Bosphorus dinner cruise with Turkish night show

A boat, not a theatre: three hours on the Bosphorus from Kabataş with dinner and a Turkish night show, from €29.90.

What the evening is

This is a boat trip. You board the Tosun Paşa at Kabataş ferry pier and spend three hours on the Bosphorus with a set dinner, live music and a floor show. The catalogue names belly dancing or a dagger dance. The operator, Boğazdayız, also lists a whirling dervish number, an oriental show and a DJ, with boarding from 19:30, departure at 20:30 and return at 23:30.

Dinner is a starter, a main course of beef, chicken or grilled fish, fruit and baklava. Soft drinks are unlimited on both rates, and the Cruise With Alcoholic Drinks rate adds two alcoholic drinks for guests over 18. An English-speaking guide is included. There are rates for children aged 5 to 8 and under 5, and no minimum age.

Who it suits

Couples and groups who want dinner, the view of the city from the water and some entertainment in a single booking.

The catch

Any dervish number here is one short act in a dinner show, and the Civitatis listing does not promise it. The score is 8.0 out of 10 across 1,652 reviews. Neither the catalogue nor the operator says how tables are allocated, and the boat is not wheelchair accessible.

Before you go

Go to the Boğazdayız pier at Kabataş Vapur İskelesi, Meclis-i Mebusan Caddesi, at least 15 minutes early and look for the boat named Tosun Paşa. A QR code arrives from 18:00 the day before and must be shown with the booking confirmation.
