For anyone visiting Istanbul, this cruise is a must-do. The dinner was delicious, featuring authentic Turkish dishes like köfte and meze platters. The entertainment was varied, from cultural dance to light-hearted music. As the night progressed, we spent time on the open-air deck, where the peaceful water and distant city lights created a magical atmosphere. Everything ran smoothly, and we were dropped off safely back at our hotel without delay.

This was hands down the best evening we spent in Istanbul. Our hotel pickup was right on time, and the staff on board welcomed us warmly. As we sailed away from the shore, the sun began to set, casting golden hues across the city skyline. Dinner was beautifully presented, with a nice selection of meze, grilled chicken, and fresh salads. The folk dances and belly dancer performance were lively but not over the top. We ended the night sipping tea on the deck, watching the bridges light up.

Every part of this cruise was thoughtfully planned. From the prompt hotel pickup to the warm welcome on board, we felt well taken care of. The Turkish folk dances and whirling dervish show added rich cultural meaning to the night. I particularly enjoyed the boat’s route—we passed under the Bosphorus Bridge and along both shores, getting close views of Istanbul’s palaces and mansions.
