Is it family & kid friendly?
Yes, Bosphorus cruises are a great outing for families. The pace is calm, the boats are comfortable, and the palaces, bridges, and passing boats keep children interested. Here is what to know before you bring the kids.
Are cruises suitable for children?
Cruises welcome families and most ages. A daytime sightseeing or day cruise is the easiest choice for young children, as it is shorter and runs in daylight. A dinner cruise is fine for families too, but it runs late into the evening with a show, so it suits older children who can stay up.
Child fares
Many cruises offer reduced or free fares for younger children, and the age bands vary by cruise, for example free for infants and a discount for young children. The exact child price shows on each listing when you set the number of guests, so check it there, or contact us if you are unsure.
Safety on board
- Secured railings: around the deck
- Life jackets: available on board
- Crew on hand: throughout the cruise
- Keep little ones close: stay with young children near the open deck
Tips for a smooth family trip
- For very young children, pick a shorter daytime cruise
- Bring a light layer, as it is cooler on the water, plus sun protection in the warmer months
- Tell us your group’s ages and any dietary needs when booking, so the menu can be prepared
- If you need to bring a stroller, contact us first, as space on board can be limited
