Cruise-Port Pickup After Disembarkation
Plan pickup around your expected terminal exit time rather than your ship’s scheduled docking time. Leaving the ship, collecting luggage and completing required terminal procedures can take additional time.
Follow the Galataport meeting instructions in your booking confirmation. Share your ship name, passenger count, luggage details and an active contact number so pickup can be coordinated.
Include large suitcases, cabin bags and strollers when requesting a vehicle. Passenger capacity alone may not provide enough space for all cruise luggage.
Transfers to Sultanahmet and Old City Hotels
A private transfer takes you toward your confirmed accommodation without carrying bags between public transport stops.
Provide your full hotel name and street address before travel. Some Historic Peninsula hotels are on narrow roads, pedestrian streets or routes with vehicle restrictions. If the entrance cannot be reached legally or safely, drop-off is arranged at the nearest suitable permitted point.
