We booked the night time, three course meal with the pianist, upper deck, rather than the lower deck Hungarian folk dancers.
Boarded at 19.30 and returned at just after 22.00. All tables have window views, but going outside to take pictures is the best. Don't sit too close to the pianist as it's loud.
The food was ok but the cocktails made up for it. Fantastic way to see Budapest at night.

We enjoy the service of Silverline Cruises with my foreign guests. We usually take the live folklore evening cruise (show) with Dinner and Hungarian Gipsy music. Food is O. K. Excellent wines. Unforgettable evening cruise with illuminated city view. The staff is helpful, the boat is clean and nicely furnitured. :-)

The city with the night's lights it's amazing, suggestive and clearly the parliament is the most beautiful thing you're gonna see aboard the cruise, and I'd also like to thanks the staff which has been exquisite. The guys that works aboard are young and passionate, furthermore when I had the cruise it happened that a guy with his group started to sing ( at the very end of the journey) the song "Bella ciao" attracting the attention of us people who were recording with the phone. When they stop to sing and the people applauded the stuff put the song with the speakers and it's been a very great moment!! cause everybody started to sing again and I can easily say that everyone there had good time, also cause people who work there know how to make their costumers enjoy the experience.

This is NOT worth the time and money. There are so many other choices for cruises. This is NOT the one to pick.
The boat wasn't the one pictured and barely seemed sea-worthy. Most of the people weren't on the pizza and beer cruise. There was an English audio guide playing in the background but everyone was talking so we couldn't hear it.
At the halfway mark, the boat pulled into a dock and the pizzas were delivered. Pretty cold. We were handed the boxes.

bought tickets in advance. went to deck 15 minutes prior to cruise. at least 30 people waiting in line. rainy and very cold evening (at 17:45pm) lady told us to go to end of the line. or pay 15 euros for drinks so we could get in directly? waited 10 minutes and went back to the lady(everyone waiting was having tickets prepaid) asked her why not letting us inside the boat?what is the sense paying in advance? she said we have to wait... refused to wait and wanted to go inside the boat. she called the manager and let the people go inside. very crowded with kids crying; no info; only looking around, very boring(may be good to do in warmer weather outside the boat)

We tried booking this online but we couldn’t since the only payment gateway we could have chosen was PayPal and I do not have a paypal account. We just walked to their deck and book a ticket over the counter. I think this is the best cruise of Budapest for sightseeing. It is clean and specious. They do serve good alcohol but the food wasn’t great. I would not recommend people to choose their pizza especially. The guy at the ticket counter was very nice and helped us get a discount on the ticket.

Very poorly organized. If you are there earlier, you will be sent away again, because there is actually no place to wait on the terribly bad road right next to the busy main road. Nevertheless, the boarding then takes forever. The staff seemed slightly overwhelmed and not particularly friendly. The drinks of our seatmates were only served very late and they then had to drink quite quickly, because the promised 60 minutes of the journey were not kept either.
The illuminated buildings have saved it despite everything and probably you should not expect too much at the price (€ 14).

You get what you pay for.
As long as you read the description with what cruise you want regarding commentary etc you’ll be fine,
We paid £9pp for 1 hours.
Boat goes up and down and you see all the big buildings lit up, go @ 7 to make sure you don’t miss the buildings being lit up.
We sat on the top view was fine, staff quick with drinks and they were reasonably priced.
Could also order fries etc downstairs

Beautiful cruise that allows you to see the most iconic points of Budapest, better to do it in the evening hours to enjoy the illuminated city. The idea of an audio guide with an app that activates automatically based on your position is excellent (remember your headphones!). Very affordable bar prices

Myself and my partner went on a river cruise along the Danube at night with a pizza and unlimited beer included in the ticket price. What an amazing trip. Would absolutely recommend especially at night. The historic buildings lit up are so beautiful. The staff are super friendly on the river cruise and the atmosphere was great. Music playing in the background to give it a party feeling. The pizzas are huge and delicious 🤤 the best 70 minutes of my Budapest trip.

Is it worth paying for unlimited drinks or are the prices reasonable? We are planning to go for the Christmas eve dinner.

If I purchase an online ticket does it have to be validated by someone before I can board the boat?
How regularly does it sail?
Does anyone know the times it goes?
Written November 20, 2019
do you have to book the cruises in advance for November or can you just turn up at the dock.
Written November 13, 2019
It's better to book online, and I had done it on the same day. Sometimes on weekends availability could be an issue.

Hello! How is e-ticket looks like? Are there any QR-code or bar code? Because after buying online tickets, I’ve received only booking and order numbers and check. Is it what I need to show before boarding?

Hello! I've seen a fair amount of people comment about the "cruise & drinks only". Could someone please direct me to this information, specifically the price and the offerings? We're visiting end of August and would love to take the cruise and enjoy drinks but not dinner! Thank you!!
Best,
Laura

ciao posso chiederti consigli su quale battello scegliere?mi piacerebbe alle 22 ma non so se a febbraio sono disponibili o bisogna andare solo su quello delle 18,30.comunque dove mi consigli di acquistare i biglietti?in hotel ,negli stand,on-line.vorrei fare quello con la cena a bordo e musica,sai quanto costa?vedo tanti tipi di crociera con cena io penso che quella a buffet sia migliore,credo....tanti prezzi diversi ma non capisco una parola di inglese mi aiuteresti?parto mercoledì grazie infiniteeee

Io ho fatto la crocera con cena e(non a buffet) musica fal vivo.Come ho scritto nella mia recenzione e' un'attrazione tipicamente turistica,comunque nell'insieme e' stata una bella serata. Ho prenotato prima della partenza tramite il sito, una volta arrivato a Budapest sono andato a vedere dove fosse l'imbarco(se non sbaglio il molo n.9 propio sotto il ponte elisabetta) e li mi hanno detto che la crocera con cena si puo'iniziare o alle 18,30 o alle 20,00, io ho scelto le 20 e una volta salito a bordo ho capito che chi era salito prima faceva due volte il giro dal ponte Marghetita al palazzo delle arti e chi come me era salito alle 20 faceva un solo giro,tutto il resto rimaneva invariato. Il cibo e'buono,il servizio buono(mi hanno mamdato una cameriera che parlava italiano) le bevute sono da pagarsi a parte a fine cena.Non e'troppo a buon mercato(mi pare 49 euro a testa)a Budapest con questa cifra si mangia nei ristoranti piu'recensiti in due, ma comumque nell'insieme e'da consigliare
