What an epic evening cruising the Bosphorus on the Royal Yacht! From the get-go, everything was spot on—friendly crew, chilled vibes, and stunning views of Istanbul’s skyline as the sun went down. I’ve been on sunset cruises before, but this one had something special—the right balance of luxury and comfort without feeling too fancy. The yacht had heaps of space, and the crew were top notch, making sure we were happy without hovering over us. The optional dinner? Absolute winner. Fresh fish straight off the grill, paired with great side dishes and some local wine—it was such a treat. Floating past the lit-up bridges and palaces was pure magic. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants to see Istanbul from a new angle.
