watsonbeau Posted March 11 #1 Share Posted March 11 A long time since I visited ! We are on QV this year with an overnight in Istanbul. Does anyone know where Cunard usually berth there ? Is it walking distance to the Galatea bridge or do they run a shuttle ? We will maybe do a tour the one day but explore on our own on the other ? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TouchstoneFeste Posted March 11 #2 Share Posted March 11 I imagine they would berth at the new port/terminal, Galataport.

Thank you We were there in October last year though joining Azamara Onward. There is a new cruise terminal which basically is underground .... Once through the check-in one heads up onto the jetty via a walkway, indicated by the red arrow... It is still within a 15 minute walk of the Galata Bridge..... ...and the usual modes of transport are all as they have been over the years.

If you have transfers booked all well and good but if arranging your own you really need a taxi that knows and understands where you are going.
