Hop-on-hop-off ship rides at the Danube Bend to restart this weekend – PHOTOS

Mahart PassNave Kft. will restart their scheduled ships on April 24 on the route of Visegrád-Nagymaros-Zebegény-Dömsöd-Nagymaros-Visegrád. The circle line will be followed by three additional ones in June, touching Szob and Verőce, too, as a novelty of this year.
Mahart PassNave Kft. fulfilled a desire of many by launching a scheduled hop-on-hop-off inspired ship trip last June in the Danube Bend area. As a test and as a substitute for some train lines, in coordination with MÁV (Hungarian State Railways), the company operated a free route between Nagymaros and Zebegény for a couple of days to help boost local transport. It was so successful that some days later, the company decided to launch this completely new cruise-like line in order to boost and serve tourism better.
The original route touching four different towns was quickly complemented by two new lines. A shorter one between Esztergom and Zebegény and a longer one starting from Szentendre and going through Leányfalu, Tahitótfalu and arriving in Visegrád.
The “cruise” became popular very soon among tourists, hikers and even locals. Thanks to its success, the longest
route of Visegrád-Nagymaros-Zebegény-Dömös-Nagymaros-Visegrád will be re-launched this Saturday, April 24.
Tickets are very affordable, writes turizmus.com. Passengers can buy a daily ticket that allows them to hop on or hop off the ship at any given port, interrupting their trip at any time.
