As the winter schedule of Şehir Hatları, a subsidiary of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB), comes to a close, the newly organized summer schedule has been announced to run from June 29 to September 6, 2026. The summer timetable, planned to remain in effect until September 6, 2026, aims to operate an average of 839 daily ferry trips.
Night Ferry Services to Continue
Night ferry services will remain operational throughout the summer season. Daily night trips will be available on the Bostancı-Adalar ring line. Additionally, the overnight services on the Kadıköy-Karaköy-Beşiktaş route, connecting Friday to Saturday and Saturday to Sunday, will continue all summer long.
The Tuzla-Pendik-Adalar route, inaugurated two years ago, will remain in service this year, alongside the Maltepe-Adalar, Kabataş-Adalar, Adalar-Beşiktaş, and Bostancı-Adalar ring lines, as well as the Büyükada-Sedef Adası route.
Moonlight Cruises will once again be organized this year along the Bostancı-Kadıköy-Eminönü-Üsküdar-Beşiktaş-Rumeli Kavağı-Anadolu Kavağı route.
The Long Bosphorus Tour and Short Bosphorus Tour will each operate once a day. On public holidays and national festivals, the Short Bosphorus Tour will run twice daily.
