Depart from either Kabataş Pier on Istanbul's European side or Üsküdar Pier on the Asian side and cruise the Bosphorus Strait for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Sailing the waterway between Europe and Asia, you can see Istanbul's iconic landmarks such as Dolmabahçe Palace, Rumeli Fortress, Beylerbeyi Palace and the Maiden's Tower from the water. During the cruise, English commentary covers the sights you pass, and you can also use an audio guide available in several languages.
Choose your departure pier when booking. Kabataş Pier on the European side is close to Taksim, Karaköy and Beyoğlu, while Üsküdar Pier is on the Asian side of the city. At both piers, the cruise starts from the Dentur Avrasya kiosk.
The boat sails along the Bosphorus past Dolmabahçe Palace, Çırağan Palace and the waterfront neighborhood of Ortaköy. You will see sights on both the European and Asian shores in turn, including Rumeli Fortress and Anadolu Hisarı opposite it, the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, Beylerbeyi Palace, Küçüksu Pavilion and the Maiden's Tower. Landmarks such as Galata Tower and the Bosphorus Bridge can also be enjoyed from the boat.
Throughout the approximately 1.5-hour cruise, English commentary describes the sights you pass, including the history of landmarks such as Rumeli Fortress. To use the audio guide, follow the download instructions sent to your WhatsApp number or email before departure.
