About this experience

This is the complete package — the fullest way to celebrate New Year's Eve in Istanbul, with nothing left to arrange and nothing to pay for on board. The New Year's Eve Bosphorus Dinner Cruise and Show with Unlimited Alcoholic Drinks and Hotel Transfer by Mega Lüfer Yachts is a one-night-only, all-inclusive gala celebration held on 31 December 2026: round-trip hotel transportation, a festive gala dinner at your reserved private table, an unlimited local drinks package, live entertainment, and midnight fireworks over the Bosphorus.

Your evening begins with pickup from select hotel locations in Istanbul in an air-conditioned van, delivering you directly to the pier on the busiest night of the year. On arrival, the Mega Lüfer Yachts crew welcomes you aboard and seats you at your private table before the yacht sets sail into the strait between two continents.

As you cruise, Istanbul's most iconic landmarks light up the night around you: Dolmabahçe Palace, Beylerbeyi Palace and Ortaköy Mosque along the shoreline, the Bosphorus and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridges glittering overhead, the medieval Maiden's Tower on its tiny island, and Galata Tower rising over the old city. At your table, a festive New Year's Eve gala dinner is served alongside unlimited soft drinks and an unlimited local alcoholic beverage package — local branded wine, beer, rakı, vodka and gin — flowing throughout the night.

The stage programme is built for the biggest party of the year: live Turkish folk dancing, Latin flamenco performances and a DJ carry the celebration towards midnight. As the countdown begins, caviar canapés are served with a Champagne toast, and at the stroke of twelve you'll watch Istanbul's New Year fireworks explode over the Bosphorus from the water itself.

When the night winds down, your driver returns you comfortably to your hotel. With transfer, dinner, unlimited drinks and the midnight toast all included, this is the definitive stress-free choice for couples, groups and anyone who wants to welcome 2027 in Istanbul without a single logistical worry.
