Fly Stay Cruise - 24 Day Grand Danube to Istanbul: From Bavaria to the Bosphorus | Exclusi...
Enjoy an exceptional-value holiday that seamlessly combines return flights, pre- and post-cruise hotels and/or tours with a cruise—removing the stress of planning so you can enjoy every moment from departure to return.
This package includes international airfares and flights will be added to your booking at no additional cost.
River cruises are a relaxed, informal way to travel - there are fewer passengers on board compared to an ocean cruise, which means ample opportunity to make lifelong friends. You will pass through the world's most loved cities and towns; disembark and enjoy a shore excursion or two, or simply wander around and explore on your own.
This tour is categorised as 3 out of 5

On arrival, make your way to your hotel in the Sultanahmet Old City district and check in for the first of three nights. The rest of the day is at leisure to begin exploring the city where Europe meets Asia. Take a sunset stroll around Sultanahmet to see the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia lit up at night, or find a rooftop restaurant for dinner with views over the Bosphorus.

After breakfast, your full day is at leisure to explore Sultanahmet, the historic heart of Istanbul. Start at the Hagia Sophia, the great cathedral-turned-mosque that has dominated the Istanbul skyline for nearly 1,500 years. Across the square stands the Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque) with its six minarets and cascade of domes. Visit Topkapi Palace, the former residence of the Ottoman sultans, with its Imperial Harem and the Treasury holding the Topkapi Dagger and the 86-carat Spoonmaker's Diamond. Descend into the Basilica Cistern, the eerie underground Byzantine waterworks. Lunch at a traditional Turkish restaurant in Sultanahmet, then spend the afternoon at the Grand Bazaar with its 4,000 shops selling carpets, ceramics, lokum and Turkish lanterns.
After breakfast, your second full day in Istanbul is at leisure. A Bosphorus cruise is the must-do experience today - a relaxed boat trip up the strait that divides Europe and Asia, past Ottoman-era yali waterside mansions, the Dolmabahce Palace, Rumeli Hisari fortress and under the bridges that link two continents. Back ashore, cross the Galata Bridge to Beyoğlu and the modern side of Istanbul - ride the historic underground funicular up to Galata Tower for panoramic views, walk along Istiklal Avenue (Istanbul's lively pedestrian boulevard), and find a rooftop bar in Karaköy for sunset. Tonight, dive into Istanbul's renowned food scene - mezze, kebabs, baklava and Turkish coffee.

https://inspiringvacations-8357211.hs-sites.com/visa-information
You’ll need a valid passport to travel internationally and most countries require your passport to have a minimum of 6 months validity, so remember to check the expiry date.
We need your passport information to get everything ready for your tour so the information on your booking must match your passport exactly. Please take care to provide the correct details. We recommend carrying a copy of the photo page of your passport while travelling and leaving a copy at home with family or friends.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is strongly recommended on all our tours. We require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. It is also important to consider forced pre-tour cancellations and how your chosen insurance policy may cover such circumstances, so please keep this in mind when choosing your provider.
We strongly recommend all travellers have a policy that also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage or personal effects. For international tours, you will be asked by your tour leader for your travel insurance details if they were not already added to your Traveller Hub account pre-departure.
If you have credit card insurance your Inspiring Vacations tour leader or local guide may require details of the participating insurer/underwriter, the level of coverage, policy number, and emergency contact number rather than the bank's name and your credit card details. Please contact your bank for these details before arriving in-country.
Before you depart, you will be asked to submit your Travel Insurance details through the booking holder's Traveller Hub account through the Inspiring Vacations website. This is to ensure that we have this information readily available should we ever need it.

About Your Inspiring Bonus Value
Your package has been designed to deliver exceptional value by bundling everything you need into one all-in fare — including flights, accommodation, your cruise, and a range of additional inclusions provided by the cruise line.
The "Inspiring Bonus Value" figure shown represents the indicative value of these inclusions if you were to purchase them separately, either onboard or directly from the supplier; it is not a discount, refund, cash equivalent, or amount deducted from your fare, and the value figure is not redeemable for cash or transferable.
This figure is calculated by reference to the cruise line's own published value for inclusions provided (where applicable), the standard onboard rate of any shore excursion credits applied to eligible ports of call, and the recommended retail rate of any bundled hotel nights, flights, tours, transfers, complimentary upgrades or other extras included in your package at the time of pricing; supplier-supplied values and rates used in this calculation are documented and available on request, and USD amounts are converted to AUD at an indicative rate that may vary.
All figures shown are approximate and indicative only, specific inclusions vary by stateroom category, package and supplier, and are subject to availability and the cruise line's terms and conditions, and inclusions may be substituted with items of equivalent or higher value where required. If the cruise line modifies or withdraws an inclusion after your booking is confirmed, Inspiring Vacations will pass on the modified inclusion as advised by the supplier; the Inspiring Bonus Value is calculated at the time of pricing and is not a guarantee of specific inclusions through to the date of travel, and where a package is purchased at a promotional price, the Inspiring Bonus Value figure relates to the inclusions of the package, not any discount applied.
For questions about how the Inspiring Bonus Value has been calculated for your package, please contact our Cruise Specialists on 1300 88 66 88.
