We booked this cruise for a double celebration—my husband’s birthday and a farewell dinner for our family—and it was the highlight of their visit. From booking to boarding, I must say the entire process was incredibly smooth. We were personally welcomed by Mr. Serdar Bey, who went above and beyond to arrange our tour without any hassle. His hospitality set the tone for the rest of the evening and checked on us every now and then to ensurewe are having a great time. And since we arrived a bit early, we had the chance to settle in. The crew and waiters (especially Isa) were exceptionally attentive and helpful from the moment we stepped on deck. I especially loved that we were served a lovely platter of appetizers to enjoy while waiting for the cruise to set sail. The cultural program was a beautiful touch. We were treated to various Turkish heritage dances, starting with the mesmerizing Whirling Dervish. The food were all delicious and well-paced, with a full main course followed by traditional desserts. To cap off the night, the DJ played a fantastic mix of Western and Turkish music. We had a great time on the dance floor! It was a spectacular way to bid our family farewell and a truly memorable way to celebrate my husband's special day. I am so glad we chose this company, The Bosphorus Cruise, for such an important evening. Truly a magical finale. Highly recommended!

Nothing to improve on perfection !! Maybe the costs...If it could be 50$ per person as it was 10 years ago, it really would be amazing !

The beach on the Black Sea was disappointing. It was very dirty and very crowded.
