Full Cruise Description

Discover the sights and history of Istanbul from the water on this cruise down the Bosphorus. Relax whilst cruising the Bosphorus on a modern luxury yacht enjoying the imperial elegance and the unique panoramic view of a beautifully lit Istanbul's Asian and European side. Pass under the two suspended Bosphorus bridges that connect Europe and Asia, enjoying the picturesque sights on both continents including Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, The Leander Tower and Istanbul's most posh areas Ortakoy and Bebek. Snap photos of the city skyline, and listen to your guide about the confluence of cultures that exists at this meeting point between Europe and Asia.

The Bosphorus separating two continents has always been crucial to life in Istanbul. Once a prime channel to move fearsome armies through, it now serves more peaceful functions. Seeing this important trading route is a must-do for travelers.

On board our luxury yacht, hear stories and anecdotes of this mesmerizing city. Admire the thick walls of the medieval Rumeli Fortress.

The Bosphorus Strait divides Europe from Asia, and a Bosphorus cruise is a signature Istanbul experience. This round-trip yacht cruise, with live commentary and fun facts from an experienced guide, covers all the classic waterfront sights-bridges, palaces, the Maiden's Tower, the Rumeli Fortress, and more.

Enjoyable tour

Viator review: I booked the yacht trip based on the reviews and I'm glad I did. I felt we had a personalised tour of the Bosphorus, with a very attentive staff who kept bringing snacks and drinks and a knowledgeable guide who was happy to answer all the questions we had. The yacht was spacious and not fully packed which was very appreciated.

a nice way to spend a few hours in Istanbul

I booked the tour the day before it took place. I had them pick me up at the hotel the morning of the tour. I did have to email the guide the evening before asking specifically what time I was to be downstairs in the lobby. I do not know if I would have been notified of this had I not emailed first. I was picked up on time in a small van. We stopped a few more times and picked up at other nearby hotels on the way to the harbor. The boat was nice and clean. There were around 10 of us on the tour so there was plenty of room to spread out and stay distanced. The crew/staff were all courteous and polite. When you stop in Kanlica make sure you try the yogurt. I got mine with honey and it was delicious. I am glad I booked this tour because we did pass a few other boats that appeared to be doing similar things and they were all much more crowded and people were very close together. They were also larger boats and not nearly as nice. I felt it was worth the extra money to be on a much nicer boat with a smaller group. A nice way to spend a few hours in Istanbul.

Excellent experience

There was a friendly atmosphere and pleasant service. The guide gave a nice amount of information about sights along the way, but not too much. Plenty of time to relax and take everything in.
