Food was very underwhelming.

The entertainment was very nice. The food was below average. My wife had the fish and it was just ok. I had the chicken because the server said the pork was sometimes dry. The chicken was so I dry I had one bite and ate no more. I would recommend the cruise without dinner. Dinner experience was underwhelming to say the least and a waste of money.

Great Dinner Cruise in Budapest!

We had a lovely dinner and a beautiful view of Budapest at night. I especially want to recognize Zoltan our host for the evening. He was very customer-focused and friendly and took great pains to take a nice photo of our group. We enjoyed his service very much!

Unsatisfactory food.

The cruise on the river was ok. When we boarded the boat they tried to charge us extra for a window seat which we refused. The food was awful - the worst was the main course of pork tenderloin. They also wanted to charge for a topup of water.

A Fabulous evening on the Danube!!

I had a fabulous time on the Silverline Dinner Cruise! The food was enjoyable, the cruise along the Danube was absolutely spectacular, and the entertainment was wonderful—but the staff truly made the experience. My waitress, Cintia, was exceptional—friendly, attentive, efficient, and genuinely pleasant. She made sure I was taken care of all evening and truly made my night. The manager “Sultan” was so cheerful and welcoming. I absolutely loved this experience and would do it again in a heartbeat. If you’re visiting Budapest, this cruise is a must!!!

Wonderful dinner cruise w great entertainment!

There is no need to upgrade for the window view. You can see well no matter where you are once the boat leaves. Lots of opportunities for memory-making photos. The entertainment includes musicians (cimbalom, violin and cello), a singer, and four dancers. Had a great time! We didn't have kids but kid friendly.

Celebrating 30 years.

Our server, Antonia was attentive, polite and always had a smile. The crew was also amazing and organized. The food was typical classic hungarian with good ol' fashion traditional folklore. Exceeded all our expectations.
