Description
Budapest looks even better with a drink in hand, especially from the city’s largest open rooftop terrace.
Step aboard Floating Lotus for a 75-minute sightseeing experience combining unlimited drinks, iconic views and the freedom to explore two spacious decks. Move between the indoor panoramic deck and the open rooftop terrace, find your favorite photo spot or simply relax with a drink as Budapest glides by.
Seating is available for every guest on the indoor lower deck. The rooftop is a spacious open viewing and walking terrace with 360° skyline views. Seating upstairs is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, so rooftop seating is not guaranteed with a standard ticket.
Enjoy unlimited Prosecco, Aperol Spritz, Hugo Spritz, selected Hungarian wines, craft beer, Heineken, soft drinks, homemade lemonade and water throughout the experience.
On selected Thursday, Friday and Saturday departures, a live DJ adds to the atmosphere. DJ availability may vary depending on the date and departure.
Choose the time that suits your plans. The early departure offers daylight and seasonal golden-hour views, the central departure captures Budapest transitioning into evening, while the late departure showcases the Parliament, Buda Castle and the bridges illuminated after dark. Exact lighting depends on the season, weather and sunset time — Mother Nature likes to keep a little mystery.
Along the route, see Budapest’s most famous riverside landmarks, including the Hungarian Parliament, Buda Castle, Chain Bridge, Gellért Hill, Margaret Island and the city’s historic bridges.
English audio commentary is available via QR code. Bring your own headphones and listen from your preferred location on the boat.
Rainy day? We still cruise. The indoor panoramic deck is air-conditioned during warmer weather and heated during colder periods, so you can enjoy the experience comfortably throughout the season.
Looking for something extra? A limited number of VIP upgrades are available. The exclusive VIP area at the front of the upper deck offers priority boarding, additional comfortable furniture and dedicated bartenders preparing your drinks. The DJ booth is also located in the VIP area on DJ nights. In addition to the included unlimited drinks, VIP guests may purchase a selection of spirits.
Departure times and meeting points may occasionally change due to weather, river conditions, closures or operational circumstances. If anything changes, all guests will be notified using the contact details provided with the booking, so please check your messages before arrival.
Daylight, golden hour or sparkling city lights — just add unlimited drinks, panoramic views and Budapest’s largest open rooftop terrace. We’ll take care of the rest!
