## Bosphorus Dinner Cruise with the Turkish Night Show

Istanbul after dark is a different city, and the best seat for it is on the water. This is the classic Bosphorus dinner cruise: you are collected from your hotel, you sit down to a Turkish dinner as the boat sails up the European shore, and once the plates are cleared the stage takes over — whirling dervishes, folk dancers, a belly-dance show and a DJ to finish. Dolmabahçe Palace, the lit bridges and the Maiden’s Tower pass by the windows while you eat.

It is sold per person and run by our sister brand Bosphorus Sunset, so it is a different evening from our private charters: bigger, louder and far cheaper per head. If you want a yacht to yourselves, the links above take you there. If you want dinner, a show and transport handled in one booking, this is the page.

## Four packages, one evening

Everyone sails on the same boat, on the same schedule, with the same show. The packages differ in where you sit, how wide the menu is and what is behind the bar.

## The evening, hour by hour

- **About 90 minutes before departure** — pick-up from your hotel on the European side; the exact time is in your confirmation.
- **20:00–20:30** — boarding, welcome cocktail, tables.
- **Dinner** — served as the boat sails up the European shore, past Dolmabahçe Palace and under the first bridge, with the Maiden’s Tower, Beylerbeyi Palace and Rumeli Fortress lit along the way.
- **After dinner** — the Turkish Night show in sets: the whirling dervish ceremony, Turkish folk dances, a Romani dance, a Caucasian dance, a belly-dance group and a solo dancer, the Aşık Maşuk comedy number and a rhythm show, with guests invited up to dance.
- **Towards midnight** — the DJ takes over for the last stretch, then the boat is back at the pier and the coaches run you back to your hotel.

### What is included

- Hotel pick-up and drop-off from central hotels on the European side, by air-conditioned coach
- Dinner: welcome cocktail, mezes, salad, a main course of your choice, dessert
- Drinks according to your package: unlimited soft drinks and tea in every package; local alcohol or an unlimited open bar in the upgraded ones
- The live Turkish Night show and a professional DJ
- A free audio guide in 12 languages, so you can follow the shoreline in your own language

### What is not included

- Imported and premium drinks, except in the Gold Open Bar package — available to buy on board
- Personal expenses and tips
- Pick-up from the Asian side or from private apartments (see the questions below)

### The boat, honestly

This is a large three-deck cruise boat, not a yacht, and we would rather say so here than have you find out at the pier. The lower deck is an indoor dining hall with a stage in the middle; the upper deck is open for the skyline. That size is what makes a full dinner, a live show and a €30 price possible. Expect a lively room shared with other guests, not a quiet table for two.

Our own vessels are a different product. On the [private dinner yacht](https://constantineyachts.com/private-bosphorus-dinner-cruise/) you have your own table, your own menu and nobody else aboard; the [Bosphorus night cruise](https://constantineyachts.com/tour/bosphorus-night-cruise/) is the same idea without the dinner.

### How this differs from the sunset group tour

Our [sunset group tour](https://constantineyachts.com/tour/bosphorus-sunset-group-tour/) is the other per-person option: two hours at golden hour from Karaköy, on a small shared yacht, from €26 in winter and €34 in summer, with tea, snacks and a live guide but no dinner and no show. Pick the sunset tour for the view and the photographs; pick the dinner cruise for a whole evening out with a meal, entertainment and transport taken care of.

### Pick-up and meeting point

Pick-up is included from hotels in Sultanahmet, Sirkeci, Eminönü, Beyazıt, Laleli, Aksaray, Yenikapı, Karaköy, Galata, Beyoğlu, Taksim, Harbiye, Şişli and Nişantaşı. There is no pick-up from the Asian side; guests staying there come to the boarding point themselves and we recommend a taxi for the return, since the tour ends around midnight. Guests in an apartment or Airbnb are given a nearby hotel as their pick-up point. If you prefer to make your own way, the boarding point and time are in your confirmation. [Getting around Karaköy and the waterfront](https://constantineyachts.com/getting-to-karakoy/) explains the tram and ferry connections.

### Dress code and weather

Smart casual. The dining hall is indoors, so the cruise sails in light rain; only a serious storm moves a departure, and in that case you choose another evening or a full refund. Bring a layer for the open deck between courses.

One thing worth knowing

The two Silver packages and the two Gold packages are the same evening at a different table. Silver puts you at a standard table with the set menu; Gold puts you at a reserved table by the stage with a wider menu. Within each, the only question is drinks: soft drinks only, two glasses of local alcohol at Silver, or the full open bar at Gold. Couples and families usually take Silver; groups who want the night to run on usually take Gold Open Bar.

