Our cruise was at night and with dinner included. The cruise was very nice - I wss worried I would get seasick but the boat was steady enough. I only wish there was some information or a self guide about the places that we could see outside the window. The dinner was good with a couple of chices for the main course, although, none vegetarian ones. The one thing that was not quite okay wss the price of the beverage - a glass of wine cost 500 TRy!!! And intially we weren't advised of those. And when we asked for the bill we were told it was 400 TRY, so we had to bargain for that price to be applied - which is still a lot!! Everything else, including the program, was very nice and enjoyable!

Bosphorus Cruise Dinner experience was really awesome for our family. Dinner was an average. Other than that all the performances and the journey was really really amazing. On top of that they provided us the hotel pick and drop service too.

The experience was pretty nice. Dance performances topped it all. But the waiters were a bit rude. Also, the drinks being unlimited, I felt like being taken too much time, so that they can serve less. But other than these, all were okay!

Good atmosphere, apart from the alcohol the drinks are long overdue. They ask you to arrive 15 minutes early and leave the dock one hour after the start of activities. If the appetizer was already on the tables, the main course was a long time coming. This is a classic dinner (starter, main course, dessert), not a four-course tasting.

Get picked up from your hotel or arrive at the port. Hop on the cruise boat and be seated at your VIP private table at a prime spot close to the stage as you admire the stunning panoramic views of the Bosphorus Strait that separates Europe and Asia. See Istanbul's iconic landmarks, including Dolmabahce Palace which served as the main administrative center of the Ottoman Empire from 1856 to 1887 and from 1909 to 1922. Others include Beylerbeyi Palace, Bosphorus Bridge, Rumeli Fortress, and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, the 5th-longest suspension bridge span in the world. Illuminated at night, the sight of these monuments from the Strait is breathtaking.

Enjoy traditional onboard entertainment

Watch talented performers dance and perform traditional music from different regions of Turkey. The entertainment consists of a Katibim show (a traditional Turkish musical performance), an Asuk Masuk (an imitation play of dwarfs from the Taseli district of Silifke performed by two male dancers), a mixed folk dance, belly dancers, Caucasian folk dance and live DJ performance.

Next, it's time for a four-course Turkish-inspired meal. Indulge in mouth-watering dishes, such as tender lamb shank, succulent grilled chicken, and savory stuffed vegetables. You can wash it down with unlimited drinks (based on the option selected) from the onboard bar. The lively atmosphere onboard is contagious, and you cannot help but tap your feet into the DJ's music. After cruising for about 3 hours, the ship returns to port.
