Dinner, Cruise with Fireworks - 20 August in Budapest

Budapest is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, according to a New York Times article and millions of tourists from all around the globe. 

What makes it so special and different from the rest of the big European cities, is its various architecture and the oppositions in the city itself. 

During celebrations, the amazing fireworks above the river create an image of true beauty. Take part in a romantic cruise before the fireworks including a delicious open buffet dinner with various traditional Hungarian dishes and unlimited drink consumption included to enjoy the holiday event in complete comfort! 

Our program takes you on a 2 hours long romantic ship cruise down the Danube showing you the magnificent sights from the river, along with Live Music entertainment. The ship anchors during the fireworks then return to the pier. 

Did You know? Stephen has always been considered one of the most important statesmen in the history of Hungary. His main achievement was the establishment of a Christian state that ensured that the Hungarians survived in the Carpathian Basin. His right hand is still kept in the largest church of the capital, the St. Stephen’s Basilica. 

The meals on our boats are prepared by Chef Molnárka Péter, including various Hungarian dishes, cold entries, international favourites, vegetarian meals, desserts and much more. A perfect choice to try out most of the local dishes while listening to live gipsy music entertainment by three members of the rightfully renowned Rajkó Folk Orchestra. 

The 20th of August is one of the greatest Hungarian feasts. The founding of our state and the coronation of our first king, St. Stephen is celebrated on this day with glorious fireworks above the river observed by the whole city. 

Enjoy this special event from the best place possible and come with us on an unforgettable river cruise.
