Budapest Danube dinner cruise with operetta and folk show. 4-course meal, welcome drink, and Parliament to Buda Castle night lights.
“We thoroughly enjoyed our evening dinner cruise. The entertainment was of a high standard and performed enthusiastically. The staff generally were very friendly and helpful. By way of constructive criticism, I didn’t think the four course and window seat options were value for money. The seating arrangement only gave one party member the view. The appetiser course consisted of one cheese (?) ball presented on a spoon. I thought there might have been more to it for the cost. The main course could have been warmer also. A memorable night out all the same.”

“Silverline Cruises does an excellent job! When we first entered the boat we were greeted warmly and shown to our table. There were white tablecloths throughout and the tables were spaced appropriately apart given the number of people on board, yet providing a sense of intimacy. The music was lovely and not too loud as we’ve experienced in the past. The menu and food were very good! It was a multi course dinner offering choices on the entree and dessert. But the best experience of all was the lights of the city that come on while you’re on the water. It was an unforgettable experience!”
