Your guide will welcome you at the cruise pier and lead you directly to Istanbul’s most celebrated sites, including the awe-inspiring Hagia Sophia, the mysterious Basilica Cistern, and the majestic Blue Mosque.

The itinerary is flexible, with your guide sharing captivating stories and insights that bring Istanbul’s rich history to life before escorting you back to the cruise pier.
