Questions about this trip

How do you celebrate New Year's Eve on this cruise?
You spend the evening on board in Budapest, cruising the Danube as fireworks light up the city. After a slow New Year's morning, the boat leaves Budapest in the afternoon.
How many guests are on board?
The group is limited to 24 guests, so the river cruise feels more like a private party than a big ship.
What is the riverboat like?
You stay in a cabin or suite for six nights, with meals and evening drinks shared with fellow guests on board. Each day the boat moors in town so you can walk straight into the sights.
When is the best time to take this trip?
December is the best month for this route. Tell us your dates and your travel expert checks the weather and availability for them.
Can we make this trip our own?
Yes. Add nights before or after, upgrade a hotel, fly in from wherever you are on the dates that suit you, or tell us it is a honeymoon or anniversary and we plan the details around it.
