Your own table, set against the lights of the Bosphorus
A dinner cruise is the most elegant way to make an evening in Istanbul unforgettable. We set off as the sun goes down, your menu is served as you glide along the Bosphorus, and by dessert the bridges are glittering. No crowded restaurant, no waiting for service, no shared tables.
In summer you dine al fresco on deck; in winter, in our heated salon with its large windows, without ever losing the view. We arrange the table layout to suit your group: a romantic table for two, a family dinner or a seated reception for 57.
Dinner menus
The dinner menu is €48 per person: 5 traditional Turkish mezes, a meat, chicken or fish main course and soft drinks. Vegetarian and children's menus are available on request, and a private chef on board can be arranged for €240.

Your booking is confirmed once a 30% deposit of the total price is paid. The balance is paid before the cruise begins, in cash, by credit card or by bank transfer. If you cancel more than 7 days before departure, the deposit is fully refunded.
