The best photo cruise in Budapest
Unlike most sightseeing boats, nothing blocks your view.
Capture Budapest from:
• the front of the boat
• the rooftop terrace
• both sides of the ship
• the lower panoramic deck
Every cruise offers dozens of unique angles of Parliament, Buda Castle and the illuminated bridges.
Families love Floating Lotus because children have room to explore instead of sitting in one place for the entire cruise.
The spacious open decks allow everyone to enjoy the experience at their own pace.
