The last minute sunset cruise

Published on Feb, 2025

We were looking for a cruise seeing as we didn’t book online and hoped that we could get tickets up front. During our search we stopped in front of the Silverline cruise and were about to buy 2 tickets online but a very friendly worker, Vincent, came up to us and helped us get them up front in cash. He explained everything and told us the pros and cons of the time difference (we did the 16:30 cruise to see the sunset). Thanks to him we were able to enjoy a 60 min cruise on the Danube and we got to see the sunset as well as the city at night with the lights. The most memorable sight was the parliament house in its yellow lights and the bridge lighting up in the Hungarian colours. I would definitely recommend this cruise especially as it was worth its price (we paid 22€).

Lovely cruise up and down the Danube. Really enjoyed the way you can download the commentary in your own language and it activates as you approach each landmark.

The boat is comfy, but...

Published on Oct, 2024

The boat is comfy, but it’s very cold at night so make sure you’re wearing proper clothes, the stuff is very kind and helping. The French jazz music really sets the mood, we also got hot chocolate which made the experience 10 times better. Overall it was the best part of our trip, alongside the chairlift in Budapest, thank you so much
