Shows, lights, flavors—and the breeze where continents meet

🛳️ We Care About Your Journey, Not Just the Destination

Coming from the Asian side of Istanbul? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. We know getting to the cruise from the other side of the Bosphorus can be a hassle. That’s why we provide free hotel transfers from all central districts, including Taksim, Sultanahmet, Galata, Eminönü, Sirkeci, and Fatih, and even from the Asian side for most bookings. You’ll be picked up in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and dropped off directly at the pier next to Dolmabahçe Palace. No stress. No getting lost. Just step in and enjoy the night.

🍷 Unlimited Local Drinks? Yes, Please!

Let’s be honest—what’s a night cruise party without a little something to sip on? Our Bosphorus Dinner Cruise includes unlimited local alcoholic beverages such as Turkish rakı, beer, and wine. Non-alcoholic options are also available for those who prefer to keep it mellow.

Want something more international? You’re welcome to order from a selection of imported drinks available on board for an additional charge. Our friendly staff will be there to help you choose your favorite.

🌟 What Awaits You on the Bosphorus?

Come aboard for a crazy, colorful night full of culture, music, and joy—all sailing through the magical Bosphorus under the stars.

🎭 A Show Like No Other

Get ready for an authentic oriental extravaganza:

Whirling dervish ceremony to witness a spiritual ritual

Henna night performance, echoing the joy of a local wedding

Regional folk dances from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean

And of course, the dazzling Belly Dance Show, the highlight of the night

All of this unfolds while you cruise between two continents, surrounded by the shimmering lights of Europe and Asia.

🍽️ What’s on the Menu?

Dinner is a three-course feast, celebrating the best of Turkish cuisine:

A delicious starter platter of meze (traditional cold appetizers)

Your choice of meat, fish, chicken, or a vegetarian main course

A sweet final note: seasonal fruits or Turkish dessert

And remember: your local drinks are unlimited throughout the meal and the show.

🌉 Why It’s Worth Every Minute

Imagine this: You’re standing on the upper deck, the wind in your hair, with a glass of Turkish wine in hand. You look out and see the palaces of the sultans, the glowing mosques, and the bridges lit up like necklaces strung across the Bosphorus. On one side is Europe, on the other, Asia. You’re literally cruising between worlds.

This is not just dinner. It’s an experience you’ll remember forever.
