The whole experience was superb. Looked after from the moment you walk onboard. Food - Fantastic array and beautifully presented ( Loved the Margarita cocktails) Sights at night - mesmerising. Ambiance was delightful with a superb violinist. Would definitely do it all again.

Reviews
Highest level of service we received throughout our entire trip to Europe. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. They kept coming by to ask if we needed anything else. Atmosphere was beautiful, great music, a really fabulous night all around.
Genuinely top class, there is cheaper cruises but this one is more than a few levels above the rest.
Excellent experience! High end quality ship and a great visual tour around the highlights of Budapest. Food was good also and the lady violinist kept everyone entertained. This is also probably the only cruising we may be doing as the river is too low for the Viking ships on the Danube.
We had a very happy time there. They treated us very well, handed us a bubbly glass to start, and kept up with drinks. I thought they were going to charge (just a few spritzers) but did not. The food had a lot of variety. It was raining like crazy, but all was good once inside. One issue - Bolt was 100% not available that evening, I guess due to demand. We used the subway to get closer to the boat.
Such a great experience for my wife and I while visiting Budapest for our anniversary. Firstly on arrival you are welcomed on board by the captain and taken to your seat by your waiter. If possible they try to give you a window seat which I found to be a nice touch. As the drinks are included I thought they might not offer them much but that was completely wrong, the waiter was always on hand if you was in need. The food was very tasty with plenty of options but my only criticism is that it all came up at the same time so I had salad first and by the time I had the hot food it was no longer hot. You get some great views of Budapest at night and they provided blankets up on the viewing deck. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting.
Itt was very good, i can suggest to everybody
Had a very good time. Everything was amazing, from the food to the ambiance, to the wine and the dancing! Would recommend!
This was most enjoyable. The food was delicious and the violinist was outstanding. The staff and servers were most hospitable and friendly.
Beautiful cruise taking in all the amazing scenery along the edge of the Danube. Lots of different foods to choose from. I especially enjoyed the goulash soup and the desserts! The staff were very accommodating. I didn’t like the alcoholic cocktails that were on offer, but asked them to add vodka to the midnight passion non alcoholic which they were happy to do. There was a violinist playing all evening which added to the ambience. All in all, a very enjoyable evening and a great start to our weekend away.
Beautiful boat to travel up and down the Danube River at night and see all the beautiful lighted buildings. Decent dinner spread and wonderful waitress, Esther, who was engaging and kept us well hydrated. Great night on the river with friends.
Get to dock early for boarding. Boat is large, very clean & beautifully laid out. Staff very welcoming and good selection of food on buffet menu. Cocktails limited but plenty of other drink choices. Food on buffet comes up on a platform through the floor midship, amazing! However, would benefit from some order to obtain food & possibly one course at a time instead of starters & mains together. There was a massive surge of people to get dinner. By the time we got to the buffet, food was barely warm. It did not spoil the evening as there was good live music played by a violinist, modern songs & plenty of time to take in sights from windows or upper deck. Food was tasty too. Would benefit from more waiting staff as had to wait a while for drink & refills.
Very nice experience. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was good and the length of the cruise was perfect. I would recommend.
Absolutely amazing experience the boat was luxurious, the views were stunning. The service was excellent. The food was great. The cocktails were possibly the best I’ve ever tasted and freeflowing only slight issue. Was there two boats leave from one pier and it’s not well marked which queue to get in.
Started so well, beautiful venue, lovely atmosphere. Staff were very friendly. Buffet style food was delicious. Drinks were served to your table. Violinist was so talented excellent music throughout the evening. Deducted one star as towards the end of the cruise (about 30 mins) we ordered a drink, 10 minutes later the drinks hadn’t arrived so we ordered from a different waiter again we waited about 15 mins and ordered again from yet another waiter drinks arrived about 5 minutes later. We were very disappointed as everything else was so good. Staff seemed to drop the ball towards end of the cruise.
I book this river cruise and it was excellent choice. Food was delicious. Drinks were top notch. Music was romantic. I definitely recommend this .thank you to all the employees who serve prepared our meals and drinks . And the lady playing music.
