Relax under the stars with a leisurely dinner cruise on the Bosphorus Strait. Anchored between Europe and Asia, the strait offers the best of both continents with views of lavish palaces, old mansions, and modern villas. Enjoy refreshments as the motorboat glides along the European side with views of Dolmabahce Palace, formerly an opulent 19th-century Rococo palace, and now a museum. Then, when the boat turns around at Sariyer fishing village, the captain will steer a course back along the Asian side, where you'll see the majestic 19th century Beylerbeyi Palace, a well-appointed summer residence for the sultans. Take in the splendid sights and celebrate this wonderful evening with a five-course meal that includes hot and cold appetizers, salad, a main course and dessert. Back at the pier, a waiting motorcoach will return you to the ship.
