Dinner cruise with
pickup at your hotel

+€5 per person, and that covers both directions — hotel to Cibali Pier before the cruise and back to the hotel afterwards. It is added to the €24.6 fare and paid on board with the rest of the bill. Children up to three years old do not pay for it.

Sultanahmet, Fatih, Laleli, Eminönü, Sirkeci, Beyoğlu, Taksim, Şişli, Beşiktaş, Ortaköy, Kağıthane, Sütlüce, Topkapı and Yenikapı. The price is the same across all of them; only the pickup time changes with the distance.

Both legs are included in the same +€5 per person. The return leaves from the pier after the boat is alongside, between 23:45 and 00:00, and takes you back to your hotel.

We work it back from boarding, which opens at 20:00, and from where your hotel is, so guests in Taksim are collected earlier than guests in Sultanahmet. You get the pickup window on WhatsApp once the booking is confirmed rather than a guess at the time of booking.

Yes, if you ask before 18:30. After that the vehicles for the evening are already committed, so the cruise stays open — same-day reservations run until 21:00 — but you would make your own way to Cibali Pier.

Yes. The transfer only runs to those fourteen districts, but the cruise is open to everyone. The T5 tram stops at Cibali, taxi and ride-hailing drivers know Kadir Has University, and we send the exact map pin on WhatsApp when your booking is confirmed.

No. Nothing on this cruise is paid in advance. The transfer goes on the same bill as the fare and is settled on board at the end of the evening, in cash — euro, lira or dollars — or by card.

Cibali Pier on the Golden Horn, in the Fatih district beside Kadir Has University. The boat sails at 21:00 and comes back to the same pier between 23:45 and 00:00.

Pickups are organised around the evening's bookings by district, so you may share the ride with other guests coming from the same part of the city. Either way the price is +€5 per person and the vehicle comes to your hotel entrance.

Children up to three years old travel free, on the boat and in the vehicle. From four to nine the cruise costs €5 less than the adult fare, and the transfer is +€5 per person as it is for adults.

Message us on WhatsApp as soon as you know. If you can still reach the pier before the boat leaves at 21:00 we will hold your table; if the pickup no longer works, we can drop the transfer and you keep the booking. Cancelling altogether is free up to two hours before departure.

For one or two guests from the old city, a taxi to Cibali is competitive. The transfer wins on the way back, at midnight, and it wins on a group, because +€5 per person buys both directions with a vehicle that is already waiting at the pier.

The T5 tram runs along the Golden Horn and the stop is called Cibali, a short walk from the pier. From Sultanahmet, take the T1 to Eminönü and change to the T5 for two stops. From the Asian side, take a ferry to Eminönü and do the same.

Yes, as long as it is before 18:30 on the day. Send us a message on WhatsApp with your hotel name and we will confirm the pickup window and add +€5 per person to your bill.

The unlimited drinks package is +€15 per adult and covers beer, rakı, vodka, gin, and red and white wine — imported drinks such as whisky, tequila and champagne, and cocktails, are charged separately at the bar. A romantic table setup is +€15 per booking. Both go on the same bill, paid on board.

€24.6 per person covers the three-hour cruise, dinner from ten cold mezes through a warm starter and a main course of your choice to dessert, unlimited soft drinks, and the eight-act live programme with the whirling dervish ceremony, folk and Caucasian dances, belly dance, live violin and a DJ.
