Take a posh cruise of the Bosphorus Strait aboard a pleasure boat. After receiving a complimentary cocktail upon arrival, set sail for the Black Sea, passing some of Istanbul's most iconic landmarks on the way.
Cruise across the Bosphorus and Fatih Sultan Mehmed Bridges as you travel between Europe and Asia. Visit the Ottoman sultans' summer palaces, such as Dolmabahçe Palace and Beylerbeyi Palace. Take in the mansions that line both coastlines and the fortifications of Anatolian Castle and Rumeli Castle.
Become seduced by a belly dancer, watch live folk dances from Turkey, and unwind to international music played by the on-board DJ.
