We actually had a great cruise. I wasn't sure when we approached Dock 10 as it had less presence than others but it was great. Boarded 10 min before departure time, there is a seating area where they keep you till that time. Good amount of outdoor seating (uncovered) and tables have QR codes to bar and audio guide. The glazed guarding was high and we didn't find it too blustery, was relatively calm. Had a couple of glasses of wine from tge var too, was brought to our table!

It was just as I thought it would be, romantic, you had the most amazing views and a blanket if you needed. Would definitely recommend. A four star as the drink provided was the worse drink ever - hardly anyone finished it!

A great river cruise experience, not overcrowded, table service and an opportunity to see some of the riverside attractions. A free welcome drink provided and a bar on board for refreshments along the way. Would recommend this Danube river cruise as a pleasant thing to do in Budapest. Loved it! 😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The boat was spotlessly clean, it had complimentary drinks on board, we boarded right across from the hotel, there was Turkish translation available via headphones, it was a fantastic experience on the banks of the Danube River, definitely book from here.

Beautiful hour spent on the Danube at dusk going into early evening. The change of light makes it even more breathtaking.

Doing the night cruise with the Duna Cruiser was undoubtedly one of the most special moments of the trip. Seeing Budapest lit at night, directly from the Danube, is simply unforgettable!! Consider an unforgettable experience in the city. The cruise climate is super elegant and quiet, perfect for slowing down and enjoying the view calmly. Passing through iconic spots such as the illuminated Parliament and the bridges of the city creates a surreal landscape, of those we are just admiring. The experience is very well organized, comfortable and with attentive care, which makes everything even more pleasant. It’s that kind of tour that doesn’t seem too touristic, it’s more of an experience. We suggest you do it at night time because the view is beautiful. The boat departed at the scheduled time and includes a glass of sparkling or juice, in addition to having audio guide in several languages including Portuguese, also selling drinks on board.

I liked it, the boat was very cute, but they have little room outside and at night from inside you can not take pictures because the glass reflects.
