Budapest Cocktails, Craft Beer or Wine Tasting Cruise

Summary

I have already mentioned the dinner cruise offered by Hungaria Koncert above.

However, they also offer a more affordable boat tour with drinks, which takes place on the same ship.

The only difference is that this event is on the ship's lower deck and features a live folk violin trio to entertain you.

There is also an open-air area where you can drink and enjoy spending time.

The basic ticket is reasonably priced and includes a drink. You can also upgrade to options offering craft beer, cocktails, exquisite wines, or even unlimited drinks.

The atmosphere is reminiscent of an early 20th-century cabaret.

Detailed Breakdown

The Ship

• The interior of the ship has a classical and luxurious feel, including chandeliers, a teak wood interior, custom-made floor carpet, intarsia decorated walls, and more.

Indoor Area

• The bottom deck area has the same 20th-century cabaret feel as the rest of the ship.

Outdoor Area

• The outdoor side areas are available for sightseeing guests; the rest of the level is reserved for dinner guests.
• The sides of the view offer 180° views, so unfortunately you can't see both Buda and Pest at the same time.

The Drinks

• The basic ticket is reasonably priced and includes a drink.
• You can also upgrade to options offering craft beer, cocktails, exquisite wines, or even unlimited drinks.
• If you buy the more expensive tickets you will be seated upstairs in the dinner guest area instead of slightly less luxurious bottom deck area.
