Our dock is located on the riverside near Elizabeth Bridge, directly in front of the Marriott Hotel. Look for a large blue and white number 7 sign at the entrance.

A great way to ease into vacation - We did this as our only activity on the day we arrived. I figured we had to eat dinner. It was a perfect leisurely way to start our trip. The food and service was great. There were options for most types of diets. There's a wellbeing view from everywhere on the boat and Budapest by night from the river is very pretty. The music was nice but a little too loud. Worth every penny.

Stand out night for our 4 day trip. Highly recommend! - Arrived early and it was nice to get settled.
Just before push back the prettiest young hostess asked us if we’d like to move from the center isle to the railing as another guest didn’t arrive. Being our anniversary celebration this felt like Devine intervention and was greatly appreciated. The service from all of the staff was excellent. All the girls seemed to hustle about always with a smile. The views and sunset on the Danube were spectacular to say the least. The food was way above average for what we expected and the live music gave a real party atmosphere to the evening. Highly recommended!

Great cruise - Great night. Easy to walk to the meeting point from our hotel it took about 13 minutes. We were on the top deck which was good being in the fresh air because when we went to the bottom deck it was really hot and I don't think I'd have liked to have been down there for over 2 hours sitting in that.
Meal could have had more choice with vegetarian options etc but it was a decent meal and wasn't rushed between courses. Welcome drink was a nice touch with the option to purchase more if you wanted to. The live singers were good, a mix of Hungarian songs and more well-known songs so added to the experience. It was a very relaxing night seeing the sights at night all lit up. I'd recommend it but as it's traditional Hungarian food if you're a little limited with the food you like, then you might not eat a lot. Things on the menu were things like smoked trout, beef tartar, pork bone marrow soup, etc. I really didn't like the soup, but it's preference. Overall, it was a very enjoyable night, which added to us being away in Budapest but a little expensive, but I'd still do it again

Budapest at night - It's fantastic opportunity to see Budapest during the night time. Good dinner with some drinks. Parliament iluminated was the best for me.

The best restaurant experience on the water and land for a great price. - The cruise was fantastic! Excellent value, the food was delicious with lovely presentation and the service was friendly. Needles to say that seeing Budapest at night, you will easily think that Budapest is one the most beautiful cities in Europe. The music was lovely but a little too low to hear, which is better than when it's too loud. The musicians could have interacted a little more. I highly recommend this cruise.

Nice Experience - Staff could be more attentive - Nice experience, food was good. Soup was interesting probably not my taste. We were on the upper deck so didn't really see waiters outside of changing courses which made it difficult to order drinks. Last couple of courses felt rushed with a long gap between 2nd and 3rd course.
