Most Turkish nights in Istanbul are held in a room with no windows. Ours runs on the Bosphorus: four live acts through dinner, from the whirling dervish ceremony to belly dance, plus the DJ. €24.7 per person, paid on board.

The programme is the same one Istanbul's dinner-show venues built their reputation on. The difference is the room: ours has the city moving past the windows.
Boarding opens at 20:00 at Eminönü Pier in the old city, the boat leaves at 21:00 and is back between 23:45 and 00:00. The cold mezes are on the table when you board, and the programme runs through dinner in the main salon, with no interval.
Four acts, performed live every night of the year: the whirling dervish ceremony, Anatolian folk dances, a drum ensemble and belly dance, plus the DJ. We do not put a clock time against any act. Nothing is recorded and nothing is mimed.
One price covers all of it: €24.7 per person for the three-hour cruise, dinner from meze to dessert, unlimited soft drinks and the full programme. The unlimited drinks package is +€15 per adult if you want it. Nothing is paid in advance — you settle on board in cash or by card, and cancelling is free up to two hours before departure.
Four acts with real performers, on a stage and between the tables, on every sailing of the year, and a DJ.
The programme is music and dance, so it lands the same whatever language you speak. Guests from thirty-odd countries watch the same show on an ordinary night.
Two enclosed, climate-controlled dining decks with panoramic windows, a stage in the main salon, and an open-air terrace on top to step out between acts. Tables are assigned in advance, so yours is waiting whenever you board.
Listed here as a set, not as a timetable. The crew will tell you what is next, but we will never promise you an act at a given hour.
The sema, turned slowly to reed and drum. It is a ceremony rather than a dance, and it is the quietest part of the evening.
The horon of the Black Sea, the zeybek of the Aegean and the halay of the east, danced in costume, each one from a different part of the country.
Davul, darbuka and bendir, played live rather than backed by a track. The point in the evening where the room gets loud.
The oriental show most guests come expecting, danced between the tables as well as on the stage, so it is not a distant performance.
A DJ plays the after-party, and the dance floor belongs to our guests.
Dinner, the full live show and unlimited soft drinks are included in the price. Extras are optional — add only what you want.

Real photos from real nights on board — the food, the show and the view.
The practical side of a dinner show on a moving boat, answered before you get there.
Boarding opens at 20:00 and tables are assigned in advance, so yours is waiting, with the cold mezes on it, whenever you arrive.
It is the standard Istanbul dinner-show evening: a full Turkish dinner with a live programme of traditional music and dance. Ours has four acts — the whirling dervish ceremony, Anatolian folk dances, a drum ensemble and belly dance — plus a DJ, and it runs on a boat on the Bosphorus rather than in a venue.
Four acts, plus the DJ. The programme runs through dinner in the main salon with no interval, and the boat is back at Eminönü Pier between 23:45 and 00:00.
We do not publish a time for an individual act. What is fixed is the shape of the evening: boarding from 20:00, departure at 21:00, the programme through dinner, back at the pier between 23:45 and 00:00.
Live, on every sailing of the year. The dancers and the drummers are all performing in the room, and the DJ plays the after-party. Nothing in the programme is mimed to a track.
Yes, the sema is one of the four acts. It is a ceremony rather than a performance in the usual sense and it is the calmest part of the evening. As with every act, we do not fix it to a particular hour.
Yes. The oriental show is part of the programme and it is danced between the tables as well as on the stage, so wherever you sit you are close to it.
No. The programme is music and dance with no dialogue, so nothing is lost in translation. The crew speak English, and your booking goes through WhatsApp in whichever language you write.
Yes. €24.7 per person covers the three-hour cruise, dinner — eight cold mezes, a warm starter, a main course you choose and dessert — unlimited soft drinks and the whole four-act programme. There is nothing extra to pay for the show.
Soft drinks are unlimited for everyone. Alcohol is an optional package at +€15 per adult, covering beer, rakı, vodka, gin, and red and white wine for the whole evening. Imported drinks such as whisky, tequila and champagne, and cocktails, are charged separately at the bar.
The stage is in the main salon and the performers also work between the tables, so the show comes to you wherever you are seated. Tables are assigned in advance, so there is no need to board early to claim one.
Yes. Some of the acts pull guests up, and with the DJ the dance floor belongs to our guests.
Yes. The whole programme is family-friendly and children of any age are welcome. Up to three years old they sail free, from four to nine they pay €5 less than the adult fare, and from ten the full fare applies.
Smart casual is right — most guests dress as they would for dinner out. The salons are heated and air-conditioned, but the open-air terrace on top is cooler once the boat is moving, so bring a layer if you want to step outside between acts.
Boarding is at Eminönü Pier, on the old city's waterfront beside the Galata Bridge. The T1 tram stop is called Eminönü, about a minute's walk from the pier, and Sultanahmet is about ten minutes away on foot. Hotel pickup and drop-off is +€5 per person and for the same evening has to be booked before 19:00. We send the exact map pin on WhatsApp once your booking is confirmed.
No. There is no deposit and no online payment. You settle on board at the end of the evening in cash — euro, lira or dollars — or by card, and cancelling is free up to two hours before departure. Reservations for the same evening are open until 21:00.
Yes, every night of the year. Dinner and the four acts are inside the heated, air-conditioned salons, so the weather does not change the show; the open-air terrace on top is there whenever it is mild enough to use it.
