Description
Experience Budapest from the Danube aboard Floating Lotus, featuring the city’s largest open rooftop terrace and two spacious decks to explore freely throughout your cruise.
Unlike traditional sightseeing boats where guests remain seated, Floating Lotus gives you the freedom to move between different viewpoints. Walk to the bow for unobstructed photographs of Parliament, relax on the open rooftop terrace, or enjoy the scenery from the comfortable indoor panoramic deck.
Choose the atmosphere that best suits your plans. The early departure offers relaxing daylight and seasonal golden-hour views before dinner. The central departure lets you experience Budapest transitioning into evening, while the late departure showcases Parliament, Buda Castle and the bridges illuminated after dark. Exact lighting depends on the season and sunset time.
During the 75-minute cruise, sail past Budapest’s most famous riverside landmarks, including the Hungarian Parliament Building, Buda Castle, Chain Bridge, Gellért Hill, Margaret Island and the city’s historic bridges.
Enjoy unlimited premium drinks throughout the experience. Choose from Prosecco, Aperol Spritz, Hugo Spritz, wine, craft beer, soft drinks, homemade lemonade and water. Relax with lounge music as you take in panoramic views from the water.
Learn more about the landmarks along the route using the English audio commentary available by QR code. Bring your own headphones and listen from your preferred location on the boat.
For an enhanced experience, a limited number of VIP upgrades are available. Ask the crew after boarding for details and availability.
The spacious indoor panoramic deck provides air conditioning during warmer weather and heating during colder periods, so you can enjoy the cruise comfortably throughout the season.
Whether you choose the daylight, evening or illuminated late departure, Floating Lotus combines unlimited drinks, rooftop freedom and spectacular views for a memorable Budapest experience on the Danube.
