Looking for a cruise ship, not a Bosphorus boat tour?
Explore cruises to & from Istanbul →
Find the best Bosphorus cruise packages in Istanbul, from a peaceful morning ride to a private evening yacht.
From a 150 min morning cruise to a 3 hours dinner with live show — scheduled cruises run daily, and the private yacht is arranged on request.
Plan your Bosphorus time around your own group: an afternoon on the water, a private sunset cruise or a celebration with friends. A private yacht in Istanbul gives you the boat for your party rather than seats on a shared tour.
€200 for the whole yacht · 2 hours · up to 10 guests
Scheduled cruises run daily and are priced per person. The private yacht is billed hourly, with the menu charged separately.
