The Experience

Your own private vessel on the Danube

Step aboard the Thetis, an elegant 12-guest yacht, and leave the city behind without ever leaving it. Glide past illuminated palaces, beneath historic bridges, and along the most celebrated riverfront in Europe.

Every cruise is fully private — no other guests, no fixed routes, no rush. Just you, your company, and Budapest at its most magnificent.

Beyond the City

Danube Bend daytrips

Extend your journey beyond Budapest — cruise to the charming towns of the Danube Bend.

Hungarian Parliament at night

"The Danube at night is not a river — it is a mirror of stars."

The Route

A journey through the heart of Budapest

We depart from the city centre and head north, passing beneath the Chain Bridge and Margaret Bridge. The boat glides past Margaret Island, offering a tranquil contrast to the illuminated skyline.

At the turning point, we set course south through the full panorama: the Hungarian Parliament, Buda Castle, the Fisherman's Bastion, and the Gellért Hill Liberty Statue — all bathed in golden light.

The return leg takes you past the iconic bridges once more, each one framing a new perspective of the city. The entire journey lasts two to three hours, depending on your chosen duration.
