The scene is completed by a huge, beautifully decorated Christmas tree on the upper deck, making the entire boat glow with holiday cheer. It provides an excellent opportunity to take a great selfie or two with any of Budapest’s illuminated landmarks.

Unlike land-based Christmas markets, here you can enjoy our cruise without the inconveniences caused by large crowds. Our ship provides enough standing room, comfortable seating, and, of course, heated areas and modern facilities – yes, even proper restrooms, something every winter wanderer secretly wishes for at these markets.

Forget the hard-to-reach, overrated land-based markets, it’s time to change your perspective!

So, wrap up warm, bring your festive spirit, and let us take you on a Christmas journey like no other. Whether you’re looking for a unique souvenir, sipping a hot drink, or simply soaking in the magical atmosphere, the Christmas Market Cruise promises an unforgettable occasion to celebrate the holiday season.

At our counter, we’ll also treat you to a hot drink, a delicious mulled wine or hot tea, which you can hold and sip while browsing our unique Christmas market. The perfect companion as you wander among our onboard market stalls or simply relax on our upper deck, admiring the view next to our richly decorated Christmas tree.
