Galataport sits in Karaköy, directly on the Bosphorus and within walking distance of Beyoğlu — which is exactly why the surrounding streets seize up on embarkation days.
We time pickups against the ship's published schedule rather than a guessed hour, and we size the vehicle against cruise luggage, which is routinely larger than airline luggage.
Timed to the ship
Pickups planned against embarkation and disembarkation windows, not a generic hour.
Real luggage capacity
Cruise cases are oversized. We quote the vehicle that actually fits them, not the cheapest one.
Shore excursions
Hourly hire with a chauffeur for the hours your ship is in port, back at the gangway on time.
Port to airport
Direct Galataport transfers to IST or SAW with flight tracking on the return leg.
Disembarkation days
Ships release passengers in waves and the terminal exit is busy for hours. Your chauffeur waits at the arranged meeting point with a name sign and does not start any waiting charge while the terminal is clearing.
A day in port
If your ship is in Istanbul for the day, hourly hire is usually the right answer: the Old City, the Bosphorus and the Spice Bazaar in one loop, with the chauffeur tracking the all-aboard time so you do not have to.
Common questions
Yes. Cruise terminals clear in waves and we plan for it — no waiting charge starts while the terminal is still releasing passengers.
