The Lights of Nighttime Istanbul: Views from the Water
Embark on a journey between two continents at the perfect time for it. As night falls, Istanbul transforms. Busy streets become much quieter. The night illumination is the perfect decoration for the Bosphorus waterfronts, with waters shimmering under the lights. The glow of the city and the gentle lapping of the waves set a peaceful mood, allowing you to fully enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, an engaging commentary about the surroundings, and delicious food.

Turkish Dinner and a Spectacular Show
During the cruise, you will be served a multi-course dinner with appetizers, a main course, and dessert. While savoring Turkish cuisine, enjoy a lively show program. The entertainment includes traditional belly dancing, the “Dance with the Def” (tambourine dance), and national performances “Don’t Flirt” and “Ashik Mashik.” You will also take part in the “Henna Night” ceremony, and the evening concludes with an energetic disco accompanied by our DJ.

Make a Wish Between Asia and Europe
As you pass under the Bosphorus Bridge, don’t forget to make a wish. It is believed that anything wished for at this spot is sure to come true.

Everything is very well organized, both the transfer and the event on the ship itself.

The transfer was 40 minutes late. They were not aware that there were three of us, not just one. On the ship, they initially tried to charge the full amount again, forgetting the deposit we had paid. Otherwise, everything was lovely

The view was amazing, the show was fantastic, but the service was lacking. They just put wine glasses at our table that we didn’t drink and charged us at the end, even though the ticket clearly stated “no alcohol,” as we were on medication. There’s no way to argue with them; we ended up paying for pretty glasses with drinks on the table.

This is an amazing adventure along the Bosphorus. Evening Istanbul is beautiful. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. I really enjoyed the entertainment program — a mesmerizing show. We even had a chance to dance a little. I recommend this excursion.

The evening was wonderful. We were picked up from the hotel and returned afterward. Delicious dinner with two glasses of wine or beer each. The show program was extensive, and we even danced along with the performers. Highly recommended.

Everything was great, though it would have been even better if there were at least audio guides available for an extra fee, as there are many historical sites — no information provided.
