What the evening actually looks like
Real moments from the Bosphorus dinner cruise — the boat, the table, and the Turkish Night show on board.
A 3-hour Bosphorus night cruise with a full Turkish dinner and a live Turkish Night show on board — whirling dervish, folk dance, belly dance and DJ, sailing under both bridges.
Ask any local where to see a real Turkish Night show in Istanbul, and the answer is almost always the same: on the water. Our Bosphorus dinner cruise — known to guests simply as a Bosphorus night cruise — sails from Kabataş every evening at 20:30 for three hours along the strait, with a full Turkish dinner cruise menu served as the city's two bridges light up overhead. It's the same evening regulars call a Bosphorus dinner cruise and first-timers call a Turkish night out — ten kinds of meze, a main course of your choice, and a live show that moves from whirling dervish to belly dance to DJ, all before you're back on the pier at 23:30.
