Summary

When it comes to Budapest cruises, Silverline Sightseeing Cruise is a solid choice with friendly staff and a comfortable meeting point, but it doesn't quite stand out from the crowd.

Unlike most cruises, Silverline's cruise ticket does not include a welcome drink. However, the price is on the low-end. If it were not for their out-of-the-way location, I would recommend the Portum's similarly cheap cruise in a heartbeat.

With a relaxed 60-minute cruising time, this ride offers a leisurely pace that allows you to take in the sights and enjoy the moment.

There is an audio guide app available in 6 languages (English, Hungarian, German, French, Spanish, and Italian).

In summary, Silverline's sightseeing cruise provides a leisurely tour of Budapest's iconic landmarks on the Danube. While not exceptional, it offers a decent experience.

How to Get There

Detailed Breakdown

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.
