Details & Options
Route highlights and photo moments
This cruise is all about best views, monuments, bridges, and the skyline, with plenty of time for photos. If you want the full overview of our private cruises in Budapest, start here on private cruises and then come back to lock in the sightseeing format.
60 vs 90 vs 120 minutes
60 minutes is ideal for a clean panorama spin and strong photos. 90 minutes is the most balanced choice if you want time to settle in and enjoy the views. 120 minutes is perfect if you want a slower, premium pace and more relaxed moments on the river.
Best time of day
Daytime gives you crisp views and bright photos. Sunset is the upgrade pick if you want warmer light, stronger atmosphere, and a more memorable “wow” moment without turning it into a party cruise.
Drinks and bar options
You can keep it simple with an onboard bar, or add welcome drinks, prosecco, beer, and other setups on request. We confirm the exact drinks plan with your booking so it matches your timing and group vibe.
Music and mood
Sightseeing can be calm and classy, or more upbeat if you want energy for a birthday or a laid back hen or stag crew. Bring your own playlist, or tell us the style you want and we will align the onboard feel.
Meeting point near Margaret Bridge
We share the exact city center meeting point after confirmation, so everyone can arrive easily and start on time. Timing stays smooth when the group arrives together, especially on tight schedules.
Optional private transfer for larger groups
For bigger groups, or if you want zero logistics, private transfer can be arranged on request. It is the easiest way to keep the day flowing, especially before dinner or nightlife.
