Details

Cruising the Bosphorus Strait—the only sea passage worldwide linking the Black Sea to the Marmara Sea—unveils magnificent panoramas of Istanbul's split personality: bustling European shores and serene Asian coasts.
Sunset reigns supreme as the most magical hour, transforming the strait into a golden canvas where Ottoman minarets pierce amber skies and city lights flicker like stars.

Board a luxury yacht for this early evening escape, relaxing on plush decks with complimentary drinks (homemade lemonade, tea, coffee) and snacks (fruit platters, canapés) while gliding past crown jewels: extravagant Dolmabahçe Palace (1856 Ottoman masterpiece with 285 rooms, 4.5-ton crystal chandelier, and sultans' opulent legacy); mighty Rumeli Fortress (Mehmet the Conqueror's 1452 blitz-build in just 4 months to conquer Constantinople); and vibrant Galata district (crown jewel: 1348 Genoese Galata Tower, medieval sentinel offering 360° views amid trendy cafes, galleries, and the fishing-frenzied Galata Bridge).
