The Danube Palace

Celebrate a very special evening with the Rajko Folk Ensemble in Budapest. After the great show, you are invited to a cruise trip with a delicious dinner of traditional Hungarian and European style food.

The world famous Rajko Orchestra offers a unique musical experience since 1952. Their performance is based on the tradition of century old gipsy music, and their repertoire covers many genres from classical to folk music, and from operettas to gipsy music and of course, folklore dances.

On the cruise, you will enjoy the romantic atmosphere of Budapest and an excellent warm dinner buffet, surrounded by the illumination of the Danube metropolis. With romantic candle light you can celebrate a wonderful night in Budapest.


Hostesses will accompany you to the ship landing stage, after the concert. The journey lasts ca. 1,5 hour long, and the ships are equipped with air-conditioning.

Artistes

Folk Ensemble, Orchestre
The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble (Budai Vigadó), the Danube Folk Ensemble and Rajkó Folk Ensemble (in the Danube Palace) are three of the best Hungarian folk ensembles with the longest tradition. All three ensembles consist of around 30 artists.

The first ensemble was formed in 1951, and the second ensemble in 1957. Their choreographies are based on authentic dances. Some of them were collected in isolated villages and date back hundreds of years. Through the performed dances you can get a broad view of the music, dance and costume heritage of Hungary and the Hungarian inhabited areas.
