The organization was disappointing our group had no proper seating, forcing other guests to move while they were still eating. The food was decent but not memorable. The dancers were impressive, though the long, crowded tables made it hard to see them properly. The breathtaking view of the Bosphorus at night was the highlight and almost made up for the issues. I wouldn’t recommend this specific tour, but I’d still suggest seeing the Bosphorus by night in a better organized setting

This cruise offers a decent experience, though it falls short of being exceptional. The seating arrangements are quite cramped, with guests packed tightly together at shared tables. The food is passable, but nothing special. The real standout is the breathtaking view of the Bosphorus. You’re better off leaving your seat to take in the scenery rather than focusing too much on the meal. If I were to do it again, I might consider skipping the dining portion altogether and just enjoying the sights.

Nice enough evening but felt quite touristy. Food was average hotel buffet quality. Best part was definitely the views especially seeing Ortaköy Mosque from the water at night.

Entertainment was great but the boat was overcrowded. We had to rush for food refills and seats by the windows. Drinks were pricey but the Turkish coffee was excellent.

Expected more romantic atmosphere tables were very close together. The fish dishes were fresh but meat options were dry. Stunning views made up for other shortcomings though.

Decent experience but not exceptional. Some staff spoke limited English which made ordering drinks difficult. The live music and night views were the highlights for me.

Comfortable experience with helpful staff who accommodated our baby stroller. Food options were diverse but could use more spice for South Asian tastes. The illuminated bridges were absolutely magical.

We celebrated our anniversary on this cruise and it was magical. The staff surprised us with a special dessert, and watching the sunset behind the Hagia Sophia while enjoying fresh mezze was unforgettable. The belly dancer even got my husband to join in!

Six of us lads on a stag weekend what a brilliant night! The unlimited drinks package was worth it, the live music kept the party going, and seeing Istanbul's skyline from the water was breathtaking. Staff were good sports about our terrible dance attempts.

As my first time in Istanbul, this cruise helped me understand Turkish culture beautifully. The folk dancers' colorful costumes were stunning, and a kind waiter explained each dish to me. The view of the Maiden's Tower at night looked straight from a fairy tale.

Took our parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. The crew sang for them, and the traditional music brought tears to my father's eyes. Our kids loved the dessert station. Seeing Topkapi Palace from the water gave us new appreciation for our city.

After visiting Istanbul five times, this was our best experience yet. The seafood was incredibly fresh, the jazz band during dinner was classy, and the timing was perfect to see all landmarks illuminated. Felt luxurious without being pretentious.

This cruise made our honeymoon unforgettable. The moment we saw Hagia Sophia glowing across the water, we knew it was special. The seafood mezze was incredibly fresh, and the staff surprised us with a complimentary dessert. The belly dancer had everyone clapping along - even my shy husband joined in!

We brought our three kids and everyone had a blast. The children loved the folk dancers' colorful costumes, while we parents appreciated the well stocked buffet (especially the grilled kebabs). Seeing the Bosphorus Bridge light up as we passed underneath was the highlight for all of us.

Great evening with colleagues. The unlimited drinks package was good value, and the entertainment kept everyone engaged. The boat got quite crowded later in the evening, making it hard to move around. But seeing Topkapi Palace illuminated made up for any minor inconveniences.

The perfect way to see Istanbul's highlights in one evening. The photographer on board took great shots of me with the bridges. Food was good (try the stuffed eggplant!), though some dishes cooled quickly. Met lovely people at my shared table.

We've lived in Istanbul for years but seeing our city from the water at night gave us new appreciation. Our foreign guests were mesmerized by the Maiden's Tower views. The musicians played classic Turkish songs that had everyone singing along. A perfect introduction to our culture.
