This cruise was a real surprise for my husband and I. Not being the shuttle area, Bekir and Selim were able to arrange to pick us up on time. Again a big thank you for the organization. The meal is co (Read More)rrect and the staff is very welcoming. The clientele is international and multicultural. The show is entertaining and the entertainment just incredible. We all ended up on the dance floor!!! Recommended for the first night in Istanbul because we discover the Bosphorus at night in a beautiful atmosphere.

The live entertainment on the Bosphorus boat trip was fantastic, with a mix of traditional Turkish dancing, belly dancing, and even some Latin American performances. The night views of Istanbul from t (Read More)he Bosphorus were unbeatable! However, the experience was spoiled by the waitstaff, who frequently walked through the performances, often obstructing the dancers. At the same time, other servers were busy organising bill payments or trying to sell photos during the show, which blocked our view. Unfortunately, the food was also disappointing, with poorly presented and dry portions of meat and dessert. With more attention to detail, this could be a much better experience.
