Overview

1 Hour Historical Cruise with Audio Guide & Welcome Drink

Our fleet features two unique historical ships: the Kisfaludy Paddle Steamer and the Hableány Paddle Steamer. Both ships are faithful recreations of 19th-century paddle steamers, sister vessels with similar designs and historical significance, offering the same panoramic sightseeing experience.

Built in the spirit of Hungary’s Reform Era, their period-accurate construction and fine detailing evoke the atmosphere of a bygone age, creating the feeling of a true time-travel experience on the Danube.

To make your journey even more enjoyable, we offer an online audio guide in over 25 languages. Simply scan the QR code on board with your phone. For the best experience, don't forget to bring your own earphones!

Please note: seating is not allocated and works on a first-come, first-served basis. Always follow crew instructions and safety regulations. Disruptive behavior is not permitted.
