Experience a magical Dinner Cruise that reveals the enchanting beauty and rich heritage of the Bosphorus. You'll encounter Ottoman love stories, brave warriors, a vibrant bridal henna ceremony, spirited Romani dancers, the whimsical duo Aşuk Maşuk, and a mesmerizing belly dancer whose grace mirrors the charm of the Bosphorus itself. This evening is a celebration of the cultures and civilizations that have thrived along the Bosphorus for centuries!
We will pick you up from your hotel between 19:15 and 19:45, depending on its location, and transfer you to our private boat. Your cruise begins with a warm welcome cocktail, followed by a scenic journey along the most stunning parts of the Bosphorus. During the cruise, you will admire views of both the European and Asian shores, iconic Ottoman palaces, charming modern waterfront mansions, and the illuminated Bosphorus Bridge, a true symbol of Istanbul.
As you sail, enjoy an array of live cultural performances showcasing the diverse traditional dances of Turkey. Highlights include Üsküdar'a Gideriken (a beloved folk song), the playful act of Aşuk Maşuk (performed by two male dancers portraying dwarfs), a stunning belly dance show, the colorful Henna Night ceremony (symbolizing pre-wedding traditions), and a lively folk dance ensemble featuring regional styles from across the country. The night concludes with the energetic rhythms of the Romani dance from Turkey’s Thrace region. After this unforgettable evening, we will return you to your hotel around midnight, leaving you with cherished memories.
