Description
Sail past Istanbul's lit-up palaces and bridges while you eat a Turkish dinner and watch folk dancing, a rhythm performance and belly dancing, then dance to the onboard DJ.
Meet your host at the Kabataş tram station exit and walk together to the pier, where the cruise boat is waiting. Once aboard, find your table in the dining hall as the boat sets off along the Bosphorus.
The route follows both shores of the strait after dark. Watch for Dolmabahçe Palace, Çırağan Palace and the Ortaköy waterfront, then pass beneath the Bosphorus Bridge toward Bebek, Rumeli Fortress and the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge. On the way back you will see Anadolu Fortress, Beylerbeyi Palace, the Maiden's Tower and Galataport.
Dinner starts with Turkish mezes and a seasonal salad, followed by a main course of beef, fish or chicken, and ends with Turkish delight or fruit. Soft drinks are included, and a vegetarian main course can be requested. While you eat, the stage comes alive with traditional folk dances, a rhythm show and a belly dance performance. After the shows, a DJ takes over so you can keep dancing until the boat returns to the pier.
