About this experience

Welcome 2027 on the Bosphorus with a gala dinner at your private table and unlimited local alcoholic drinks — wine, beer, rakı, vodka and gin — plus unlimited soft drinks. Live show, DJ, and caviar canapés with a Champagne toast at midnight under the fireworks. Hotel transfer is not included — meet us at Kabataş.

Toast the arrival of 2027 with a glass in hand and Istanbul's skyline all around you. The New Year's Eve Bosphorus Dinner Cruise and Show with Unlimited Alcoholic Drinks by Mega Lüfer Yachts is a one-night-only gala celebration held on 31 December 2026, pairing a festive dinner at your reserved private table with an all-inclusive local drinks package and a live entertainment programme that carries you past midnight in true celebration style.

Your evening begins at the Mega Lüfer Kabataş meeting point, where the crew checks you in and guides you to your private table. As the yacht sails into the strait, the city's most iconic landmarks unfold around you: the illuminated Dolmabahçe Palace, Beylerbeyi Palace and Ortaköy Mosque at the water's edge, the glittering Bosphorus and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridges 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 including local branded wine, beer, rakı, vodka and gin — served throughout the night, so your glass never stays empty during the celebration.

The stage programme is built for a party: professional performers present live Turkish folk dancing and Latin flamenco, while a DJ keeps the energy up between shows. As midnight approaches, caviar canapés are served with a Champagne toast, and when the clock strikes twelve you'll watch Istanbul's New Year fireworks display explode over the Bosphorus from the water itself.

This option does not include hotel transfer — guests make their own way to the designated meeting point at Kabataş, a short walk from Dolmabahçe Palace and Galataport and easily reached by tram or funicular. It is the perfect choice for guests staying centrally who want a fully unlimited, all-drinks-included New Year's Eve on the Bosphorus.
