Bosphorus Turkish Night Dinner Cruise with Hotel Pickup

If you want an unforgettable evening on the Bosphorus without thinking about transport, this Bosphorus Turkish night dinner cruise is ideal. You are collected from your hotel, then watch the Ottoman palaces and the two intercontinental bridges lit up over the water while you enjoy a three-course dinner and Turkish night shows.

How the evening runs

Pickup is usually between 19:15 and 20:00; the exact time is confirmed after booking. The boat departs at 21:00 and returns at around 23:30, an experience of about three hours, after which you are dropped back at your hotel.

Food, drinks and the show

A set-menu dinner and unlimited soft drinks are served on board. If you choose the alcoholic drinks option, two drinks per person are included. During dinner, Turkish night shows including belly dancing, live music and a DJ set keep the evening lively.

Pickup areas

Pickup is from hotels in Sultanahmet, Aksaray, Laleli, the Grand Bazaar area, Sirkeci, Karaköy, Taksim, Beyoğlu, Fatih, Eminönü, Cankurtaran, Şişli, Kadırga, Kumkapı and Beyazıt. There is no pickup from the Asian side; if you are staying there, you meet at a designated point in the European-side city centre.

Practical tips

Be ready in your hotel lobby 10 minutes before pickup. Professional photos and personal expenses are not included. Infants sit on an adult's lap, and the boat is not wheelchair accessible. It can be cool on the water at night, so bring a light layer.
