Budapest No Frills Budget Sightseeing Cruise

Video

Sightseeing & Views

• Like on any boat tour in Budapest, the cityscape is breathtaking throughout the trip. However, Silverline's ships have a roof and support columns on the top deck which means they do not provide a clear 360° view.

The Ship

• The ship itself is decent, but it doesn't claim the title of the most modern or spacious vessel on the waters. It gets the job done without being overly impressive.
• Silverline rotates boats frequently, so you may not get the same one I did.

The Top Deck

• During my trip, I was on the larger two-level boat that previously had rows of seats, but has since been replaced with tables and chairs (according to photos).
• The smaller boat now has the rows of seats, which I found to be cramped and lacking in legroom.
• Both ships have roofs and support columns which partially block the view.

The Main Deck

• The main deck offers comfort with ample space, heating, and air conditioning. While indoor views are average, better panoramas await at the front chairs or the open-air section.

The Staff

• Welcoming and friendly staff at the entrance make a positive impression. I haven't interacted with the ship's crew so I cannot comment on that.

Unneccesary Stop

• During my cruise, we made a stop at Batthyány tér (Buda), even though no passengers got on or off.
