We will be taking this cruise plus the 2 nights each for the post & pre cruise stay
at the Intercontinental hotels. NCL does not provide excursions during the hotel
stay.
In Istanbul there are tours available, and there is substantial savings if the group is larger. As an example for 2 people a 4-hour tour is $85/person, for 4
participants the cost is $50/person, and for 6 the cost is $35/person.
Anyone interested in sharing a vehicle and cut down on the cost of a tour?

Welcome to our cruise mad family ft

I have moved your thread into our NCL roll call area as it's more likely to be found by fellow cruisers

I have sailed on this ship already and was quite impressed with her, she is vibrantly coloured in side and out and had a small ship feel, despite being over 93k tons.

The itinerary that you are doing has also proved to be very popular, I hope that you enjoy your cruise and that you also enjoy being a part of this active and friendly community too
