    Istanbul, Turkey
    • Istanbul, Turkey
    Arrive in Istanbul, a city that has enchanted visitors for thousands of years. As your guide whisks you from the airport to your hotel, get a sense of this City of Seven Hills that spans two continents. Spend the rest of the day on your own, exploring the neighborhoods surrounding your hotel, or just explore your hotel. Built in 1892 to host guests on the Orient Express, it's loaded with history, from the room where Agatha Christie supposedly penned "Murder on the Orient Express" to the Ataturk Museum in room 101 - a favorite spot for the founder of Turkey's republic. Even Mata Hari stayed here. (Includes overnight at Pera Palace Hotel.) ...

    Istanbul, Turkey
    • Istanbul, Turkey
    Begin your discovery of Istanbul with the historic district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site crowded with centuries-old gems. See the remains of the Hippodrome, the site of chariot races and the social center of the city back when it was known as Byzantium. Decide for yourself which is more spectacular, Ayasofya Mosque, built as a Christian basilica nearly 1500 years ago, or the Blue Mosque, commissioned by Sultan Ahmet I to outshine Ayasofya. Visit the newly restored Theodosius Cistern, one of the greatest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. After a traditional Turkish lunch, wrap up the day at Topkapi Palace, home to Ottoman sultans for nearly four centuries. (Includes overnight at Pera Palace Hotel.) ...

    Istanbul, Turkey
    • Istanbul, Turkey
    You'll be surprised to discover just how advanced architecture was in the 16th century when you visit Suleymaniye Mosque, one of the best (and largest) examples of Ottoman Islamic architecture in Istanbul. Perfectly placed windows provide natural lighting, superb acoustics were achieved by positioning empty pots, and there's even a soot room designed to prevent damage to the mosque from candles and oil lamps. The soot was later collected and recycled into ink. From here, it's off to the Grand Bazaar to try your hand at haggling, or at least window shopping - without the windows. Later, take in Istanbul's unparalleled skyline during a motor yacht cruise along the Bosphorus. Overnight at the Pera Palace Hotel. ...

    Cruise Begins
    • Cruise Begins
    Approaching the lovely Dolmabahce Palace on the Bosporus with its Rococo/Baroque exterior, you might think you've been transported to early Europe. Sumptuous details include a 4.5-ton crystal chandelier, a gift from Queen Victoria, and handmade silk Hereke carpets. Contrast that with the classic Ottoman architecture of the intimate Rustem Pasha Mosque. The Spice Bazaar is next, an explosion of colors and aromas. Pick up some Turkish delight, dried figs, fresh-ground coffee or nuts for later. After these visits, make your way to the port and your waiting yacht. ...
