Nice cruise on the river
Inspire822509,Mar 23, 2026

4.00I took the Purpleliner for a night cruise and I quite enjoyed it. The trip takes about 60 minutes, there's a bar inside, bathrooms and a very nice guide that really knows is stuff. He explained everything we could watch of relevance as we passed through, was very detailed, spoke in english with a great accent, very easy to understand and he didnt give up even though the passengers were very rude and kept speaking loud. I recomend it.

2.00Few seats and little view upstairs. To take pictures you had to stand together with other passengers in a small space

3.00Boat was nice, the staff were really friendly. Very organised. Main complaint was that the audio guide wasn't in sync with where we were on the river. Luckily it was our last day so we knew all the main attractions. Budget cruise which was a nice experience.
Would be better if it wasn’t for those blocking the views
Whitehouse72,Jan 20, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
3.00The views are fabulous however they were blocked by a constant stream of people taking photos. We had seats up front by the window and views were continuously blocked. It would be better if there was designated photo areas rather than allowing people to block the front area and the views of those seated inside. People beside us were banging on windows asking those outside to move. The audio guide was off track with the views which was confusing, was easier to listen to the guide on the app. Overall it was good, but was let down by the above mentioned points.
A Beautiful Winter Night on the River

5.00This was a very easy and relaxed cruise along the river. While there is plenty of seating the best seats are along the outer edge, the 1St floor covered bow and the rear. There offer excellent views of all the most loved monuments. The cruise team offer table service for drinks (coffee, tea, other). The cruise is kind enough to pause in front of the Parliament Building to allow plenty of picture taking. I can recommend this cruise. The time is only around an hour just to give you a taste which was perfect.
Danube ride as a couple

5.00Very good experience! Too bad that the weather did not accompany that you could appreciate well Parliament and the other views however the boat was very comfortable and punctual in terms of schedules. On the other hand the very friendly and professional staff, attended us: Vicente and Tibios, thank you very much to the two of you for resolving our doubts! From Katheryn and David.
Night time Boat cruise Budapest
tonyrav62,Jan 12, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00Boat booked for 8.15. It didn’t leave until 9.00. No messages given for this but assume to fill the boat up. Could barely hear audio at front of the boat. What you could pick was out of sync by a few minutes with the sights and the audio phone app you could download.
Silverline top!
