Rescue personnel could be seen early on Tuesday on a barge next to the partially raised boat, carrying stretchers, each with a body bag on them.
Divers, meanwhile, were continuing to search the hull of the boat in the early stages of the lifting procedure.
A huge floating crane is being used at Budapest's Margit Bridge, where the boat sank May 29 after colliding with a much larger river cruise ship.
Nineteen South Korean tourists and a Hungarian crewman are confirmed to have died, with eight people still listed as missing.
Only seven of the 35 people on board - 33 South Koreans and two Hungarian crew members - were rescued.
