Budapest Organ Concert & Dinner Cruise

Details

About The Organ Concert & Dinner Cruise:

Enjoy an unforgettable organ concert in the heart of Budapest and a romantic candlelit dinner aboard a heated or air-conditioned ship. Treat yourself to classical melodies performed by expert flutists, singers and an organist in St Stephan's Basilica. After the concert a host or hostess will guide you to the dinner cruise pier.

Bask in Budapest’s romantic atmosphere and enjoy a warm buffet-dinner surrounded by the lights of the city. After dinner you're free to admire the panorama from the upper deck of the ship. The cruise starts at 22:00 but always waits for guests from the Basilica.
