Great boat Bosphorus tour! The tickets were reasonable priced, it departed on time, got to see lots or cool places at sunset. I’m glad I got the cheaper tour option since that one with the stop wouldn’t add much to it. I lived right where the other group got dropped for the 3h tour and other than some restaurants, a cute lil leather shop and a couple of small gift shops that sell stuff everywhere else it’s not really worth it. You would need more time to enjoy the restaurants so I bet they felt rushed. Thankfully I just got the regular sunset tour which I really enjoyed.

Sign postage on where the boat would dock could be beter. Aside that everything was amazing, plenty places to sit and see the view from all sides. Very good value for money. Treats and tea also to a good standard and the guide is very informative, speaking through a speaker so you can listen while enjoying all the views.


Highlights

This cruise departs from Eminönü in Istanbul's old city and sails the Bosphorus non-stop for 2 hours. Head up the European shore to near the second bridge, then return along the Asian shore, admiring landmarks such as Dolmabahçe Palace, Ortaköy Mosque and Rumeli Hisarı from the water. Choose between a sunset cruise at golden hour and a Night & City Lights cruise that runs from dusk into the glittering city lights. On board, a guide explains the scenery and landmarks on both sides of the strait.


Program

Depart from Eminönü
and sail the Bosphorus for 2 hours

The tour starts on the Eminönü waterfront in the old city. Board a boat with a heated cabin and indoor and outdoor seating, and cruise the Bosphorus for about 2 hours without stopping. Wi-Fi is available on board, and drinks and snacks can be purchased separately.

See palaces and mosques along the European shore

Sailing up the European shore, you pass Galata Tower, Dolmabahçe Palace, Çırağan Palace and Ortaköy Mosque. See the impressive suspension structure of the Bosphorus Bridge up close and enjoy the shoreline stretching to Bebek and Rumeli Hisarı. The guide on board explains the landmarks on both sides of the strait.

Return along the Asian shore

On the way back, follow the Asian shore past Anadolu Hisarı, Küçüksu Palace and Kuleli, and take in the Maiden's Tower and the traditional waterfront mansions. Finally, return toward the old city with views of the Süleymaniye Mosque to end the tour.

Choose a sunset cruise or a night cruise

The sunset cruise sails between two continents as the sky turns golden and crimson. The Night & City Lights cruise lets you see both the golden Bosphorus at dusk and the sparkling Istanbul skyline after dark.

※ Duration may vary by about 15 minutes depending on wind and currents.
※ The route and schedule may change depending on sea traffic and weather conditions.
