The experience was pretty nice. Dance performances topped it all. But the waiters were a bit rude. Also, the drinks being unlimited, I felt like being taken too much time, so that they can serve less. But other than these, all were okay!

The food was quite average. I ordered a fish main, but it didn’t come with any sides. On the positive side, the hospitality was excellent, and our waiter was very helpful. However, the main issue was the seating. We were seated four rows from the stage, and we couldn’t see much of the show. Unless you’re seated in the first two rows, you’ll struggle to see anything and will have to rely on the TVs.

The experience was so amazing, it was a nice immersion to the turkish lifestyle during the different ceremonies & waiters were so friendly. That would be great if the dessert menu could be improved with a reasonable album photos prices ;)

Your Experience

Get picked up from your hotel or arrive at the port. Hop on the cruise boat and be seated at your VIP private table, situated at a prime spot close to the stage, as you admire the stunning panoramic views of the Bosphorus Strait that separates Europe and Asia. See Istanbul's iconic landmarks, including Dolmabahce Palace which served as the main administrative center of the Ottoman Empire from 1856 to 1887 and from 1909 to 1922. Others include Beylerbeyi Palace, Bosphorus Bridge, Rumeli Fortress, and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, the 5th-longest suspension bridge span in the world. Illuminated at night, the sight of these monuments from the Strait is breathtaking.

Enjoy Traditional Onboard Entertainment

Watch talented performers dance and perform traditional music from different regions of Turkey. The entertainment consists of a Katibim show (a traditional Turkish musical performance), an Asuk Masuk (an imitation play of dwarfs from the Taseli district of Silifke performed by two male dancers), a mixed folk dance, belly dancers, Caucasian folk dance and live DJ performance.

Next, it's time for a four-course Turkish-inspired meal. Indulge in mouth-watering dishes, such as tender lamb shank, succulent grilled chicken, and savory stuffed vegetables. You can wash it down with unlimited drinks (based on the option selected) from the onboard bar. The lively atmosphere onboard is contagious, and you cannot help but tap your feet into the DJ's music. After cruising for about 3 hours, the ship returns to port.
