Hungary celebrates its national day on 20 August, marking the foundation of the state and the country’s first Christian king, St. Stephen. Celebrate the 20 August on a Danube river cruise by watching the marvelous fireworks. Moreover, enjoy a dinner prepared by chef Molnárka Péter, along with your favorite drinks from the open bar on board.
It is Budapest’s biggest event of the year! The ship anchors before the fireworks begin, where you can watch the fireworks from the upper deck of the ship after dinner. During the cruise you’ll hear salon music performed by 3 members of the Zoltán Kodály, the award-winning Rajkó Folk Orchestra, including the world-famous violinist Zsigmond Vidák.
