Select participants and date
You step off the cobblestone onto Dock 42 and the Danube meets you like a living thing—slow, wide and insistently present. The M/S Klára rocks gently against the quay, lights blinking, sound system humming through the open hatch. For the next hour the river will act as your stage: you’ll glide past the Parliament façade, watch the Chain Bridge flex its iron ribs, and let Buda Castle and the Gellért cliff slide by while the crew sets out chilled glasses and a steady stream of local beers and wines.

Adventure Tips
Arrive early to find Dock 42
Dock 42 can be obscured by larger vessels—use ‘Portum Lines’ in your map app and arrive 10 minutes early to board without rush.
Bring ID and the deposit for stag groups
Stag parties require a EUR 150 damage deposit payable at boarding; have ID and card/cash ready to avoid delays.
Wear non-slip shoes
Decks can be wet; flat, grippy shoes reduce the chance of slips while moving between decks.
No swimming or jumping from the boat
The Danube current is hazardous and operators enforce a EUR 1000 penalty and police involvement for violations.
