Everything about the cruise, before you book it
What the three hours are really like, what the price covers, what to wear, whether it is worth it. Written by the people who run the boat, for the people deciding whether to come.
Dinner cruise vs public ferry at night
The Şehir Hatları ferry is cheap, honest and best in daylight; a dinner cruise is a full evening with a table, dinner, a show and a three-hour loop. When to pick which.
Is a Bosphorus dinner cruise worth it?
What €24.6 actually buys on a Bosphorus dinner cruise, what the add-ons cost, who the evening suits, who should skip it, and why no prepayment makes it low risk.
Unlimited drinks package explained
An open bar from boarding to the return: beer, rakı, vodka, gin, red and white wine, per adult, paid on the boat. What it covers, when it pays off, and how to drink rakı.
What to wear on the cruise
There is no dress code. Smart casual is what most guests wear, and a light jacket is what most guests forget. Here is what works in the salon, on the open deck, and on the dance floor.
Dinner, the show and both shores, in one evening
No prepayment. Book in a minute, pay on the boat, cancel free up to two hours before departure.
