Magical New Year's on the Bosphorus

Ajay_R, Jan 2025
We had a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience celebrating New Year's Eve on board a Bosphorus cruise. The dinner show was excellent, featuring a whirling dervish performance, a belly dancer performance, and other traditional dances. The dinner served on board was pretty good, and we chose the wine option, and it was flowing. The staff were all attentive and generous with their service. At New Year's, we found a good vantage point of the fireworks over the city, and then we were able to dance to celebrate the New Year. Overall amazing experience, highly recommend for other travelers!

En primer lugar, el Transfer llego dentro del horario estimado. Recibimiento afectuoso de la tripulación. Muy bien ubicados, con mí esposo, en una mesa que permitía ver el espectáculo comodamente. Y el desplazamiento del crucero. Muy buena atención del personal.Menú exquisito y abundante. Igualmente la bebida. Siempre atentos a que no faltará nada en la mesa. Con respecto al espectáculo de primera. No imaginé que serían tantos los números. Siempre sonrientes los bailarines. DJ: pasó una música estupenda que invitaba salir a la pista. Bailamos hasta que se detuvo el crucero. Ahí nos estaba esperando puntual el Transfer que nos llevo al hotel. Justamente hoy, envié fotos a amigos y familia de Argentina, alabando la experiencia. Antes de contratar , desde mí país, estuve mirando infinidad de cruceros, optando por éste. Los comentarios eran excelentes. No me equivoqué en la eleccion. Muchas gracias!!!
