Celebrate in style as you cruise through the Bosphorus strait on this New Year's night out. Scope out skyline views of Istanbul as you clink glasses of bubbly, tuck into a tasty dinner of Turkish specialities, and watch traditional folk performances while a DJ spins tunes to get you dancing.

Get picked up from your Istanbul hotel, or meet up with your boat at a ferry dock on the north side of the Bosphorus. Climb aboard when you arrive, grabbing a welcome drink as you enter this spacious boat's lively interior. After you find your table, watch as the shore slips away and you set a course for the busy waters of the Bosphorus strait.

Enjoy a delicious dinner, catching glimpses of the illuminated Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, Blue Mosque, and Dolmabahçe Palace as you ride. While you dine, listen to folk musicians pluck out Uskudara Gideriken, a traditional Turkish song, catch the costumed choreography of an Asuk Mask dance, and see the jangling chains and swaying movements of belly dancers as they weave between tables.

Uncover the meaning behind an authentic Henna ceremony and practice a romantic Turkish dance once dinner is over. Keep an eye on the clock, grab a glass of champagne, and then make a toast as the clock strikes midnight. Spend the rest of your evening on the dance floor or admiring the views out on deck before you cruise back to the port and catch a return ride to your hotel.
