Your experience

This combo ticket packs a double punch for less, including priority access to the Dolmabahçe Palace and a Bosphorus dinner cruise.

A glimpse into Ottoman royalty at Dolmabahçe

Begin your day at the Dolmabahçe Palace Gardens, where a representative will welcome you for a brief highlights tour. With skip-the-line access, you’ll head straight inside this architectural masterpiece.

Explore the lavish halls that once hosted sultans and dignitaries, where Ottoman and European styles converge in gold-leafed ceilings and grand décor. Marvel at the Baccarat crystal staircase, the world’s largest Bohemian crystal chandelier gifted by Queen Victoria, and the opulent Harem quarters with plush carpets and mother-of-pearl inlays.

Your audio guide reveals the stories behind the palace’s history, from imperial ceremonies to daily court life. Don't miss the National Painting Museum, home to one of the largest collections of Ottoman-era oil paintings.

A Turkish evening on the Bosphorus

In the evening, set sail on a 3-hour dinner cruise along the Bosphorus Strait. Pass iconic landmarks like the Dolmabahçe Palace, Bosphorus Bridge, and Maiden’s Tower as Istanbul glows under the city lights.

Enjoy live performances showcasing Turkish traditions—from sword and shield dances to Kafkas and belly dancing—followed by a DJ spinning late into the night.

Dine on a 4-course Turkish meal featuring dishes like fava bean dip with strawberries, tomato paste meze, and dolmas. Unlimited soft drinks are included throughout the cruise.
