It took 13 years to build and was completed in 1856, and served as the administrative center of the Ottoman Empire until 1922. The palace was commissioned by Sultan Abdülmecid (who decided there should be a more European palace than Topkapi) and designed by Armenian architect Karabet Balian and his son Nikoğos Balian. (read Balyan family on wikipedia). It is an ostentatious blend architectural styles including Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical and modern Ottoman, dripping in luxury

Great mix of sightseeing and entertainment! - his cruise was the perfect way to combine sightseeing and Turkish culture. Watching the sunset over the Bosphorus while enjoying a delicious meal was a memorable experience. The belly dancing and folk performances were fun and engaging. Definitely worth it!

Amazing Experience - I called to book, and the lady I spoke to said they would be able to pick us up from our hotel, but the morning of the day, I got a WhatsApp message saying we were on the Asian side, therefore they wouldn't be picking us up or dropping us off. which was very disappointing. Aside from that, the vibe was amazing. My friend and I sat with a fanatical, welcoming family. We were seated right in front of where the actual show and fun were happening. Everyone literally passed the vibe check, as we all partied hard. I think the DJ could tell I was Nigerian; therefore, when I came out to dance, he played Nigerian music, which was wild and amazing. The waiter who attended to our table was amazing (he deserves a pay raise) and constantly checked on us. The food was not great, though. There were photographers there who took professional pictures (both hard and soft copies were given to us at the cost of $30). Every damn person I met passed the vibe check. I will definitely do this again whenever I visit Istanbul.

Worth doing - The waiter that served me was excellent. They tried their best to put the English speaking people together.
Also the view from the river at night time was very good

it is way less than you expect - The idea of a one day cruise is great, sounds good and romantic, but being honest they did not deliver What we expected
The staff were very kind but this is not a high end experience, even when it pretends to be, the food is very basic, not enough, in the middle they give you one chicken nugget... One, And it was cold. When you get the entrance with alcohol - you still need to pay inside the boat for special drinks.
Someone came and took pictures of us, and then he brought the photos, we thought it was included in the price as noone told us before hand we needed to pay. Some How they take 5 minutes to make you pose for pictures, and then come back and charge you 100 EUR if you want the already printed photos of you.. It felt pushy, plus, we heard the photographers changing the prices for everyone
. The view at night is not that great, there are a few spots that are illuminated at night but most of the time you dont see much so its not a good plan if you want to actually apreciate the city
It gets very crowded and you barely have space to stand up from your table and go out. The dancers are sweet people but they are not entertaining enough, they do things people can learn in 2 days. There was only one guy who gave an actual performance.
Most of the people there had fun because they joked and danced with their own families and friends, I enjoyed more watching them dance than the actual dancers.
If I could go back and spend my last night in Istanbul in a different place, I would. I felt like I wasted my time- Not worth the price, do not recommend

Turquey trick photographs more expensive than the cruise. - Was expecting way more. For me it was not that worth. Got in a fight with my girlfriend because they come all happy and take pictures of you only to then ask you 100Euros for the pictures. 100Euros like 10Euros per picture. No way i will pay that much for pictures. After that i did not enjoy much, a feeling that they only want your money, its not like i did not like the pictures but why don't you say the price first, it would have saved us this feeling. And you see him selling the pictures for other for 30-50Euros... Very wrong way to do it.
Food was ok not something like wow. Drinks where as much as you want.
Alcoholic drinks where fine, but for something special they ask for 10Euros... for the price of the area that is insane.
Dances where nice.
Would not do it again.
Good luck for who goes.

I didnt like it - The food was not good, the chicken was pink and raw, things were cold, the wine was watery , entertaintment was boring, you cannot see the city because the lights of the boat reflect on the windows, they take photos and then charge you 3 times the price of the cruise if you like them. It was a very sad experience, it is okay if you dont have actual nice expectations, but even if you dont ask for much and try to be kind, yes, the waiters are good and attentive, but the whole activity is very low level. I wish I could have my money back
