Venue rental
(banquet tables & theatre seating)
Location
The event space operating as the A38 Bistro is located on the ship’s deck level, immediately to the right of the main entrance. The adjoining terrace opens toward the Pest side and can be accessed both from the restaurant and via a separate entrance.
The restaurant is spacious and bright, with sound-insulated panoramic glass walls running along both longitudinal sides, offering a unique view of the Millennium City Center, the National Theatre, and the Palace of Arts.
The atmosphere of the interior is defined by the warm tones of natural wood surfaces and carefully placed plants. The green features create a fresh, nature-inspired ambience that harmoniously offsets the industrial character of the venue, while providing a calm and inspiring setting. The restaurant’s panoramic windows can be darkened as required.
Location
The Schweppes Terrace, located on the deck level of the newer section of the ship, is one of the A38 Ship’s most distinctive event spaces. It is easily accessible both from the main entrance and through the restaurant.
Renovated in the spring of 2020, the terrace features a metallic, progressive design language that gives the space a strong character while remaining fully aligned with the ship’s overall identity. The stunning Danube panorama is complemented by Schweppes Hungary’s bold design elements, creating a unique visual experience for guests.
More than just a cocktail bar, the Schweppes Terrace offers an exclusive atmosphere and a direct connection to the restaurant, making it an ideal venue for social gatherings, private events, business meetings, press events, or even film and photo shoots.
Location
The concert hall, located in the central section of the ship within the hull, is one of the A38 Ship’s iconic venues and is accessible from the main entrance.
The space is equipped with world-class built-in sound and lighting systems, unique acoustic solutions, comprehensive sound insulation, and a professional broadcast recording system. The single, open-plan interior and its technical setup can be flexibly adapted to meet the specific requirements of each event.
The concert hall is ideally suited for hosting conferences, award ceremonies, fashion shows, large-scale press events, receptions, and live music performances. A key advantage is its versatility as a plenary hall, while the adjoining spaces – the Motor Bar and the Bow Studio – can function as distinctive breakout or section rooms.
Location
The Bow Terrace is located on the same deck level as the restaurant and is accessible from the main entrance. From here, the rooftop terrace can also be reached.
The partially covered terrace at the bow of the ship offers a unique view of the Danube and Budapest’s cityscape, with a panorama extending as far as the Chain Bridge. The deck area is complemented by maritime relics, creating a distinctive and authentic nautical atmosphere.
The Bow Terrace is an ideal venue from spring to autumn for birthday parties, friendly gatherings, and other relaxed events.
Location
The highest guest area of A38 Ship is located above the restaurant, offering a stunning panoramic view of the city and the Danube. The space is fully covered and weatherproof, with openable side walls that allow it to adapt flexibly to weather conditions and the nature of the event.
The venue features a bar counter and a separable VIP terrace area. From spring to autumn, it is an ideal location for product launches, larger social gatherings, gala events, and buffet-style receptions.
Location
The Bow Studio (Orr Stúdió) is located in the bow section of the ship, within the hull, and can be accessed both from the main entrance and from the concert hall.
Completely renovated in 2021, this small-scale venue with a distinctive atmosphere is defined by minimalist and industrial interior design elements. Concert posters preserved on one of the walls pay tribute to the A38 Ship’s iconic events.
The Bow Studio is an ideal choice for smaller concerts, more informal corporate events, and private social gatherings.
Location
The Motor Bar is located in the aft section of the ship, inside the hull, behind the concert hall, and can be accessed from there.
Converted from the ship’s former engine room, this distinctive space retains the vessel’s original character. The combination of industrial design elements, the preserved control panel, the diesel engine, custom furnishings, and ambient lighting creates a bold and unique atmosphere.
The Motor Bar can be connected to the Concert Hall via a corridor, or used as a fully independent space if required. It is an ideal venue for small-scale workshops, press events, presentations, lectures, private gatherings, and birthday celebrations.
