"Far from everything, close to each other" - Experience the incomparable atmosphere of holiday cruising!

In Western Europe – for example in France, the Netherlands or Germany – holiday cruises have long been a popular form of recreation, and today already tens of thousands of people looking to relax choose waterways to spend their summer vacations. This special way of travelling, combining freedom and a close-to-nature experience, has been available in Hungary for a few years now, namely in one of the most romantic regions of our country, on the Bodrog, the Tisza and Lake Tisza. On MAHART holiday cruises, you have the opportunity to explore the secluded bays of Eastern Hungary with your friends, family or as a couple, observe the dazzling bird and plant life of the Tisza, or wander the waterfront settlements – all at your own pace, on a comfortably equipped boat.

The experience of a holiday cruise goes beyond most traditional forms of vacation: it is both accommodation and a means of transportation, and it also provides all the tools to prepare delicious breakfasts and lunches for yourself. And for dinner, all you need is a fishing rod and a little luck: you can catch the fresh fish yourself. It can evoke childhood dreams when you control the journey from the deck of your “own boat”, moving from port to port, while the songs of reed-warblers and bull-frogs provide the background music. What is more, all this is available without a sailing license: anyone can drive MAHART’s extremely safe, slow-moving motor holiday boats after a quick one-and-a-half-hour training course, where they will teach you all the necessary knowledge.

MAHART's holiday cruises are available in three sizes, ideal for groups of 4 to 10 people. An interesting feature is that the rear, uncovered part of the boats can be transformed into a cosy shaded terrace with just one movement, where morning coffee, sunset wine or evening barbecues can be especially memorable! You can even splash around from here if you feel like it.

The ship's communal cabin has a fully equipped kitchen: a freezer, refrigerator, sink, oven and stove are available, while the instruments indicating the ship's status at the helm help you navigate. The interior serves as a comfortable living room, so you do not have to end long, deep conversations even when night falls and the air gets cold. The huge drinking water tank built into the ships is more than enough even for a multi-day trip, whether it is taking a shower or flushing the toilet. The cabins can be heated, so the ship serves as a pleasant, warm home even on cooler spring or autumn nights.

In the Bodrog, Tisza and Lake Tisza region, you can travel a total of 260 kilometres of navigable routes, which is more than enough even for a full week-long water adventure. During the trip along the Tisza, you can completely retreat from civilisation, facilitating your digital detox, but you can also discover the friendly settlements on the banks of the Tisza. The bank sections rich in wildlife, the winding backwaters and the romantic landscapes easily captivate the traveller. You stop wherever you like, you can rest for the night in any port, but before that, you can wait in silence from the middle of the river, with the engine stopped, as the sun sets red below the horizon.

MAHART welcomes its guests from May to early autumn in its launch ports, Kisköre and Tokaj.
