Overview

This 1-hour paddle steamer cruise on the Danube River in Budapest takes place aboard one of two historical vessels, the Kisfaludy or the Hableány. Both are faithful reproductions of 19th-century Hungarian paddle steamers with similar designs. The cruise offers panoramic views of the city’s landmarks from the water. A welcome drink is included with the cruise, either a glass of Tokaj Premium Frizzante or orange juice. Onboard, guests can access a free online audio guide available in 30 languages by scanning a QR code, so personal earphones are recommended. The boat includes restrooms, heated areas, blankets, umbrellas, and parasols. Seating is guaranteed but unassigned and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Pets on leashes are allowed. Payment for drinks and table service can be made by cash or card. Free Wi-Fi is available on board. Passengers must follow crew instructions and safety rules, and disruptive behavior is prohibited.
