The Bosphorus Dinner Cruise Experience
From the moment your transfer reaches Karaköy Pier to the moment the ship ties up again at 23:30, here is how an evening on the BOSFOR unfolds.
How the Night Unfolds
From hotel pick-up to the moment the BOSFOR ties up again at Karaköy Pier — the evening in order.
Hotel pick-up
Your free hotel transfer collects you from your hotel, if it stands in one of the areas we cover, and brings you to Karaköy Pier. Send us your hotel when you book and we confirm the time with you.
Boarding opens
The BOSFOR is alongside at Karaköy Pier and ready from 20:00. Come aboard and settle in before the ship casts off.
Departure
At 20:30 the ship leaves the pier and heads out onto the Bosphorus, with Europe on one side and Asia on the other.
Dinner is served
Dinner arrives course by course while the ship is under way, starting with the Turkish starter plate and the main course you chose.
Turkish night show
The programme begins: 90 minutes and ten performances, from the whirling dervishes and the folk dances of Anatolia through to the drums, the oriental dance and the DJ set.
Back at the pier
The BOSFOR ties up again at Karaköy Pier at 23:30. Your free hotel transfer is included for the ride back.
What the ship passes
This is the route the operator publishes. Weather and traffic on the strait can change it on any given night — it is a route, not a promise about any one building.
