Frequently Asked
What tours do you offer?
An evening Bosphorus dinner cruise — doors 20:00, departure 21:00, back by midnight — with the full menu, a Turkish night programme (whirling dervish, belly dance, folk), a DJ on the open deck, and unlimited soft drinks. Departing from Eminönü Pier.
Are alcoholic drinks included?
Unlimited soft drinks (water, cola, juice) are included for every guest. Alcohol is optional: the drinks package at +€15 per person is unlimited all evening — beer, rakı, red and white wine, gin and vodka — from the bar on board.
Where does the cruise depart from and return to?
We depart from Eminönü Pier at 21:00 and return to the same pier between 23:45 and midnight. Doors open at 20:00 — feel free to come early and settle in on deck.
What route does the cruise follow?
Eminönü → Karaköy → Dolmabahçe → Çırağan → Ortaköy Mosque → Bosphorus Bridge → Bebek → Rumeli Fortress → Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge → Beylerbeyi → Üsküdar → Maiden's Tower → Eminönü. The route may vary depending on weather and sea conditions.
Are tables close to the stage?
The panoramic windows of the salon offer clear Bosphorus views from every seat, and the stage is positioned to be visible from all tables. For a special occasion, ask about the romantic table when booking.
What shows and entertainment are there?
A live programme runs throughout the evening: the whirling dervish ceremony, folk dances from across Anatolia, the drum ensemble, belly dance (the night's peak) — then, from dessert, the DJ on the open deck until the pier.
Can I book for the same day?
Yes — same-day reservations are accepted until the 21:00 departure. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll check availability instantly.
How do I pay?
No prepayment is required. All payment is made on board. We accept cash (EUR, TRY, USD) and card.
Is hotel transfer available?
Yes — hotel-to-pier-to-hotel transfer is available at +€5 per person. Before the tour, our driver collects you from your hotel and brings you to the pier; after the tour, the same driver waits at the pier and drops you back at your hotel. No need to plan transportation.
Can I cancel or change my reservation?
Free cancellation is possible up to 2 hours before departure (until 19:00). Since there's no prepayment, the process is hassle-free — just send us a message.
What happens in bad weather?
The boat has a heated indoor salon with panoramic windows and an open-air deck. In rain, the open deck closes while dinner and the show continue inside uninterrupted. The cruise runs regardless of weather conditions.
Is it suitable for all ages?
Yes, the cruise is open to guests of all ages. Children aged 0–3 join free of charge, ages 4–9 pay €19.70 on the standard package and €40 on VIP, and from age 10 full price applies.
Can you arrange surprises for special occasions?
Yes — for anniversaries, birthdays and marriage proposals, add the romantic table (candles and flowers, +€15) at reservation, or message us on WhatsApp and we'll plan the moment together.
How do I get to Eminönü Pier?
The T1 tram stops at Eminönü, a 1-minute walk from the pier, and Sirkeci station on the Marmaray line is five minutes away on foot. From Sultanahmet and Hagia Sophia it is about ten minutes' walk. City ferries from Üsküdar and Kadıköy land at the same quay, taxis can drop you at the pier entrance, and paid car parks sit nearby.
How early should I arrive?
Doors open at 20:00 and we cast off at 21:00 sharp. Arriving by 20:30 gives you time to find your table, settle in and catch the evening light on the water.
What should I wear?
Smart casual works perfectly — most guests dress up a little for the evening. Nights on the water can be breezy even in summer, so a light layer is a good idea for the open deck.
Do you have vegetarian or vegan options?
A vegetarian main is prepared on request rather than printed on the menu — tell us on WhatsApp when you book and it is waiting for you at no extra cost. The cold meze spread is largely vegetarian in itself. There is no vegan or gluten-free menu on this boat.