This was an incredible evening dinner cruise from the boarding the boat with violist & welcome drink of prosecco. The ambience was nothing short of fabulous wonderful night to remember in Budapest . Our waiter Joe took amazing care of us making sure that we didn’t miss anything. Thank you Joe you were so kind. The food was amazing & top notch. Would not hesitate to do it again & recommend to our friends traveling to Budapest. Kim & John from California
We were greeted with a glass of Prosecco and led to a table near the bar next to a window. There was an assortment of breads and a bowl of Hummus at the table. About 25 minutes into the cruise, Hungarian Ghoulash was served, buffet style. The main dinner was also buffet style with many options to choose from, including chicken, beef, pork and fish. Entertainment consisted essentially of 70's yacht rock with a violinist playing along in the song. The food and entertainment were good, not great. The service, atmosphere, ride on the Danube and views were outstanding. If the food was served hot and to the table, it would have been that much better. Still, an evening to remeber.
Great experience start to finish. Beautifully presented ship, lovely friendly staff and service, excellent food and superb musical performance
Excellent experience - much higher quality than other boat cruises. Delicious food, beautifully decorated boat and violinist excellent. Not crowded. Would highly recommend.
Excellent river cruise night with lovely food and drinks We sat next to the window and I would recommend to arrive early. Music was good and relaxing.
The Cruise was beautiful. Beautiful Boat, Excellent views, Michelin Star food in my opinion. Absolutely delicious. Drinks by the plenty. Music backed by a fabulous violinist. Nearly 3 hours on board, with friendly helpful staff. I would do this over and over again. A real treat.
It was a lovely experience really a highlight of our trip. Great value for money. Live entertainment of modern violinist was outstanding.
Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! The buffet had a great variety of delicious food. Having dinner prepared by this excellent kitchen team made the evening feel truly special. The unlimited drinks were a huge bonus. Cocktails, spirits, beers, wines to prosecco or non-alcoholic options - there was something for everyone. The live music created a wonderful atmosphere throughout the evening, and the views were simply breathtaking. Seeing the iconic Hungarian Parliament Building from the Danube was unforgettable and we got some amazing photos of the Citadel from the dock. Seeing one of Budapest’s most famous bridges from such a unique perspective was another highlight. A perfect combination of great food, drinks, music and spectacular Budapest views. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable evening in the city!
Such a lovely experience 😍 Every detail is very well thought of, the absolutely charming music choice to the caring service. Would love to be back ☺️
Great food great wine great music! Buffet was full of good things and the wines were of good quality. Not cheap plonk!
This is a new ship that offers air conditioning or open air dining. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food offered is an excellent array of choices and the music is such that almost everyone would enjoy. Ours was a violinist who did contemporary hit music from the 70s on. It was an perfect way to finish off our time in Budapest
I booked this tour as a birthday treat for my partner on the 5th of August and I must admit it is the best dinner buffet cruise we have ever had in Europe! The price was well worth it. From the moment we boarded, a violinist serenaded us, and we were welcomed with champagne before being shown to our table. We arrived early and got a window seat; the entire atmosphere was serene and classy.Drinks were truly unlimited, and the staff constantly topped up our glasses with our choice of wine, cocktails, beer, or soft drinks. The goulash soup was amazing, and the buffet was uniquely lifted up from below. The food choices were fantastic, and we want to give our utmost thanks to the chef for the incredible quality.The teamwork was amazing—the servers, violinist, bartenders, and ushers were all perfectly in tune with each other. Living in London where everything is expensive, I still can’t believe how affordable this was for the value you get. I highly recommend this dinner cruise because you won't regret it.Since we were there during this heatwave the parliament and other buildings were not lit up, you can also move to top deck for some pics and they serve food and drinks there too . Also, please remember to tip the crew or that person who serve you at the end!
Amazing cruise in first class vessel with service worthy of a five star hotel! Tremendous value for the money. The ship was super comfortable even in an epic heat wave. Live music violinist was so good and transitioned from cover songs to adaptations of classics. And she was so fun and played off an on about two hours. Seated dining with great food on main level and then open air seating on upper deck was just icing on the cake!
Took my aunt there for her birthday, she very much enjoyed it, importantly so did we! Good food selection, although wine choice could be increased. Highly recommended.
Amazing service and experience. Thank you for Zsolt and his team for unforgettable memory.
Friendly crew, tasty food, peaceful environment – perfect!
