Arrive early for boarding
Boarding often begins before the advertised time—arrive 20–30 minutes early to secure window seating and photo-friendly tables.
Dress for the deck
Even summer nights can be breezy on the water; bring a light jacket or layers to stay comfortable outdoors.
Motion-sickness prevention
If you’re susceptible, pick an inner table, face forward, or take medication before boarding to limit discomfort.
Camera and lighting
Low light and moving subjects require higher ISO or steady hands—bring a compact tripod or image-stabilized camera for night shots.
Light windbreaker or jacket
Evenings on the Bosphorus can be cool and breezy—use a windbreaker to stay comfortable on deck.
