A full sightseeing day or one particular interest?

The eight-hour private guided Istanbul tour is an option to discuss for a longer port call. For a more focused visit, the Turkish rug shopping tour provides an expert-led introduction to rug shopping around the Grand Bazaar and lists cruise-port pickup and drop-off.

Check the available hours ashore

Use your all-aboard time when discussing the itinerary, not just the ship’s departure time. Disembarkation, traffic and the transfer back to port all use part of the day. The exact sights depend on the tour you choose and the time available.

Before reserving your port tour

Send the ship name, sailing date and confirmed Istanbul port details. Ask which entrance fees and transport are included in your chosen product. If you have several nights in the city before or after your cruise, the Istanbul tours collection gives you more ways to plan those extra days.