**Book here, not on a platform.** This is the same departure resold on the big booking sites — same boat, same show, same pick-up. What they add is their own commission. Book on this page and you are buying from the operator: AST Turizm, [TÜRSAB licence no. A-805](https://constantineyachts.com/tursab-verification/), on the Bosphorus since 1967. The cruise is run by our sister brand Bosphorus Sunset, and if something changes you message a person rather than a support queue.

**Booking and cancellation.** Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure; bookings close four hours before sailing. If the captain cancels a departure for safety, you choose: another evening or a full refund. On 31 December the dinner cruise is replaced by the New Year’s Eve party cruise, which has its own page and terms.

“My wife and I had a memorable experience aboard the boat. Very enterprising guide educated us about the history and culture of the city, good wine and/or Turkish tea and snacks. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunset and some good people to share conversation. Highly recommend!”

— Prajwal Prasad · Google review, December 2025

“The sunset tour was a great experience! The hosts provided good context to the history of Istanbul. They were very friendly, offered to take different pictures for all families. They provided light snacks (i.e., roasted peanuts, biscuits and cherries) and beverages. Overall, it was awesome! Would definitely recommend”

— Khafia Iftikhar · Google review, July 2026

“Had a wonderful time with Constantine Yachts for a Sunset Cruise. Ceylin was so knowledgeable and spoke amazing English, which made us feel right at home. She explained plenty of the monuments and historical buildings and sites along the way. They included drinks and snacks as well! 5 stars!”

## Frequently Asked Questions About the Bosphorus Dinner Cruise

### How much is the Bosphorus dinner cruise?

From €30 per person for the Silver package with soft drinks, which already includes the dinner, the show and the hotel transfer. Silver with two glasses of local alcohol is €45; Gold, with a reserved table by the stage and a wider menu, is €80 with soft drinks or €90 with an unlimited local and imported open bar. The price is the same for every guest regardless of age; there is no separate child fare.

### What time does it start and how long does it last?

Boarding is between 20:00 and 20:30, the cruise lasts about three and a half hours, and the boat is back at the pier around midnight. Hotel pick-up starts about 90 minutes before departure; your exact time is in the confirmation.

### Is dinner a buffet?

No, it is served at your table: a welcome cocktail, cold mezes, salad, a main course you choose from the menu, then baklava and fruit. Vegetarian and gluten-free meals are prepared if you tell us when booking.

### Are drinks included?

Soft drinks and tea are unlimited in every package. Silver Local Drinks adds two glasses of local wine, beer, gin, vodka or rakı; Gold Open Bar makes local and imported alcohol unlimited. Outside those, alcoholic drinks are sold on board.

### Is the hotel transfer really included?

Yes, both ways, from central hotels on the European side, by air-conditioned coach. There is no pick-up from the Asian side or from private apartments; apartment guests are given a nearby hotel as their meeting point.

### Is this a yacht?

No. It is a large three-deck cruise boat with an indoor dining hall and a stage, shared with other guests; the size is what makes the show and the price possible. Our yachts are a separate product: on the [private dinner yacht](https://constantineyachts.com/private-bosphorus-dinner-cruise/) your group has the vessel to itself.

### What is in the show?

A whirling dervish ceremony, Turkish folk dances, a Romani dance, a Caucasian dance, a belly-dance group and a solo dancer, the Aşık Maşuk comedy number and a rhythm show, followed by a DJ. The programme runs in sets after dinner and guests are invited up to dance.

### Can children come?

Yes. Every guest pays the same per-person price regardless of age; add the children to the booking as you would an adult. Keep in mind it is a late evening with a loud show: most families with small children prefer the [sunset group tour](https://constantineyachts.com/tour/bosphorus-sunset-group-tour/), which ends before dark in summer.

### Is the boat wheelchair accessible?

No, the boarding ramp and stairs between decks make it unsuitable for wheelchair users, and the operator does not recommend it for pregnant guests or anyone with a heart or back condition. If that rules it out, write to us: a private yacht with step-free boarding can usually be arranged.

### Can I cancel?

Yes, free of charge up to 24 hours before departure. Within 24 hours the ticket is non-refundable. Bookings close four hours before sailing.

### Where does the boat leave from?

From the pier on the European shore used by the operator; the exact boarding point and time are in your confirmation, and almost all guests arrive by the included coach from their hotel.

### Who operates the cruise?

Bosphorus Sunset, our sister brand within AST Turizm — the same company behind Constantine Yachts, TÜRSAB licence no. A-805, on the Bosphorus since 1967. You are buying from the operator, not a reseller.
