What to expect

Our Blue Cruises are a must do if travelling to southern Turkey and you want to see the Mediterranean. They are an overall highlight for many of our guests who have travelled to Turkey. However, please read this section on what to expect from your trip.

• We use our standard gulets for our regular cabin cruises. In some cases they will be equipped with AC however, are not turned on for these particular cruises. All regular cruises will not provide AC.

• Hotel or cruise comfort should not be expected on standard Blue Cruises. Most cabins have a private bathroom with showers, enough space for your bags, and very few have wardrobes and power outlets. Size of cabins also vary on all boats, they are a comfortable size but may be smaller than expected.

• All our gulets are Turkish handmade and wooden, therefore all are unique in size, cabin style, bedding configuration and condition. Each gulet is different and you will rarely find two the same.
