2.Unlimited Prosecco, Beer & Aperol Spritz Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,371 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $29

Cruise the Danube for about 75 to 90 minutes with unlimited Paulus prosecco, fruit spritzers, and homemade lemonade. Recorded English commentary points out Buda Castle and other sights, while a panoramic window table, lounge music, and open-roof deck make this a social evening outing.

“Boat was lovely. The outdoor deck was closed and we couldn’t go to the upper deck. There was a small space at the back of the boat where we couldn’t go out to take photos. Staff were very attentive. No idea what the audio guide was referring too as it was so busy and loud you couldn’t hear it. Because there were so many people on the boat getting a good seat near a window was hard. Windows steamed up so couldn’t really get a good view of everything. Only 1 hour long.”
