Overview

The MAHART PassNave hydrofoil cruises along the main Danube branch on the Budapest-Vác-Visegrád-Esztergom route. During the journey, participants can enjoy stunning views of landmarks such as the Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady in VácVisegrád CitadelEsztergom Basilica, and the Mária Valéria Bridge.

Depending on traffic and water levels, the journey is served by the 71-seat Vöcsök or the 54-seat Bibic hydrofoil. Wide-angle cameras installed at the front of the ships broadcast views to LCD screens in the cabin. Cyclists can also bring a limited number of bicycles, as the Danube Bend area is ideal for cycling with its well-established paths. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis, so it’s recommended to arrive 30 minutes prior to departure. Please note there is no onboard buffet service.
