Our pick
Our pick is the New Year's Eve party cruise, which sells dinner, show and music in one evening. Check on the listing that the edition is the one of 31 December 2026 (some pages show "2027") and read which drinks are included: on several listings alcohol is extra.
How to choose
- All included: the party cruise with dinner and drinks, hotel transfer optional.
- A calmer evening: an ordinary dinner, compared in our Bosphorus dinner cruise guide.
Practical tips
- The transfer. One seller says pickup starts up to 90 minutes before departure and only from central hotels on the European side: check yours.
- The fireworks. One traveller found them insufficient: ask the seller what happens if they are cancelled.
- Cancellation. Several listings advertise free cancellation up to 24 hours before: read yours.
