What's served on board
On the morning cruise we serve snacks and savoury pastries, hot and soft drinks, and Turkish coffee with Turkish delight. Think of it as a morning on a yacht with refreshments, rather than a sit-down Turkish breakfast spread.
If you want a substantial breakfast, eat before your hotel pick-up. Outside food and drinks are not allowed on board. Tell us about allergies or other dietary needs in advance so the team can discuss your requirements before you confirm.
The morning route
The yacht follows the Bosphorus between Europe and Asia. The outing is about viewing the waterfront from the water, with reserved seats and refreshments during a 150-minute cruise. Ask the team about the arrangements for your date if a particular sight matters to you.
If you want a documented Golden Horn route and landmark commentary in English, Arabic, French or Russian, choose the Guided Bosphorus sightseeing cruise instead. It leaves Eminönü, rather than Kabataş.
Good for families with young children
The morning cruise suits families who want a daytime outing with reserved seats and a group of up to 20 guests. At 150 minutes, it leaves part of the afternoon for another activity or a rest back at your hotel.
Children aged 4–7 pay €35. Add them in the stated age band when you request a booking. For younger children or any access needs, tell the team before confirming so the arrangements can be discussed for your family.

Morning or sunset cruise?
Choose morning for a 10:30 start and daytime views. Choose the Bosphorus sunset cruise if you want the light to change during your outing. The sunset yacht also takes up to 20 guests and lasts 150 minutes, but costs €60 per adult and departs according to the season.
For an evening meal and show instead of refreshments, see the Bosphorus dinner cruise . Compare your preferred time of day as well as the fare.
