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.

very good experience. The service since the pick up, during the tour and afterwards was impressive.
The food was great, all the dances are beautiful. The service was good.
Farah_H, Jul 2026
Overall this experience was great! The staff was attentive and friendly!, and service was fast. They didn’t advertise the activities properly and we didn’t know that dinner was included with the ticket. The entertainment was great and the top deck had a great view.

The cruise, boat, and service were very nice. I felt the food was a bit blah. We did include the alcohol and would not recommend it as the alcohol was just house brand and not that good. Istanbul is a beautiful city and the views from the boat were great, however it would have been nice to have some commentary about what we were passing by. If it had not been for our two tours on the days before we would not have known anything about the sites we were passing by. And I wish we would have taken off at the stated time as I think the sunset would have been beautiful see. Overall, it was a nice and relaxing evening, but feel it could be much better with just a few little tweaks.
Ejaz_C, Jul 2026
It was a wonderful experience. This was the best activity in the Istanbul trip. I highly recommend it. The staff was very friendly and it’s amazing ride. I will do it again whenever I will visit Istanbul.
Salwa_H, Jul 2026
Amazing boat tour! The Bosphorus views were absolutely stunning, and the whole experience was relaxing and enjoyable. The staff were friendly and well organized. It was a perfect way to see Istanbul from the water and take beautiful photos. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul!
There were music food drinks , Also I want to thank all the staff specially Barish he helped us and he is very polite.
Liz_W, Jul 2026
This was a really fun evening! As mentioned in other reviews I get a ton of food and entertainment. The views were beautiful. I would definitely suggest paying extra for the pick up and drop off at your hotel as it is chaotic when leaving.
Jena_B, Jul 2026

Charlotte_B, Jul 2026

Nadine_R, Jul 2026
An all round experience from traditional performances, food, and views! Accommodating staff as well and easy communication with all staff, from transport, tour operator and servers.
Saeid_B, Jul 2026
Very friendly staff particularly our server, Yavuz, versatile shows (live music, and various dances), good views of the city.
Joseph_D, Jul 2026
Excellent experience the bosphorus and entertainment was fabulous. Seeing the shoreline while cruising was a great way to see the city. Highly recommend!
Linda_B, Jul 2026
It was good to have a pick up and drop off to hotel as when we disembarked it was chaos with other boats ending their trip and also some event at the nearby stadium ending. Trip itself was very good, we booked a table for two with meal and alcohol. Lots of food, meze laid out then a choice of chicken or fish followed by a fruit and cheese platter. Traditional show was good too.
Lisa_P, Jul 2026
It was a fabulous experience. An abundance of food, drinks and entertainment. Great service. Best value for money tour I have ever had
SushilKumar_S, Jun 2026
Excellent ship, excellent staff taking care of you and great performances to entertain. The weather was great to make the experience wonderful.
John_M, Jun 2026
Good food, entertainment. We had the drinks option and it was well worth it.
Much better value than any other restaurant we tried in Sultanahmet.
Katelyn_H, Jun 2026
The scenery as the boat traveled the channel was beautiful! We were able to go out on the bow and take pictures. There were multiple different kinds of entertainment throughout the evening which we enjoyed.
reneevonbehren, Jun 2026
The food was good. We went with the two drink option which was a great choice. The entertainment consisted of a whirling dervish, a dance group, and a belly dancer. It would have been nice to know what regions the dances were from. Adem was our waiter and did an excellent job serving us.
The scenery was very beautiful with everything illuminated at night.
Gabriel_J, Jun 2026
Great food in abundance! Great views of the coastline, good service. I would definitely recommend again
Prabu_M, Jun 2026
It’s well organised starting from pick up to drop at hotel. Diner has been arranged very well. Continuous program till end of trip.
Highly recommended
Thom_T, Jun 2026
A fun evening with good food, excellent service and wide variety of entertainment. My favorite was the belly dancer wh really got into it with the audience. It was nice to see the sites on both sides of the river at night.
kemal_m, Jun 2026
Had a wonderful time. Dinner was good. Waiter was polite and attentive. Entertainment was top class.
Christine_S, Jun 2026
The night views on the river were beautiful, the food was good (wait staff was excellent), the entertainment was fun with a lot of variety in the dancing - they performed many times and there were live musicians as well. The only mild complaint was that since the dancers were in the middle and not on an elevated stage it was hard to get a good view of the performance. Overall a very enjoyable experience and a great evening.
Steven_S, Jun 2026
You get MORE than you paid for. They do a first class job. Drinks are great - food is great and plentiful. In this case, VIP would not have been necessary and don't pay for the better seating. It's all good and you can move around anyway so save your money.
Blake_S, Jun 2026
Boarding was easy and hotel pickup was convenient. The cruise was packed with entertainment and the staff were friendly and inviting. The trip was very long. I believe the cruise line could cut it down to 2.5 hours and still demand the asking price. Perhaps with the saved overhead expenses they could increase the quality of food and wine. Just an idea. Overall great entertainment to value ratio.
Phil_M, Jun 2026
If requesting a transfer from your hotel you won't get information reference pick up times etc until the morning of the dinner cruise.
All the literature gave a start time of 8:30pm and an approx duration of 3 hours. The boat actually left the dock at 9pm and returned at 11.15pm i.e. 2 hours 15 minutes, which is nowhere near 3 hours.
The entertainment was advertised as including a Flamenco dancer and a DJ, neither of which appeared.
While I appreciate it is difficult to cook for large numbers, the food was very bland.
I requested a window table for 2 which cost me an extra €25, on top of what had already been paid.
On the plus side the staff were very efficient, pleasant and helpful.
Overall, we were extremely disappointed
Melanie_D, Jun 2026
Great for giving people an authentic side of Turkey & for showing Istanbul from another angle. Food was tasty & the drinks package very good value! The waiters were excellent & the entertainment varied & interesting! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Paul_B, Jun 2026
The show was great and the staff were attentive and helpful very good night out.
Food was okay but could have been warmer.
FARRAH_F, Jun 2026
We had a fantastic night cruise in early June 2026 including dinner, soft drinks, and show. We got to the boat on our own via tram that stopped 1 min walking from the boat station.
Dinner was very good and included a 5-piece appetizers, we had fish for dinner, then dessert and unlimited soft drinks, tea and coffee.
They were super organized for the check in process and tables were set up beautifully with appetizers upon our arrival.
Performances were great and engaging and we had the chance to dance at the end of the program.
The view of Istanbul from the cruise was great.
We totally enjoyed our time aboard this boat and highly recommend it. Our coat was $30 per person.
