You'll have ample time to step outside and take photos or simply enjoy the cool Bosphorus breeze. The boat is designed with multiple viewing areas so you never miss a moment of the stunning surroundings.
Throughout the journey, the onboard team ensures comfort and service, making sure all guests have a pleasant and enjoyable time.
