How much time do you have?
For cruise guests the key figure is the all-aboard time. A hammam ritual takes 60 minutes; allow about an hour and a half with changing and a short rest. Packages that include a massage run between 85 and 120 minutes. Add the walk and dressing time to the treatment you choose, and leave the rest for Karaköy.
From the port to Yüksek Kaldırım
Sultan Spa is on Yüksek Kaldırım Street in Karaköy. Leaving Galataport towards Karaköy square, the street climbs uphill in the direction of Galata Tower. The route is short but steep, so comfortable shoes help. If you prefer the tram, Karaköy is the closest stop.
Which treatment suits a port day?
With limited time, the Traditional Turkish Bath with body peeling, foam massage and clay mask is a good introduction. With half a day, the Classic Package adds a massage after the bath. Couples packages are priced for two guests, and each treatment page lists what is included.
When should you book?
Cruise schedules are known days ahead, so the safest plan is to send your request before you arrive. Choose a date and time in the booking calendar; the appointment is confirmed once our team has checked availability. Write your all-aboard time in the note field so the session can be planned around it. No online payment is taken.
What should you bring?
Towels, slippers and a traditional wrap are provided, so there is no need to carry a large bag. Allow a few minutes to dry your hair and rest, then finish with a coffee in Karaköy on the way back to the ship.
