2–3 Hour Day Cruises with Asian Side Stop

This cruise leaves from the Golden Horn, passes beneath Galata Bridge and follows the Bosphorus past palaces, mosques and bridges before returning along the Asian coastline after Rumeli Fortress. Live English and Russian commentary accompanies the route, and onboard Wi-Fi is included.

Selected packages add roughly an hour in Beylerbeyi plus breakfast or lunch, which stretches the outing into a relaxed half-day. Indoor heated seating and open-air decks make it workable in changing weather, and the many daily departures suit both morning and evening plans.
