Sail Through the History of Istanbul

This is more than a dinner cruise.

As you sail between Europe and Asia, Istanbul’s imperial palaces, waterfront mansions, mosques, fortresses and bridges unfold around you — monuments shaped by Byzantine emperors, Ottoman sultans and the modern Republic.

Discover the landmarks to watch for during your evening on the Bosphorus.

8 Landmarks2 ContinentsOne Evening on the Bosphorus

Built for Sultan Abdülmecid as a new imperial residence and administrative centre, Dolmabahçe Palace reflected the Ottoman Empire’s growing European architectural influence in the 19th century. It later became closely associated with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who spent his final days here.

Look for its monumental white waterfront façade — one of the grandest sights near the beginning of the cruise.

You are not simply cruising through Istanbul. You are sailing through centuries of its history.

Istanbul Comes Alive at Night

As the Bosphorus lights up around you, the stage comes alive with dance, music and traditions from across Türkiye. From the energy of the belly dancers to the hypnotic Whirling Dervish, every performance brings a different rhythm to your evening.

Dinner is only part of the night. The show continues around you as you sail between two continents.

01

Belly Dance

The signature energy of the night.

02

Whirling Dervish

A symbolic presentation inspired by the centuries-old Mevlevi Sufi tradition.

03

Henna Show

04

Caucasian Dance

Fast-paced choreography, powerful movement and dramatic rhythms.

05

Turkish Folk Dance

06

Gypsy Dance

Colourful, energetic and driven by infectious rhythms.

07

Belly Dancer Group

A lively ensemble performance that brings the stage to life.
