Bosphorus Cruise Tours we recommend
Take a sunset cruise
The Bosphorus Sunset Cruise is ideal if you want to unwind after a day of sightseeing, but it’s also one of the most beautiful ways to see the city. Enjoy the peaceful, romantic atmosphere as the sky changes colors, the city lights come on, and stunning views unfold all around you.
Explore more for less
If you want to see as much of Istanbul as possible in one day, the Bosphorus Cruise and Dolmabahçe Palace Ticket is a great choice. With this combo option, you will skip the line to explore the grand Dolmabahçe Palace, then enjoy a scenic Bosphorus cruise with views of top landmarks like the Galata Tower and Bosphorus Bridge.
Combine good food and spectacular views
If you’re looking for more than just sailing, why not combine a scenic cruise, local flavors, and live entertainment – all in one unforgettable night? The Bosphorus Dinner Cruise is the perfect choice. Sail along the Bosphorus as the city lights up, enjoy a delicious traditional Turkish dinner, and watch traditional live shows on board. Great views, great atmosphere, and a night to remember! It is truly one of the most essential things to do in Istanbul at night for any traveler.
