Dinner Cruise with Turkish Night Show: 2.5 Hours on the Bosphorus

A romantic dinner on the evening waters of the Bosphorus followed by a packed entertainment programme. This dinner cruise with Turkish night show brings together the flavours of Turkish cuisine and Anatolia's many dance traditions in one evening, as Istanbul's illuminated landmarks glide past.

The menu

The evening starts with a welcome cocktail and ten kinds of cold meze, followed by a fresh seasonal salad and soup. There are three main courses to choose from: a mixed grill of chicken steak and meatballs with rice, grilled fish with rocket and onion rings, or a vegetarian plate of curried rice, sautéed vegetables, oven potatoes and pasta with vegetables.

The show programme

After dinner, professional troupes take the stage: a whirling dervish performance, Turkish Roma dance, Caucasian dance, a belly-dance group show, Turkish folk dances, a rhythm show and a solo belly dancer. The night ends with a DJ set.

Special occasions

If you are celebrating a birthday or an anniversary, just add a note to your booking. Unlimited local soft drinks are included; the alcoholic drinks option comes with a per-person limit.

Practical tips

Tips and private transport are not included; the pier is easy to reach by public transport. Infants sit on an adult's lap, and the boat is not wheelchair accessible. If you would like the vegetarian menu, add it to your booking notes. It can get cool on the water in the evening, so bring a light layer.
