Make the most of an evening in Istanbul with a sparkling 5-hour dinner cruise experience on the Bosphorus Strait. Admire spectacular views of Istanbul’s beautifully illuminated palaces, mosques and Bosphorus bridges, and enjoy a delicious 3-course dinner with select drinks. Glittering entertainment from belly dancers, whirling dervishes and other artistes is included, along with hotel pickup and drop-off. Upgrade to an unlimited alcoholic drinks package if you wish.

Choose your tour option on booking. Then, after pickup from your Istanbul hotel, travel to the departure jetty on the Bosphorus Strait where your comfortable boat awaits.

Step aboard and enjoy a welcome drink and live music as you settle on deck or in the cabin. Have your camera ready as your boat sails along the strait, the waterway that divides the city’s European and Asian sides.

Admire the beautiful Sultanahmet skyline, with the floodlit domes of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia taking center stage. Drink in the twinkling lights of the waterside Ottoman palaces and monuments, and capture the two illuminated Bosphorus bridges on camera.

Then, sit down to a mouth-watering 3-course dinner, with a choice of a fish- or meat-based menu, both beautifully prepared by skilled chefs. 

Depending on the option you’ve selected, enjoy your meal with select sodas and alcoholic drinks, or with an unlimited alcoholic drinks package.

As you relax, enjoy dazzling live entertainment from a variety of folkloric artistes. Enjoy colorful gypsy, belly-dancing, Caucasus and Anatolian dance shows; together with a drum show, henna ceremony and hypnotic whirling dervish performance. After a set from a live DJ, your cruise then ends with a hotel drop-off at about midnight.
