The dining was spectacular at first glance we thought we were in a fairytale, the moment we reached our table there was a plate of starters already waiting for us and at quality it tasted amazing each flavor sparking delight and experience. The cruise in its self was an experience worthy of breathtaking scenery and the entertainment was outstanding making the trip a must go to when visiting Istanbul. It was lovely thank you to all the amazing staff to.

What I liked most was the feeling of sailing along the Bosphorus while the city lights sparkled all around. The show with the dancers was incredible, full of energy and excitement, really drawing you into the atmosphere. The food was exquisite, and every detail made the experience feel special. It was a magical night, the kind you remember and want to repeat.

The overall experience is good. The food is average, and unlimited drinks are subject to the waiter's discretion. They try to sell you the photos they take. The show is good. The boat isn't very big, but it's clean. We requested a baby seat that never arrived.

Enjoy a 3-hour Bosphorus cruise with your own private table, a delicious 4-course Turkish dinner, plus live entertainment featuring whirling dervishes and DJ beats.

Glide past Istanbul’s top sights like Galata Tower, Dolmabahce Palace, Ortaköy Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace.

Savor a flavorful Turkish dinner with mezze, fish or meat dishes, spring rolls, and pasta, all while you watch sword shows and folk dances.

Upgrade your experience with 2 alcoholic drinks, round-trip hotel transfers, or choose a sunset cruise, with the option to add drinks and snacks for an even more memorable evening.

Dolmabahcec Palace was amazing! The audio guide was great. The dinner cruise was disappointing. Wait staff was fantastic! They worked so hard and did everything possible to make you feel taken care of. Unfortunately, the food was cold. The music was so LOUD it honestly hurt my ears. My husband and I had a table for two and had to text to each other just to converse. TV monitors on the ship should be used to display the stage show instead of displaying highlight of of show. Perhaps if the passengers could see the show easier, they would not be trying to stand up to see all the time. Although I know it upset some passengers, I did appreciate the staff asking people to sit down during the dance performances.

I’d give the palace 5 stars because it’s wonderful—a must-see. The “cruise” was a total disaster: we left half an hour late, the dinner was awful and terrible, the boat just circled around one bridge—no Hagia Sophia or Blue Mosque. The shows were going well until the belly dance started; I’ve been to bachelor parties where the strippers are more tasteful than these—a real embarrassment—and the finale with the saxophonist was enough to deafen us since the volume was so loud it was impossible to stay inside. So, if you end up on the boat called “Amor,” cancel it.

Delicious food and a great atmosphere. However, there are almost nonstop performances (folk dances, oriental dances, traditional dances) with extremely loud music, even while we’re eating. The volume is so high that you can’t have a conversation, and eventually you end up with a headache. What a shame! It would make sense to scale back the program and stick to just a few individual performances instead. It was all very overwhelming and, in the end, didn’t do anyone any good.

The food was ok. But then the boat operator will take your pictures when you don't want to. After that they will print them and sell the pictures for 130 euro yes euro not lira. Which is a tourist trap since activity itself I paid 26 euro.
