Great food, service and entertainment. Had a great time. The show and food kept us engaged and sightseeing views were epic. Overall a wonderful experience, my 20 years old son enjoyed thoroughly. The entertainers made us dance too .. created some great memories

The whole experience was great, a private table, good food, good entertainment, awesome service from Hasan, our server. My husband got sick motion (unfortunately) but Hasan gave him a pill and eventually he felt better. If you get sick motion I recommend taking something before, many people feeling sick. Otherwise a great experience!

    What a great and awesome evening that we have on this ship! Great performance (throughout the three hours cruise) excellent food served, friendly staffs and implacable service! The head waiter Ulas was amazing, he really took good care of us, filling up our water and ask us if we need anything else multiple times throughout the evening. Just wonderful all the way around. My wife and I truly enjoyed this program and we highly recommend everyone to come and enjoy.

    Orlaith_R, May 2026
    Nice food. I couldn’t see the stage though which was a pity. There was also a door open near where we were sitting that let in a cold breeze. People traipsing in and out all night to smoke.

    Really nice cruise, good performance good food, and good atmosphere The whole evening was very enjoyable

    kjok, May 2026
    Staff were lovely. There was a lot of food but it was bland and mostly cold. Even the hot food was only slightly warm. The entertainment was good if that's your thing. PS, we went VIP but other than being on a higher deck, I'm not sure what else you get (we did check out steerage and couldn't see much difference).

    Nice evening on Bosfor.

    Dmitriy_B, May 2026
    Very well organized although constant feeling of participating in a "tourist trap" experience. The dancing numbers were decent and the dinner and drinks were okay. Nice views of evening Istanbul - good for orientation and memorizing landmarks for visiting the next day.

    A very enjoyable evening

    Ginette_C, Apr 2026
    Food was plentiful and very good. Large variety of dishes to sample Turkish cuisine. Show was entertaining.

    Great food, bad VIP seating – save your money

    Hassaan_R, Apr 2026
    Food & atmosphere were great, but VIP table was a letdown . Everything was good – food was delicious and the venue atmosphere was lively. The only issue was the “VIP” table. They put us in a blind spot from the stage so we couldn’t see the show properly. For a VIP package, that’s unacceptable. Also skip the VIP package altogether. The window-side VIP tables are pointless – heavy glare on the glass means you can’t see outside, and it’s tucked in a corner. Just buy the standard ticket. You’ll save money and likely get a better view of the show.

    Best time that money can buy

    Bosphorus dinner cruise

    Karen_B, Apr 2026
    This is a large boat with great windows to view the lights especially in the VIP lounge. There are options you learn about the day of the tour. I took advantage of window table and VIP lounge and glad Idid. The food was ok, service was great and entertainment great! Very entertaining!

    Great tradional Turkish dinner cruise

    Bob_T, Apr 2026
    Fantastic experience for the price especially for the quality of the entertainment and food. I got seasickness medication from a waiter because it is unavailable without a prescription in Turkey.

    Good experience of viewing Turkish sites by night. Great entertainment and customer service. The food could have been better, needs flavor.

    Beautiful view and fantastic show

    Jennifer_G, Apr 2026
    The cruise was so much fun! We booked the VIP table and had a beautiful view seated right by the window. The food and service were certainly good. Definitely. More food than we could possibly eat! But what we enjoyed the most was the floor show! Honestly although the scenery is lovely with the city historic sites and bridges decorated in beautiful lights, we were so fascinating with the floor show folk dances that we forgot to look at the sights too much. This is a great tour. Definitely recommend the hotel pick up and drop off after the tour since it ends late at night and the boats dock in a place that would be tricky to get transportation that late at night.

    Great value

    John_G, Apr 2026
    Great experience, very good value, highly recommended. Fatih was very professional and attentive. We really enjoyed our time.

    Very convenient. Takes a worry out of arriving at your destination. We have used the service in a few countries and were very pleased with it.

    A fun time

    Michelle_C, Apr 2026
    A great experience. Good food. Wonderful views. Music was a little loud but fun overall. In a protected area so water was nice.

    Not good

    Vanessa_S, Apr 2026
    Food was not good. It was very crowded with lots of people. We could hardly see the outside views as we were sat in the middle. Only good thing was the service was very nice and helpful.

    Boshporous Cruise

    Yanique_W, Apr 2026
    It was entertaining and food was good. Would recommend it to anyone. The traditional dances was fun to watch.

    A Disappointment

    CONSTANCE_W, Apr 2026
    Entertainment was amateurish. Food was okay, just average. Unlimited soft drinks but no one was refilling them. Server was hard to find.
