Note of warning about traffic
Dear Guests,

With over 30 years of experience in Istanbul tourism, we kindly share this recommendation for a smooth New Year’s Eve.

Although our New Year’s package includes transfers, heavy traffic and road closures on December 31 have caused delays in previous years, particularly for guests traveling from the Asian side or distant areas.

We therefore recommend arriving in the Eminönü/Sultanahmet area earlier in the evening.
Our cruise departs from Eminönü, in the heart of the Historical Peninsula, easily accessible by tram, ferry, taxi, or on foot.

Guests who arrive early are welcome to relax with a drink at our Utopian Rooftop Restaurant in Sultanahmet before the cruise.

Our program continues until 03:00 AM, allowing a comfortable return to your hotel via our transfer after traffic eases.
