Daytime cruise Duna Bella: A pleasant time on board of our panoramic boat, sailing between the splendid vision of Buda & Pest and an optional free time on Margaret Island. You'll have the chance to join a free 30 minute English and Spanish speaking live guided walk at the island. All daytime cruises include a stop at the island, allowing you to get on and off freely. However, the final daytime cruise - 18:30 - is the last one to stop at the island, so if you disembark, there won’t be a return boat available afterward. Please note that low water levels and certain weather conditions can interfere with docking at the island.
Out at sunset: the 5:00 PM departure is under way when the sun sets, around 5:44 PM in the coming weeks.
In demand: 182 of the next 360 departures are already sold out.

We booked this as a party of couples, great trip , great service. Free drink. Audio guide was very useful. Great tour operator; boat was Duna Bella - Boat was lovely very clean. Toilets clean and modern. Excellent value. Highly recommend
Great experience: the reservation, the boat - we took a ruis with legend and we're really satisfied.
the Danube cruise was relaxing and entertaining as we learned some history as we went. there was no big crowd, so we could sit back and enjoy. there was a choice of beverage and a refreshing glass of lemonade when we headed back to dock. highly recommend this tour.
I recommend that everyone who goes to Budapest take the evening cruise on the Danube. An exciting and unique experience. I recommend that you go 25 minutes early to the meeting point so you can choose the best seats on the boat. Consider that the upper deck has a better view that makes the Cruise unique.
Nice pleasant trip but no Margaret Island option as advertised. Great way to see views of Budapest from the water
We really enjoyed our evening cruise with a free glass of champagne. We took the one departing at 7.20pm just as all the buildings along the river bank were lightning lighting up. Be sure to get there 30 minutes before departure in order to get the seat of your choice (upper deck?). I understand that this is the only cruise offering a covered waiting area which would be good when the weather is not so nice.
We were very dissatisfied with this booking. It was advertised as a 1 1/2 hour tour with a 30 minute guided tour of Margaret Island. Although we viewed the island, the boat did not stop on the island and no guided tour occurred. The entire cruise lasted only one hour.
It was just ok. Everything you see on the cruise, you can see just walking down the riverbank and see it yourself.
Great cruise 6:30 pm sailing. Captain turned around at each end to make sure everyone had great views and photo opportunities. Crew was friendly and the audio commentary was very informative.
Smooth cruise, nice and friendly staff. And free drinks.
