These excursion boats feature quality finishes throughout—refreshed flooring, drapery, and upholstery to match the standard of dedicated event boats. There’s a buffet at the stern on all ships, plus a bar corner on the renovated Esztergom and Sződliget for added comfort as you cruise the Danube Bend.
Onboard tech and comfort

Both the lower and upper decks are arranged for easy group seating, making them a natural fit for organized outings.
Who it’s for
These boats are tailored to school groups, adult tour groups, and companies planning events where the journey really is the goal. Think day-long scenic cruises, hop-on stops at small and large riverside towns, and team days that trade meeting rooms for river views. If that’s on your agenda, request a quote.
Where to stay
Saint Stephen Inn (Szent István Fogadó) sits 164 feet from the Danube on a quiet, easy-to-reach street. This carved wooden-balcony mansion, built in 1900 and once owned by painter Endre Szász, was fully renovated in 2003 with its original style intact. Expect modern, well-appointed rooms and a garden terrace. The garden’s charming gazebo is ideal for cozy cauldron-and-grill parties, and the area’s sights offer plenty of active leisure options for visitors.
Where to eat and drink
Nokedli, a self-service Hungarian restaurant, serves comforting classics on a peaceful terrace. Drop in for hearty plates and an unhurried vibe.
There’s also a nearby bistro focusing on speed without sacrificing flavor. The kitchen turns out a wide range of dishes and drinks, winning fans for fresh, quality fare. Pair your meal with a rich craft beer or your favorite alcoholic beverage and keep your day moving.

Why Nagymaros
Because a day out on the Danube Bend never gets old. From the deck of a classic riverboat, the scenery rolls by—castles, forested hills, and riverside towns—while you sip something cold from the bar corner and let the gentle hum of the engines carry the day. Whether it’s a class trip, a company party, or a friends-and-family cruise, Nagymaros is ready to launch.
