Great boat trip on the Danube. The meal was very average, the soup????? and the starter was more than mediocre. The next two dishes were decent. On the Danube, extraordinary, nothing to complain about.

I liked the show the most. The musicians, dancers, and the singer all did a great job. I didn't like the food, but that's a matter of taste. But most of all, I didn't like that the menu wasn't available in Russian or Ukrainian. Just translating it is not enough; I'd like to understand what it actually is. They could have at least added pictures so you'd know what kind of dish you are ordering. Though the waitress was great—she really tried and did her best to explain the ingredients of each dish to us.

I loved the cruise. The dinner was okay; we didn't like the first course at all, but we were able to eat the rest of the dishes. However, the most important thing here wasn't the dinner, but the very pleasant two-hour ride and the beautiful photos I was able to take from the cruise.

An excellent addition to our stay in Budapest. Seeing the city at night from the river was fantastic. The dinner was great and the staff were fantastic.

Everything was very enjoyable. The warm welcome, great table on the top deck, lovely hostess staff, every dish was delicious and the wine was a reasonable price. The views of the early evening Buda and Pest with iconic landmarks moved into a fairyland - like bonanza of the lit up riverside and city buildings. Would definitely recommend the Premium dinner choice.

    This is a very small intimate cruise that is exceptional in all categories. The food was unbelievable, served to a small group hot and beautifully prepared. Drinks were top notch and the music was perfect, not to loud. I would adviseme anybody to take this cruise.
