Myself and partner were pleasantly surprised with how fantastic the evening was. From the moment we stepped onto the vessel, we were greeted with warm smiles and great hospitality. The staff were very prompt in getting us our drinks, and the three course meal was delicious; consisting of delicious traditional Turkish food all round! We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of entertainment in the form of dance shows, live music and audience interaction - the talent of these performers was outstanding! We didn't expect to have entertainment throughout, pretty much, the entire cruise. The belly dancer in particular was mesmerising; the audience were transfixed! The outside views themselves were fantastic, and it was very easy to see it all without having to get up from our seats! The experience was also such great value for money; we'd spent more money on just a one meal earlier that day (and the cruise dinner was far better!) Overall, it was definitely the best experience we had in Istanbul, and I'd say it's definitely an unmissable experience. 10/10.

I love the food and the various programmes inside the boat .I would recommend this package. They also take your photos and if we want those to take home, we can request for one for 10 euro. They have an option to request for the whole album for 90 euro. I would recommend to select the photo of your choice, which is the economically best.

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!

Just a comment about the cruise not about your service : The food wasn't really good, no tea at the end, the music was really loud.

Your experience

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.
