Why Budapest?
Budapest is to river cruising what Miami & Fort Lauderdale are to ocean cruising. River cruising is one of the fastest-growing market segments, with advisors making 18% with no non-commissionable fees (NCFs).
There are more river cruise companies on the Danube for the advisors' clients than anywhere in the world. The hotels and major attractions are directly on the river – literally across the street from the port. And, air access is easy from the United States.
If you have not been lucky enough to have visited Budapest yet, the ships arriving in Budapest dock on the PEST side of the river, only minutes away from the city center. Ships are docked at Belgrad Rakpart Port (Mahart – International Passenger or Drava Street Port), usually between the Liberty (Szabadság) and Chain (Széchenyi) bridges.
