Description

Experience Budapest from the Danube on a 60-minute sightseeing cruise with the historic atmosphere of classic steam travel. Aboard the Kisfaludy, enjoy a lively, social way to see the city, with guaranteed seating for every guest and panoramic views from the outdoor deck.

Sail past Budapest’s best-known riverside landmarks, including the Hungarian Parliament Building, Buda Castle, Fisherman’s Bastion, Gellért Hill and the city’s iconic bridges. The Kisfaludy’s nostalgic character evokes the golden age of Danube steam navigation, inspired by the story of Hungary’s first steamship on Lake Balaton.

Enjoy a welcome drink of premium Tokaj Frizzante or orange juice. An onboard bar offers a wide selection of drinks, available to purchase with cash or card.

Follow the route with a 30-language online audio guide, available on your own smartphone. Simply scan the QR code on board and use your own earphones for the best listening experience. If you need help accessing the guide, please ask a crew member. Free Wi-Fi is available on board.

The boat has restrooms, a fully heated deck during winter, plus blankets, umbrellas and parasols for changing weather. Dogs are welcome on board.

Around sunset, we slightly adjust our route to pass Parliament at its best light.
Please note: seating is not allocated and is available on a first-come, first-served basis, indoors or outdoors. Please follow crew instructions and safety regulations at all times.
