Istanbul: Bosphorus Sightseeing Cruise Tour with Audio Guide｜Turkey

Discover one of Istanbul’s most beautiful sides on a relaxing 2-hour Bosphorus sightseeing cruise. Sail between Europe and Asia while enjoying open views of the city skyline, historic waterfront neighborhoods, elegant palaces, Ottoman mansions, mosques, fortresses, and the bridges connecting two continents.

The full route follows the European shore toward the Second Bosphorus Bridge before returning along the Asian side. This lets you experience both sides of Istanbul in a single journey and enjoy changing views throughout the cruise.

See celebrated landmarks such as Dolmabahce Palace, Ciragan Palace, Ortakoy Mosque, Rumeli Fortress, Anadolu Fortress, Beylerbeyi Palace, Kucuksu Pavilion, Uskudar, and the Maiden’s Tower. The Bosphorus offers a different perspective from every angle, with excellent opportunities for sightseeing, photography, and peaceful moments on the water.

Listen to informative commentary via the audio guide on your smartphone. Available in 11 languages, it helps you understand the history and character of the landmarks you pass. Free Wi-Fi is available on board to support access to the guide.

Relax with unlimited self-service Turkish tea and Nescafe during the cruise. You may also bring your own food and drinks on board. With comfortable indoor and outdoor areas, restroom facilities, and several departure options, this cruise is an easy and enjoyable experience for couples, families, friends, and solo travelers.

Choose a morning departure for a fresh start to your sightseeing, or select an afternoon or evening departure that fits easily into your Istanbul plans. Whichever option you choose, the same full Bosphorus route gives you two hours to admire Istanbul from its most scenic waterway.
