Christmas Dinner Cruise
€ 150
Make this Christmas in a different way! Spend in Budapest on Danube Cruise!
Christmas might be the most wonderful time of the year, when almost everyone wants to believe in love and miracles. So probably everyone loves Christmas, but it can happen that you are craving for some really special one this year. Come on, let’s leave the old traditional ways of celebrating Christmas behind, and try something absolutely new this year! Are you always busy and your loved ones are also in a permanent rush? This holiday is about love each other. So at least on these days you should have enough time for your family and your friends, and spend a pleasant night together at a perfect place in an exclusive but heart-warming environment. Does it sound promising? If you agree, don’t hesitate anymore: book a Christmas Cruise in Budapest and forget about all the hassle!
If you are looking for a unique and special present, our program is a perfect choice. Our Christmas Dinner Cruise can make either a perfect gift or simply a great night out. We ask every guest to arrive circa half an hour before departure. Once the cruise departs at 7.30 pm, you will have a unique opportunity to admire Budapest at night. You can enjoy a fabulous Christmas dinner with live music on board. The play of the pianists and the song of a beautiful lady will amaze you and make you forget about the everyday rush! And that is not all! The river cruise at night is a guaranteed lifetime experience. Close your eyes for a moment and imagine…
All the boat is “dressed up” for Christmas, soft piano music gently fills the air and with the night lights of the city sparkling in the background, you can even enjoy the best quality drinks of Hungary at candlelight. However, not only our boat is ready for the holiday!
From late November, the Hungarian capital city wears its ’Christmas costume’. Lots of streets receive silver or gold luminous decorations in forms of snowflakes, stars, pine trees, or any other nice symbols of the holiday. The historical buildings on the bank of the river offer always an imposing view; they are also common topics of postcards for tourist. However, they seem to be marvelous at night when they are floodlit.
While cruising on the river, you will have the chance to see a number of the capital’s sights, including the Fisherman’s Bastion, the Parliament, the eye-catching historic places of Buda – the Castle or the Citadel. Some of them, such as the House of the Hungarian Parliament, were built in the late 19th century and – according to the fashion of that age – they show the main features of multiple great periods of art history. Have you known that the Hungarian Parliament is the third biggest parliament in the whole world? Other buildings are really old. For example, the oldest stones of the Castle are more than 700 years! And, of course, we mustn’t forget about the bridges. While on the river, you cannot miss the sight of the most beautiful – both old and modern – bridges of Budapest, which are breathtakingly elegant with all the festive lights on.

Christmas is just once a year! Spend on our Budapest Cruise!
Celebrate the holiday season in a truly memorable way by joining one of our Budapest Christmas Cruises, available exclusively on 24 and 25 December. These two evenings offer a rare opportunity to experience the magic of Christmas from the Danube, surrounded by the illuminated skyline of Budapest and a warm, festive atmosphere on board.
At the heart of the experience is a 4-course Christmas dinner served on board, thoughtfully prepared to reflect the flavours and traditions of Hungarian holiday cuisine. This elegant dinner allows you to enjoy a festive meal without the usual holiday stress. Just simply relax and celebrate while the city glides by outside the windows. The menu is designed to offer variety and balance, with carefully selected courses leading to a choice of four different main courses, ensuring that every guest can find a dish that suits their taste.
To complete the evening on a sweet note, all guests receive a small Christmas gift as a festive surprise. This carefully chosen sweet treat is our way of sharing the joy of the season and adding a little extra magic to the moments before departure.
A candlelit setting, seasonal flavours, attentive service and breathtaking views combine to create an intimate and joyful holiday experience, one that turns Christmas in Budapest into a memory you will cherish long after the festivities are over.
As this programme is the most popular event of our December cruises and capacity is limited, early booking is highly recommended to secure your place.
In this year, surprise your beloved one with an eternal memory besides, or instead of material things, and present them with our unique cruise! We ensure that all members of our staff will do their best to make your evening wonderful. You will have no other tasks than enjoying Christmas in the company of your family or friends. During this heart-warming trip, you can feel the real Christmas feeling better than in the crowded streets, markets, or stores.
Christmas Fairs are organized during the period of advent. Usually, Christmas Eve is the last day but if you’re lucky, you can visit one of them in the morning or early afternoon on 24th of December. They offer a wide variety of products: you can find funny or cute mass products as well as exclusive hand-made craftworks. Naturally, food is also an important part of these events. Don’t miss mulled wine, Chimney cake or pork sausages! In most cases, mulled and seasoned apple juice is also sold, in case of your children would be interested in mulled wine…
Make sure you do not miss this unique opportunity; this special Budapest Cruise at Christmas can be booked online. It would be silly though not to have a glass (or more) of the best house wines this country can offer that are carefully selected to match each course of the festive Christmas dinner. You know: a good dinner doesn’t exist without high-quality drinks - and of course good company. And Hungarian wines are famous worldwide! It’s worth tasting them.
Not in Budapest at Christmas?
No problem. Visit the capital of Hungary at any time of the year, and you will still find a stunning variety of river cruises with Silverline. There are thematic trips at Eastern, Silvester, or on the 20th of August (a Hungarian national day), but there are several other ones during the whole year. Most of them contain cultural programs and/or meal or drinks. Please phone us or contact us via our website for more information!
