For romantics and fans of non-standard solutions, a cruise trip along the Bosporus (Boğaz turu), accompanied by a festive dinner, is perfect as an option for celebrating the New Year. An unusual voyage begins at 8 pm; at this time tourists are taken from the hotel and taken to a luxury yacht. And then the fun begins. A well-thought-out water route gives you the opportunity to fully enjoy the beauty of Istanbul’s nightlife, its ancient and modern attractions; ancient Ottoman palaces and luxurious villas built on the coast of the strait. Panorama of the city, without exaggeration, mind-blowing!
The cruise program is very extensive and is rich in surprises. It necessarily includes a cocktail party with live music in Turkish, a bright show program, which is attended by famous artists from Turkey and other countries, and, of course, a hearty festive table filled with dishes of Turkish and European cuisine.
The cruise lasts for 5 hours. Exactly at midnight over Istanbul, a magnificent salute will be thundered, which you can admire directly from the ship’s deck.
As a rule, yachts depart from the berths of Kabataş, Kuruchesme, and others.
The cost of the most modest private tour starts at 199 Turkish liras. At this cost, you can buy a ticket for a large ferry or a large yacht, which will have a standard show program, mainly aimed at local residents, and a New Year’s Eve dinner with snacks, hot and alcoholic beverages.
For example, New Year’s tours of the Bosphorus from 150 Dollars per person, include the following entertainment program; welcome cocktail, dance shows: oriental dances, folklore, etc., as well as DJ sets. The program also includes a stop to view the salute, which is perfectly visible from the sea.
The menu of the New Year’s Eve includes 15 types of snacks, seasonal salad, duck stuffed with rice, fruits and sweets, unlimited alcohol and champagne.
