Bosphorus Sunset Cruise Tour

We enjoyed beautiful views of the Bosphorus Strait from a wonderful location until sunset. You can get a great view of Dolmabahçe Palace, Rumeli Hisarı, and the Maiden's Tower from the sea as you pass under the bridges. Chef Ahmet served warm tea and distributed blankets. The fruit and cookie platter, along with the additional french fries and toast, were also delicious. With drink service included, this tour offers great value and is highly recommended. Please do order drinks and additional food! Thank you for the lovely magnet gift! This is my third time in Turkey, and this cruise is the best for relaxing and enjoying the music. Thank you for the excellent service, Chef Ahmet!

An unforgettable Bosphorus sunset experience! The Bosphorus Sunset Tour in Istanbul was an absolute highlight of my trip. Watching the city transform as the sun slowly dipped behind the skyline was nothing short of magical. The blend of soft golden light reflecting off the water, the silhouettes of centuries-old palaces, and the call to prayer echoing across the strait created an atmosphere I’ll never forget. The boat was comfortable and beautifully maintained, with plenty of space to enjoy the views from all angles. The crew were friendly, professional,and there is an audio guide available, from the Dolmabahçe Palace to the Maiden’s Tower and the impressive bridges connecting Europe and Asia. One of my favorite moments was cruising past the waterfront mansions and watching the city lights begin to shimmer as night approached. It felt peaceful, romantic, and incredibly scenic. It’s the perfect way to experience the city’s beauty, history, and charm all at once. Highly recommended! ⸻

The atmosphere was absolutely wonderful. The snacks focused on pastries and fruits. The views on both sides of the water were incredibly beautiful, encompassing both the European and Asian shores. The boat sailed slowly near the lighthouse in the middle of the water.

The itinerary and experience were excellent. We saw a long sunset, and visited every classic attraction. I highly recommend this for travelers who don't have time to visit each attraction individually. You get to see both the Old Town and the New Town. The boat tour lasted about two hours and didn't return to port early, which was really great.

Two hours is quite a long time. Even in summer, the wind gradually gets colder, so it's a good idea to bring a light jacket or shawl. If you don't order snacks, only water will be served. Istanbul looks very beautiful from the river. It's affordable, so I recommend it. However, the boarding point is a bit hard to find, but when I asked someone who looked like staff nearby, they guided me, even though they were from a different company.

The boarding area was a bit confusing. There were various boats docked at the cruise ship boarding point, and since I arrived early, I tried to board from an entrance near the plaza, but it was the wrong one. Apparently, those who booked the sunset cruise board from an area further around the corner, and that's where I was able to get on. Also, for seating, I recommend the left side facing the direction of travel!

for what it’s worth it turned out to be the best or the highlight of my Istanbul experience. the boat was huge and clean. the staffs were friendly and amazong. I didn’t choose the food option and it was still worth it.

A wonderful Bosphorus cruise with a Russian audio guide, we saw the sights from a different perspective and enjoyed the sunset. It took about two hours. Be careful, they may change the departure time to an earlier one, they notify you by email. Blankets are provided during the trip, and they gave us souvenir magnets 🤍

One of the highlights of our trip to Istanbul! The Bosphorus Sunset Cruise was absolutely breathtaking. Watching the sun set between the European and Asian sides of the city while sailing past the beautiful palaces, mosques, and bridges was unforgettable. The boat was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything was very well organized from start to finish. The snacks and drinks were a nice touch, and the views were incredible the entire time. We took so many amazing photos, especially during golden hour. If you’re visiting Istanbul, this cruise is a must-do. It’s the perfect way to relax and experience the beauty of the city from the water. Highly recommended! 🌅🚤

The Istanbul sunset is truly beautiful! The package I purchased even included cookies, fruit, and a soft drink.
