Your adventure begins as we set sail from the Golden Horn, passing beneath the historic Galata Bridge, a symbolic gateway to the magnificent Bosphorus. As we cruise, our expert guides will provide fascinating commentary in English and Russian, sharing insights about the places you're seeing.

You'll glide along the European side, past iconic sights like the majestic Galata Tower, the opulent Dolmabahçe Palace, the grand Çırağan Palace, and the stunning Ortaköy Mosque with its impressive pillars. You'll also marvel at the suspended engineering of the Bosphorus Bridge.

Once we reach the Rumelian Fortress, we'll turn around for a charming return along the Asian coast. For those who wish, the cruise includes an optional 1-hour stop in the lovely Beylerbeyi area, where you can relax, explore the surroundings, and choose from meal options such as a breakfast plate with assorted cheeses, salami, eggs, honey, jam, butter, and olives, or a lunch menu including lentil soup, salad, rice, a meat dish, and dessert.

Afterward, we'll head back, enjoying views of the charming Maiden's Tower and beautiful seaside houses along the way. We'll drop you off conveniently back at either Eminönü or Karaköy piers, leaving you with unforgettable moments of Istanbul's history and serene views.
