The Bosphorus Sunset Cruise is a 2-hour guided experience aboard a luxury yacht along the Bosphorus. Accompanied by a professional guide, you will discover the history and stories of Istanbul’s iconic landmarks on both the European and Asian sides of the city. With a bit of luck, you may even spot dolphins along the way. This relaxing sunset yacht cruise offers a magical atmosphere as you enjoy traditional refreshments and light canapés while sailing past some of Istanbul’s most famous sights, including Dolmabahçe Palace, Ortaköy Mosque, Maiden’s Tower, the Bosphorus Bridge, Rumeli Fortress, and more. As night begins to fall, the illuminated skyline transforms the Bosphorus into an open-air museum, creating a memorable and atmospheric end to your cruise.
