Basic, Normal, Gold or VIP: which package is right for you?

Every package on our Bosphorus dinner cruise includes the same evening: boarding at Kabataş at 20:00, three hours on the water from 20:30 to 23:30, a full Turkish dinner with ten meze and a main course of your choice, unlimited soft drinks and the full Turkish Night show. Only two things change between packages: hotel transfer and alcohol.

The four packages side by side

Dinner, soft drinks and the Turkish Night show are included in all four packages.

Basic — €25: if you can reach Kabataş on your own

If your hotel is close to Kabataş, or you're happy to take the tram or a taxi, Basic gives you the full dinner and show at the lowest price. There's no transfer and no alcohol — just the evening itself.

Normal — €30: the easy choice for families

Our most booked package. For €5 more than Basic you get hotel pickup and drop-off, so you don't have to find the pier at night or get back to your hotel after 23:30. Pickup is between 19:00 and 20:15, depending on your area. No alcohol is served, which is why most families choose it.

Gold — €35: a drink with the view

Gold adds two alcoholic drinks per person to everything in Normal, on top of unlimited soft drinks. It suits couples and friends who'd like a drink with dinner without paying for an open bar.

VIP — €70: unlimited drinks all evening

VIP includes hotel transfer and unlimited alcoholic drinks for the whole evening. It's the one to choose for celebrations and groups who want to enjoy the night from the first toast to the last dance.

Children, babies and celebrations

Children aged 3–8 pay €5 less than the adult price of the package you choose, and babies under 3 are free. Celebrating something? You can add a birthday celebration or an anniversary / romantic table for €25 when you book.

The quick answer

• Staying near Kabataş and not drinking → Basic
• Travelling with children, or you don't drink → Normal
• A couple or friends who'd like a drink with dinner → Gold
• A celebration or a group night out → VIP

Whichever you choose, there's no prepayment — you pay on board in cash or by card. For the full programme of the night, read what to expect on a Bosphorus dinner cruise.
