Three real listings, 50 minutes to about an hour, the shortest and cheapest way to see the riverfront.
Short answer
Sightseeing cruises put the view first. No dinner service, no open bar, just a deck, the Danube, and Budapest lined up on both banks (see Is a Danube River cruise in Budapest worth it?). The three listings here range from 50 minutes to about an hour: a night departure with a welcome drink, a daytime official cruise, and a paddle-steamer sailing with Tokaj wine and an audio guide.
