Bosphorus Dinner Cruise with Turkish Night Show

Dinner on the water after dark, with the palaces floodlit and the bridges strung with light. A four-course Turkish menu and a live night show, at a shared table with other travellers — the whole evening on the illuminated Bosphorus.

The strait after dark

You board at the Karaköy pier as the city lights come on and head up past Dolmabahçe Palace glowing white at the water's edge, the Ortaköy mosque bright under the first bridge, and the long span of the Bosphorus Bridge shifting colour overhead. Ferries strung with lights cross the current, and the Asian shore answers back over the water while dinner is served on deck.

A full evening, not just a meal

The kitchen sends out a set four-course menu — cold meze to start, soup, a hot main with vegetarian and halal options, then baklava, fruit and Turkish tea — brought to the table as you sail, with unlimited soft drinks. Live musicians play through the meal, and a folk-dance troupe with a belly-dance finale has much of the deck on its feet by the end.

Good for

Couples and groups who want dinner and a lively show with the lit-up Bosphorus for a backdrop.
