Istanbul Bosphorus Sunset Cruise on a Luxury Yacht (Optional Hotel Pickup)

Board the yacht at Kabataş Pier
and set off on the Bosphorus

Board a 25-meter yacht at Kabataş Pier and cruise the Bosphorus for about 2 hours 30 minutes, taking in both the European and Asian sides of Istanbul. If you choose the hotel transfer option, you will be picked up from your hotel and taken to the pier. On board, your guide explains the city's history in English or Spanish.

Admire palaces, fortresses and waterfront villages from the water

Pass Dolmabahçe Mosque, Dolmabahçe Palace, Çırağan Palace and Ortaköy, then sail under the Bosphorus Bridge. Continue up past Arnavutköy, Bebek, Rumeli Fortress and toward the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, then come back down along the Asian shore past Anadolu Fortress, Küçüksu Palace, Beylerbeyi Palace and Üsküdar. Finally, return while viewing the Maiden's Tower, the Golden Horn, Galata Bridge and Galataport.

Watch the sunset with snacks and drinks

On board, enjoy light snacks such as cookies, baklava and a seasonal fruit platter, along with tea, coffee and water. Homemade lemonade is served in summer and fruit juice in winter. Watch the sky turn orange and pink as the sun sets, and return to the harbor as the call to prayer echoes from the minarets.
