What a fabulous evening

Friendly welcome by staff and a glass of champagne as we got settled at our window table (we were a group of 4). I did this cruise about 12 years ago and we loved it but didn't know if it would be as good as we remembered. The food surpassed expectation - chicken starter, consommé, duck and panna cotta - every mouthful was perfectly cooked and tasty. The views were magnificent and the entertainment was really good but not intrusive. A highlight of our visit

Dinner on the Danube

We had an amazing time travelling on the boat at night seeing all the landmarks lit up. We sampled some great food, drink and live music. The service was well organised and first class. Recommended.

Good was to enjoy the night views of the city

The night time views of the illuminated city through the extended windows of the boat are spectacular. The decor on the boat’s interior was fantastic. The food was of good quality. I would point to two less impressive elements: the dinner delivery was very slow and the life music was American while I expected something local (tradicional Hungarian music). Also, the information about this attraction did not make it clear enough that only one drink was included in the price.
