Budapest Folk Cruise

About the Folk Music and Dance Night

The folk dancers are the members of the traditional folk ensemble called Folkrhythms, who gained show experience in the former, nationally and internationally acclaimed Rajko Folk Ensemble, honing their fine sophisticated dancing and singing skills, showing the traditions of the Hungarian folks of various regions in Hungary. The folk dance ensemble on the river cruise is 4 – 6 dancers, plus there is a quartet playing the folk dance music for the group. The members of FolkRhythms will take you for a lovely dance with them at the end of the night (only if you want to learn dancing!)

Hungarian Folk Show Boat Budapest - Balancing Bottle

Folk Boat – Balancing Bottle

The Folk Dance includes Hungarian traditional dances, like the spectacular the Women’s Bottle Balancing Dance (women balancing fragile wine bottles on their heads while dancing) or the Men’s Stick Dances (men acting out shepherd with their herding sticks, making tricky dance moves as if fighting off enemies).
The Folk entertainment is followed by an interactive and fun workshop where you will get an opportunity to learn a bit of Hungarian Folk Dances.

Are you accepting bookings for the 4th September 2016? I tried to book online but it would not accept that date?

Hello Gary,
I would like to confirm that Sep 4 is available for booking now, you can choose it in the booking form as well. On Sep 4, the Folk Show will be in the Danube Palace.

Hi! I just booked the Dinner and Cruise for November 10. I received my receipt from Paypal, but I did not receive a ticket from you through email. (BTW the buffet looked even more tempting, so many amazing things to sample, but the whole month of November appears to be sold out! Must be very popular!)

Dear Jennifer,
thank you for your comment, however I can see that you have already confirmed the receipt of the ticket by now.

Michelle Powell

Just booked for 20th December. Cant wait and hope it will be memorable for our time in Budapest.

Is there any way I can get a booking for 26th Dec for 2 people?

Dear SHG,

thank you for contacting us.

The Folk Show on Dinner Cruise does not run everyday, but you can book tickets for this program for 27 December on:

Enjoy your Christmas holiday in Budapest!

thank you for your inquiry.
No, unfortunately there is no guide during the cruise, as there is live music (Folk Music & Dance Show).

Green Pea Cream Soup with Roasted Almonds

Could you tell me about the soup, is the soup made with almonds in it or are they added before serving? Its just one friend has a nut allergy, and was wondering if the nuts can be left out.

Dear Dreya,
yes, the almonds can be left out as they would be added on the top of the soup.

Budapest Folk Dinner Cruise.
How can I join the cruise at 9:00 for the last bit? How much dose it cost without dinner?

Dear Yoshi,
I’m afraid the 9pm boarding option is no longer available on the cruise.
Unfortunately there is no ticket without dinner. Thank you for your understanding.
