • Enjoy a 4-course meal featuring starters like chili scallops, garlic shrimp, cherry cream soup, or pork consomme, leading to hearty main dishes.

  • Savor a creamy mushroom risotto, rosemary duck, or flaky roasted trout, and finish with decadent desserts like panna cotta or a rich brownie.

  • As the glowing Buda Castle and lush Margaret Island pass by, soft live music onboard sets a charming mood for your dining experience.

  • Fun fact: Chain Bridge, one of the sights you’ll pass by on the cruise, has two lion statues at each end. The catch? Their tongues are missing!

A treat for the senses

A sail along the Blue Danube with a 4-course candlelit dinner and cozy live music playing in the background is arguably the best way to catch some of Budapest’s sights luxuriously. With a welcome drink in hand, board the cruise and explore the decks to secure your spot for the night. Stars gleaming in the sky and monuments like the Buda Castle and Vigado Concert Halls lit up like jewels in the dark will leave you stunned. Sway to the live music as you pass the stone lions of Chain Bridge and the Citadella perched above Gellert Hill.

Time to dig in

As the flickering and warm light of candles set the mood, dinner will be served. Choose from garlic shrimp, chili scallops, chicken with brie, and more as your appetizer, and enjoy a warm bowl of cherry cream soup or pork consomme. Mains will be a hearty affair with mouth-watering options like roasted trout, tuna steak, beef confit, mushroom risotto, rosemary duck with layered sweet potatoes, and more. Lip-smacking desserts like a gooey brownie, a rich chocolate cake with strawberry ragout, or a panna cotta with rose jam await to end your dinner on a sweet note.
