I surprised my girlfriend with this Turkish night show on a boat - I wanted to do something romantic and fun for her, and this was just perfect. The views of the Bosphorus and the city lights were just magical, the food was delicious (our favorite was baklava), and the Dervish dancing was such a good show. People around us were loving, live music was on, and we had lots of fun dancing. We both loved it!
Enjoyable evening on the Bosphorus night cruise. Even if there wasn’t any dinner or Turkish night show dancing, I’d still do the cruise just for the stunning views. We booked the transport to the yacht, and the car picked up and dropped us off bang on time. I appreciated that - made getting to the boat super easy.

SEE CAPTIVATING LIVE PERFORMANCES
Watching traditional Turkish dances is a must when visiting Istanbul, so this cruise includes them all! Relax and watch live entertainment like a belly dancing, the Greek Sirtaki, and, of course, the Turkish dervish dances. Also known as Sufi whirling, this dance is characterized by fast-paced twirling in voluminous flowing robes, making it a beautiful visual and musical experience.
HEAD HOME FULL OF MEMORIES
Travel home in comfort with our hotel drop-off, or return yourself in the cool of the evening, surrounded by Istanbul at night. Either way, unwind, relax, and reflect on all the fun you had.
Learn the facts about the Turkish dance before watching it!
- Halay is the most popular Turkish traditional dance. This Turkish national dance is simple, fun and attractive. It's easy to learn - go ahead if you want to join!
- The dancers (dervishes) performing the whirling dance show practice enormously to avoid dizziness that can occur during the dance. Did you know that whirling is a type of meditation practice they do to have a deeper spiritual experience? Dervishes usually whirl for about 10 - 15 minutes. It is considered that the most extended whirling performance lasted more than four hours!
- Watching a belly dance show is a great experience to see in its home region. Did you know that belly dancing originated in Turkey and Egypt? It is considered one of the oldest dances in the world! Turkish belly dancing is widely known for its energetic and playful vibes, and the best way to enjoy it is at a Turkish night show.
