Tips
Itinerary
Your tour begins at Dentur Avrasya Kabataş İskelesi
Arrive at Kabataş Pier and check in near the boats. Find the orange boat, step aboard, and settle into your private table as the waterfront lights shimmer on the strait.
Cruise the Bosphorus as palaces glow on the shoreline
First, you glide along the European side with Dolmabahçe Palace lit up beside the water. Cool night air and passing ferry wakes set the mood while Istanbul’s skyline stretches ahead.
Sail beneath the Bosphorus Bridge between Europe and Asia
Next, pass under the Bosphorus Bridge as the city shifts from grand avenues to hillside neighborhoods. Look out for waterfront mansions and changing silhouettes that make Istanbul feel vast and close at once.
Watch Whirling Dervishes and high-energy folk dances
Then the show begins with Turkey's famous ever-spinning dancers, the Whirling Dervishes, followed by regional folk performances with sharp footwork and bold costumes. The music builds as the boat keeps moving, turning the cruise into a sailing stage.
Enjoy dinner with included drinks at your private table
After that, dinner is served with your choice of grilled chicken, fish, falafel, or pasta. You’ll also receive two glasses of local alcoholic drinks plus unlimited soft drinks during the cruise.
Your tour ends at Beşiktaş, Beyoğlu, Dentur Avrasya Kabataş İskelesi, or Fatih
Finally, the boat returns to shore. Disembark at one of four central drop-off points: Beşiktaş, Beyoğlu, Dentur Avrasya Kabataş İskelesi, or Fatih. Step back onto the waterfront with the music fading behind you and the Bosphorus still in view.
