Bosphorus Dinner Cruise – A Magical Night in Istanbul

Join us for an unforgettable night on the Bosphorus—book your cruise now!

Sail between Europe and Asia under the stars, enjoy a delicious Turkish dinner, and watch live shows on the water. The perfect evening in Istanbul starts here.

If you’re looking for a special way to spend an evening in Istanbul, the Bosphorus Dinner Cruise is something you’ll remember for a long time. It’s not just about the food—it’s a full evening out on the water, with beautiful views, good company, and lively entertainment.

See Istanbul from the Water

Once you’re on board, the boat gently sails along the Bosphorus Strait, right between Europe and Asia. As the sun goes down and the city lights come up, everything around you starts to sparkle. You’ll pass by famous sights like:

  • Dolmabahçe Palace
  • Ortaköy Mosque
  • The Bosphorus Bridge
  • Rumeli Fortress
  • Maiden’s Tower

The atmosphere is calm, romantic, and truly beautiful.

Dinner with a View

Dinner is a 3-course meal made in traditional Turkish style. You can choose between meat, fish, or vegetarian dishes. You’ll also enjoy tasty mezes, fresh salads, and a sweet dessert like baklava or seasonal fruit. Drinks are included too—either soft drinks or, if you choose, unlimited alcohol.

Whether you’re sitting near the window or out on the deck, every part of the meal comes with a great view.

Live Shows and Music

As you eat, you’ll be entertained by traditional Turkish performances. There’s belly dancing, folk dancing from different parts of the country, and a henna ceremony. Later in the evening, there’s live music and a DJ, so you can get up and dance if you feel like it.

Perfect for Any Occasion

This cruise is great for couples, families, or groups of friends. It’s also a lovely choice for birthdays, anniversaries, or just a romantic evening out. Compared to a noisy nightclub, it’s a calm and classy way to enjoy the night.

Disappointing experience

The views were beautiful, but the rest of the experience was underwhelming. The food was cold, and the service was slow. The Turkish shows felt repetitive and not engaging. Not worth the money, unfortunately.

Ganz okay

Die Aussicht auf den Bosporus war wunderschön, und die Shows waren unterhaltsam. Das Essen war in Ordnung, aber nichts Besonderes. Insgesamt eine nette Erfahrung.

Przyjemny wieczór

Rejs był bardzo przyjemny, widoki na Bosfor niesamowite. Jedzenie mogło być lepsze, ale pokazy tureckie były interesujące. Ogólnie fajne doświadczenie.

An incredibly enjoyable experience of Istanbul!

I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to every traveler. We had an amazing night and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. The service, from pick up to drop off at our hotel, was exceptional. While the food may not be the absolute best, it is presented in a classy manner, from appetizers to desserts. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the overall atmosphere, with the dancers and fellow tourists, is fantastic.

Disappointing!

The views were nice, but the food was below average and the service was slow. The Turkish shows felt rushed and lacked energy. Not worth the price, unfortunately.

An extraordinary experience!

I strongly advise selecting the transportation-inclusive option! Istanbul's traffic can be a nightmare, but having transportation included ensured we didn't have to stress about being late!
