Please contact us on WhatsApp after booking to confirm your menu choice and transfer details. Taksim and Beyoğlu: in our experience, police close main roads in these areas each New Year’s Eve. Diversions and severe traffic can delay transfers and cause guests to miss the cruise. We recommend the meeting-point ticket without hotel transfer for guests staying in these areas; plan your journey and arrive early. Hotel transfer is included only when a transfer ticket is selected.

At midnight we will be near Ortaköy. Fireworks depend on the municipality: in our experience there have been none over the past four years. If a display is organised, we will welcome it there; it cannot be guaranteed. Shared seating costs €205 per person without transfer or €220 with transfer. Private window tables are available for 2 or 4 guests at €270 per person without transfer or €285 with transfer, subject to availability.
