Experience an evening that can’t be compared to anything else. Refresh your senses and your perspective amidst the romantic ambience on one of Bosphorus Voyage's dinner cruises. Enriched with breathtaking views, a variety of delicious cuisine and mesmerizing performances that reflect the vibrant and diverse culture of Istanbul, these cruises never fail to amaze me, hence taking a top spot in my list of most beloved experiences in Istanbul.
A Spectacular Istanbul Night Awaits You
The night begins without haste, ensuring you savor every moment from start to end. A shuttle arrives at our hotel at 7:30 PM to take us on a delightful journey through the ancient and charming streets of Istanbul, setting the right mood for an exciting night. Arriving at the ship, we are enthusiastically welcomed aboard. Istanbul’s iconic landmarks - Dolmabahçe Palace, Çırağan Palace and the Ortakoy Mosque - gleam under the city’s night sky, presenting a spectacle that is simply breathtaking and priming us for the unforgettable evening ahead.
Marvelous Entertainment with A Culinary Feast
As we settle down at our tables, four unlimited courses of traditional Turkish cuisine are served, each dish a masterpiece of flavours and aesthetics. As our palates explore these alluring flavors, the cultural performances begin to captivate attention. The evening kicks off with the lively Dance of the Tambourine, an endeavor that gets everyone tapping along.
Next is the mesmerizing Aşuk and Maşuk performance, a traditional play that portrays the events of rural life, followed by a vibrant dance performance by a belly dancer. Dancing gracefully and energetically, her performance leaves everyone onboard mesmerized and is truly the ultimate epitome of cultural demonstrations during the cruise.
Yet the entertainment is far from over as the cruise continues to feature the Naz Eyleme dance, a fantastic display of Turkish culture and music. A tradition not usually witnessed by many - the Henna Marriage Ceremony - is also enacted, spreading cheer and joy. As we moved towards the end of the performances, the Turna Folk Team, a group of energetic and passionate dancers, perform the captivating Turkish Romany Dance, filling the night with more exuberance and joy.
A Night To Remember: The Grand Finale
This night of sensory indulgence ends with a live DJ performance. As the DJ spins track after track, each beat carries us deeper into the night. Dancing to the alluring rhythm on a ship in the middle of dreamy Bosphorus is by far one of the most unforgettable experiences you can have.
The cruise drawing to a close around midnight leaves us with the idyllic image of the Istanbul skyline etched into memory. The journey back to the hotel tends to be quiet and contemplative, as everyone onboard processes the delights of the night spent amidst Istanbul's beauty. Trust my suggestion, and consider a Bosphorus Voyage’s dinner cruise as an ideal choice for a truly enchanting night out in Istanbul.
