Cruise and Dinner live Soul Music
The Dinner Cruise with A La Carte Menu in Budapest is a 2.5 hour cruise is from 7 pm to 9:30 pm every single night throughout the year (except Dec 24), and is a great program if you wish to have a delicious dinner on December 31. Mind you, this concert and cruise is not a full length program, so it best suits those who are planning to continue the night elsewhere (or wish to have a quiet / intimate NYE).
Details: Dinner Cruise with A La Carte Menu in Budapest
Concert / program begins: 7 pm on 31 December
Marvellous dishes, great drink list, wonderful sights, one of our personal favourites in Budapest. Music: salon music with 2-3 musicians on board.
This beautiful dinner cruise is priced as on any other night, there is no NYE surcharge. It is guaranteed to run full boat, so booking in advance is essential.
Live band is playing pleasant, and for some guests, slightly cheesy salon music. It does blend nicely into the backdrop of Budapest illuminated attractions along the river Danube. Party: NO. It is a dinner cruise, and a great way to start the night on December 31, but there is no party on this dinner cruise.

The beautiful and magnificent church of Budapest, the St Stephen’s Basilica in the city centre is always a favourite of church concert goers in Hungary. Classical music concerts are regular.
