Cruise Istanbul’s Bosphorus at night with a Turkish dinner, unlimited soft drinks, and a 1.5-hour Turkish Night show on a modern boat.
“The whole experience was surprisingly superb. When we saw a boat docked whilst waiting for ours, we regretted not waiting to book until we got to the pier especially as our boat didnt look as great from the exterior. However once we boarded, the service was impeccable, right from the greeting to the already laid starters at the reserved tables. Food was well above my expectations, drinks were constantly served and the entertainment was great. Our waiter (Ibrahim, if Im not mistaken), was so attentive and professional - my family and I were very impressed by it all when compared other dinner cruises we have paid similar prices to in…”

“The Bosphorus sunset cruise was one of the highlights of trip to Istanbul. Everything was well-organized — boarding was quick, the boat was clean and comfortable, and the views of the city during golden hour were absolutely stunning. I especially want to mention Chef River, who created a warm and welcoming atmosphere on board.

They notified me that they would pick us up at our hotel at 5:15 and showed up ant 5:50 after the tour was to leave the Marina at 5:30. Then they tell me I could not ride my scooter to the boat. I didn't need it on the boat but they got a guy on the phone with an attitude. He said he tried to reach me the night before which was not true. We didn't get to go…”
