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!)
