Experience Istanbul After Dark from the Water
A Bosphorus night cruise is one the best Bosphorus cruise options in Istanbul and offers a calm and elegant way to enjoy the city when the lights reflect on the water.

Private yachts allow you to enjoy the night without crowds, loud music, or fixed schedules.
Night cruises are ideal for guests who prefer a relaxed atmosphere and scenic views. Landmarks such as the Bosphorus Bridge and historic waterfront mansions appear even more impressive after dark.
Many guests choose a night cruise as an alternative to daytime sightseeing or as a continuation after a dinner cruise on the Bosphorus.

During a night cruise, yachts follow a scenic Bosphorus route along both European and Asian shores. The illuminated skyline, bridges, and palaces create a calm and refined setting that is perfect for couples and small groups.
Couples often prefer a quiet night cruise with soft lighting, background music, and uninterrupted views of the city
Small private groups can enjoy a relaxed celebration without the formality of a full dinner program. For guests seeking onboard dining, a private dinner cruise on the Bosphorus may be a suitable alternative.

Night cruises typically begin after sunset and continue into late evening hours. Start times vary by season, with flexible scheduling available based on your preference.

Private night cruises include professional crew service, comfortable seating areas, and refreshment options.
