SPECIAL VISITS / CRUISE PASSENGERS
Your shore time
is valuable.
Istanbul is a rewarding cruise stop, but port procedures and traffic matter. We plan the route backward from the time you need to be back.
A CLOSER LOOK
Build a shore visit around the clock.
Share the ship name, docking time, all-aboard deadline and exact terminal, if known. The team can discuss the right scope for a half-day or longer shore visit.
We avoid promising a packed itinerary that depends on perfect traffic. Travel time, queues and unexpected delays deserve room in the schedule.
Things we need to know
- Ship and arrival terminal
- Earliest disembarkation and required return time
- Preferred sights and mobility considerations
- Whether you prefer guide-only or a tour with transfers
BEFORE YOU ASK
The practical questions
Can we be picked up at Galataport? +
Port pickup may be arranged, subject to the confirmed itinerary and security/access rules.
What if our ship schedule changes? +
Contact the team as early as possible. Any changes are handled according to the agreed conditions and availability.
Can we do Sultanahmet and Galata in a short stop? +
That depends on your available shore hours, traffic and planned site visits. We will recommend a realistic route.
