A daily afternoon sailing, roughly 15:45 to 18:00, with a hot Turkish lunch served on board and live guided commentary as you go.
The Bosphorus separates Europe from Asia and runs about 30 km between the Black Sea and the Marmara. Seeing the city from the water is the quickest way to understand why it was built where it was.

About two and a quarter hours, daily. Booking ahead is required u2014 reserve from your account once your dates are set.
What you will see
Dolmabahu00e7e and u00c7u0131rau011fan Palaces, Ortaku00f6y Mosque beneath the first bridge, the wooden yalu0131 mansions on both shores, Rumeli Fortress, and Maiden's Tower. In daylight you get the detail of the waterfront that the evening dinner cruise trades for floodlighting.
