The main cruise port is Galataport in the Karaköy district on the European side, opened in 2021. It hosts all large ships from MSC, Costa, NCL and MSC Yacht Club.

The peak season is May-September: maximum routes, all lines, higher prices. The low season is November-March: limited choice, mainly MSC and Costa, but prices 30-40% below summer. April and October are shoulder months — comfortable weather and average prices, the best price-to-quality balance.
