Itinerary
Your holiday begins as you fly* from Heathrow Airport to Budapest. Our luxurious ship awaits us here, where we're greeted with a refreshing cocktail in the lounge. After settling into your wonderful cabin and familiarising yourself with our magnificent ship, we indulge in our first delicious five-course dinner on board before enjoying the enchanting ambience of a traditional Hungarian Folklore troupe.
Once the sun sets, we begin a magical evening cruise along the Danube River, taking in the illuminated sights of Budapest. From the Gothic-style Parliament building to Buda castle, the state buildings that line the banks on both sides are all sensationally lit up, as well as the stunning Chain Bridge. Whether you choose to relax in the cosy lounge or take in the panoramic views from the sun deck, Budapest's elegant scenery is a spectacular start to our cruise.

The holiday on the ship was excellent but the air travel arrangements to and from the ship were very unsatisfactory.