My wife and I took this two-and-a-half-hour dinner cruise on the River Diva on our second evening in Budapest, and it was one of the highlights of our entire trip. The buffet was beautifully presented and much higher quality than we expected from a cruise-style dining experience. It featured a wide selection of Hungarian dishes, desserts, and barbecue being grilled on the upper deck. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared rather than mass-produced. The drink package was also excellent and noticeably more expansive than the unlimited Prosecco cruise we had taken the night before. Prosecco, red, white and rosé wine, cocktails, spritzers, and other options were all included, and service throughout the evening was attentive and generous. The slower pace of the cruise made the experience feel relaxed and luxurious. We had plenty of time to enjoy the food, drinks, illuminated city views, and live violin music without ever feeling rushed. Overall, this was an amazing experience and one of the most memorable parts of our time in Budapest. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a more elevated way to experience the Danube at night.
We had a wonderful night on the River Diva dinner cruise. Beautiful food, amazing staff and sumptuous surroundings. The main buffet area rose out of the floor after the boat had set sail - a sight to see. Drinks and food in plentiful supply with wine and cocktails, beers and of course water to temper the alcohol. The weather was perfect too making it an experience we are so glad we did and would do again if we return to Budapest.
Excellent value, beautiful ship, good food, champagne & unlimited cocktails. Staff was attentive, music was brilliant.
Wonderful experience. Food good beautiful ship
It was 100% brilliant. Much more than expected. From the moment we borded onto the boat was a wow factor. The staff were all fantastic & so helpful. Lovely lady plays saxaphone & upper deck was so relaxing. Weather was perfect. It worth a booking. Top rates from us. Would go again REALLY LOVELY....MUST GO.....
This was one of the best dinner cruises I have been on. Food and drink was excellent with fantastic service and entertainment
Delightful experience, with staff and crew on point all evening. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Budapest.
Amazing night out food was really good and drinks amazing friendly staff have booked it again for my son
this cruise is nice, and you'll see from the Danube river so many beautifully illuminated buildings in the evening. Nice food and friendly staff, and the violin player played great songs
What an evening! Modern spacious vessel with classy interior. Nice people! Food and drinks probably best you could wish for an evening cruise. We enjoyed every minute of it.
An amazing night with exceptional food and service. The ship itself is spacious and easy to move around. Our best night in Budapest, a must to do.
From the moment we stepped on board we were stunned by how beautiful the boat was and the welcome we received. It was like being in a high class restaurant where nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Our waiter Joe was attentive and knowledgeable about the food and the views we shouldn’t miss. The food was delicious and plentiful and beautifully presented. The drinks flowed all evening. The boat was luxurious, even the toilets! The violinist played the whole time we were on there and she was outstanding. The views were impressive. This was a highlight of our trip and such good value. We felt completely spoilt. Highly recommend this trip
The ambiance was wonderful and the service was exceptional. The music was just right to allow for conversation. The food was very good and plentiful.
Great experience, very good service, unlimited drinks and great buffet dinner. Lovely music, very attentive waiters and the boat is beautiful.(River Diva)
Booked this evening cruise through Get your Guide at a cost of less than £150 for both of us and have to say it was worth every penny. The boat was a complete WOW, beautiful throughout to the point it made you feel emotional. The staff were wonderful, couldn’t do enough for you, the food was delicious, 3 courses and of course unlimited drinks including wine, prosecco , cocktails and spirits for the 2 and a half hour trip. The violinist was fantastic, she made her instrument sing whilst walking around the tables. The views of Budapest at night were amazing and gave a whole new perspective of the city. We highly recommend this trip and wish we had done it the first night as we would have done it again though saying that it was the perfect ending to our break.
The worst experience of my life. Budapest is beautiful, but they offered us a Danube cruise for 20€/pax with two drinks for 1h 30min at 7:00 pm, it turns out it was raining, and it took us 20 min to board (we got soaked) because they take a long time to give out the drink tickets, it turns out that of the two drinks, they force you to have the worst wine/juice you will have ever tasted in your life....the other drink was fine, 100%. They sell you a cruise that lasts 50 min and they kick you out even if you haven't had the second drink yet......a horror and honestly...very bad manners
It was a stylish and spacious boat. Even though the boat was full, there was plenty of space and little waiting at the buffet table. The waiters who served drinks were constantly around you and made sure you had what you needed. The food was top notch. If there was something to point to, it would have to be loud music. It almost became a nuisance height.
I just didn't give 5 stars because it should also have had a cultural characteristic music, but not folkloric. Good environment, good organization, Diverse dishes
