  • Glide past the striking Parliament Building, the neo-Gothic Matthias Church, the majestic Buda Castle, and other landmarks as they come alive under the night sky.

  • Experience the soul of Hungarian culture onboard with live folk music performed by the talented Rajkó Folk Orchestra.

  • Revel in the comfort of air-conditioned cabins and a selection of purchasable drinks onboard.

  • Fun fact: The majestic stone lions on the Chain Bridge, connecting Buda and Pest, caused quite a stir! The sculptor proudly declared them flawless, but when someone claimed they had no tongues, he was so embarrassed he allegedly jumped into the Danube. (Spoiler: they actually do have tongues; they are just not easily visible from below!)
