Looking for a magical Istanbul night without going overboard on budget or alcohol? The Orient Bosphorus Dinner Cruise with Alcohol Menu is a perfect middle-ground experience. This option includes a set dinner menu and limited alcoholic beverages, allowing guests to enjoy a festive atmosphere with stunning views of the Bosphorus.

You’ll begin with hotel pickup and board the boat before sunset. Your evening starts with cold appetizers, a traditional salad, and a main dish — usually a choice of grilled chicken, fish, or meatballs — along with fruit or dessert to end the meal. While drinks are not unlimited like the premium tour, wine, beer, or raki are served generously with your meal.

What makes this cruise memorable is its energetic, family-friendly cultural program. Highlights include:

• Live music and traditional Turkish instruments

• A colorful belly dancing show

• Group folk performances from different regions of Turkey

• A DJ to close out the evening with modern Turkish beats

The cruise sails for approximately 3.5 hours, offering uninterrupted views of illuminated palaces, bridges, and the Asian and European shorelines. You’ll return to your hotel feeling inspired by the city’s rhythm and culinary heritage.

This package is perfect for couples, families, or small groups wanting a complete Bosphorus experience without the all-you-can-drink aspect.
