Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Bosphorus Strait, Istanbul 34122 Turkiye

"This beautiful strait, sometimes spelled Bosporus and sometimes Bosphorus, was so called from the earliest ages by the ancients; from the mythology of 10, the mistress of Jupiter, having passed over it in the shape of a cow. It resembles the Dardanelles, in length, breadth and current, and like it, is a narrow separation which divides Europe from Asia; but it has many features familiar to itself. Instead of being a solitary stream running between deserted shores, it is a body of water full of life and animation, winding its way through banks covered with palaces and villages, shaded with magnificent forest trees, presenting to the eye, at every mile, a new scene of crowded existence."

My girlfriend and I spent our 1 year anniversary here and this was a great way to see the different parts of Istanbul. They were very organized, picking us up and dropping us off at our hotel, and provided us with great snacks and drinks. We highly recommend!

The Cruise staff from hotel pick-up to deboarding were very polite and helpful. They served a wide variety of delicious snacks and desserts, water, fresh squeezed OJ, and hot tea, with alcoholic beverages for sale. The views were amazing and the guide provided insights on the history of the region. They even made dinner reservations for us! Highly recommend 👍
