Great experience!

Organized pick up and drop off. The dinner was tasty. Dance show was great! Lots of fun overall. The views at night were really spectacular. Definitely recommend this for anyone looking to knock out multiple experiences in a short time. We were only in Istanbul for a day, so it was really great for us!

Great views, entertainment and service.

A bit of a cattle call even during the pandemic. The food is pretty marginal. But we really enjoyed the cruise, views, entertainment and service. Unlimited alcohol package was well worth it.

Great experience
Me and my wife took this trip when were advised to do so from our concierge at the Ciragan palace Kempinski .. The boat picked us up from our hotel pier which was really cool.. We were welcomed by Mr. Alper who is a very nice guy whom explained to us about many things in istanbul.. The show was great especially the bellydancer , food can be better and sitting on deck is a great experience with all those nice buildings surrounding the boot from both sides.. Overall ,one of the best night cruises in Istanbul..
