How the New Year's Eve Cruise Unfolds
After hotel pickup, you'll board the boat and start the night with a welcome cocktail out on deck as Istanbul's skyline drifts by. The cruise sails the Bosphorus for the evening, passing the lit-up shoreline on both the European and Asian sides while the entertainment rolls on between dinner courses.
Live Turkish music opens the program, followed by a DJ mixing Turkish and international tracks for dancing. Stage acts include the traditional Asuk Masuk comic dwarf performance, belly dancing, Anatolian folk dance, and a Turkish Romany dance number during dinner. The meal runs from a Turkish cold appetizer plate and a seasonal salad to rice with turkey, then fruit and dessert, wrapped up with a cup of Turkish coffee. At the end of the night you're dropped back at your hotel.
