On the ticket purchase (click for more on this …)

What availabilities you have?

The availabilities of our Budapest Sightseeing Cruise are displayed after you selected a given day. The number of available tickets will also be seen there. In case you are not able to select a certain date, then unfortunately there are no more tickets left for that cruise.

Do I need to print the ticket?

No, presentation of the ticket on a smart device (phone, tablet, etc.) is fine as indicated on the ticket. We also do like trees.

I would like to buy a gift voucher

Naturally, you can find that from the menu or just click: purchase gift voucher

the sums on the invoice and the card charge differs / I need an invoice on the booking fee

Probably you have noticed the sums on the receipt/invoice is different than the sums on the card charge. The difference comes from the booking fee charged by Fareharbor direct.
The total sum you have paid comes from the fees paid for the service (Fareharbor indicates that as Subtotal) and the booking fee for the platform (Fareharbor indicates that as Fee). We can only provide invoice on the first one as that is the service we provide.
In case you need an invoice on the booking fee (Fee) you need to contact with Fareharbor direct by a form or an email.

On the boat cruise/ride (click for more on this …)

At what time shall I arrive?

We would recommend 10-15 minutes before the departure. Naturally, you may arrive later to the port, but it is recommended to go onboard at least 5 minutes before departure. Boarding usually starts 10-15 minutes before departure. Do not arrive more earlier! Our crew will not allow you on board because there are special laws and rules for that, also the boat needs to be cleaned and checked. Believe us, this is not a rude gesture, simply the boarding is not allowed and could be dangerous. Boarding starts only on the permission of the captain!

What happens in rain, cold or bad weather?

The boat has covered deck that provides all of you comfort in any weather conditions and it is really nice in heavier storm, colder weather, etc. Rain or bad weather is not a special circumstance that allows you to change your ticket. Our policy is simple: no-show no-refund.
