Booked the Standard Cruise for my husband’s birthday and it was honestly one of the best decisions of our Istanbul trip. The Bosphorus at night is pure magic.
The live show was incredible — the Mehter band opened the night and then a belly dancer joined. We were clapping along the whole time. Food was generous and very tasty.
Picked up from our hotel in Taksim at 7 pm, perfectly on time. The crew was bilingual and very helpful. Sailing under the illuminated bridges at night was breathtaking.
Great evening on the Bosphorus. The route under the bridges at night is truly stunning. Rakı and seafood mezze — a perfect pairing. Will definitely return on our next visit.
We chose the non-alcoholic package and the staff were very respectful and attentive throughout. The Bosphorus views and the live entertainment made for a truly memorable evening.
Don’t hesitate, just book it. The sunset was stunning as we cast off, the food was plentiful and the whole team made us feel genuinely welcome. One of Istanbul’s best experiences.
