Pickup support FAQs
Which hotels does the dinner cruise pick up from?▼
Our vehicle collects from hotels in Fındıkzade, Topkapı, Aksaray, Laleli, Beyazıt, Sultanahmet, Sirkeci, Tepebaşı, Şişhane, Taksim, Talimhane, Maçka, Şişli, Nişantaşı and Beşiktaş. Hotels outside these districts are not on the pickup route; guests there can come straight to Kabatas Pier.
Is hotel pickup included in the price?▼
Yes. Hotel pickup and drop-off from the districts above is included in both packages (non-alcoholic EUR 30, alcoholic EUR 35 per person), between 19:00 and 20:00.
What time does the boat leave?▼
The cruise leaves from Kabatas Pier: boarding 19:45, departure 20:45, back around 23:30; it lasts about 2 hours 45 minutes. Hotel pickup runs between 19:00 and 20:00; the exact pickup time at your hotel is confirmed after booking, once your hotel and the evening's pickup list are known.
Can I be picked up from a hotel on the Asian side?▼
No. Pickup is limited to the European-side districts listed on this page. Guests on the Asian side get themselves to Kabatas Pier, and should plan their own ride back, because the boat returns too late for regular public transport.
What if the street outside my hotel is too narrow for the vehicle?▼
The driver meets you at a nearby point where the vehicle can stop. We confirm the meeting point after booking.
Will we be cold on the dinner cruise in winter?▼
No. In winter the boat has a closed, heated salon, so guests do not get cold.
How many guests fit in one booking, and what do children pay?▼
One booking holds up to 50 guests. Children aged 3 to 7 pay half of the per-person rate; ages 8 and over pay the full adult rate.
