The Experience: What You Can Expect

When you book the StarCraft Luxury Cruise, you’re signing up for more than just a boat ride — it’s a carefully curated experience that mixes scenic beauty with lively entertainment. The day cruise begins around 10:30 am, giving you a full five hours on the water, ending around 3:30 pm. The night cruise departs at 10:00 pm and lasts until 1:00 am, perfect for night owls wanting to dance under the stars.

Departure and Transfers

Both options depart from Alanya Harbour, easily accessible with hotel pickups arranged from Side. The pickup logistics are handled smoothly, and you’ll be notified the day before your tour about your specific pickup time, usually waiting at the hotel’s security gate about 10 minutes early. This hassle-free transfer is a big plus, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the area or want to avoid the stress of arranging transport yourself.

The Yacht: A Step Above

The StarCraft yacht itself is described as the Mediterranean’s most elegant vessel in this context. We loved the way the yacht’s luxurious design and spacious decks provided a comfortable setting for both relaxing and socializing. It feels more like a private club on water than a typical boat tour, which adds to the overall appeal.

The Day Cruise: Sun, Sea, and Snacks

During the day cruise, you’ll enjoy three swimming stops in scenic bays with crystal-clear waters. These are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply floating in the warm Mediterranean. The buffet lunch onboard is described as delicious, and since unlimited soft drinks are included, you can sip on cola, water, or juices as you soak up the sun.

A standout feature is the foam party — on deck, with a lively live DJ pumping out tunes, foam billowing around, creating a surreal floating dance floor. Several reviews mention the fun and energetic atmosphere, saying things like “the foam party was hilarious and lively.” It’s a unique, memorable part of the experience, especially for those who enjoy a bit of wild fun.

Many reviewers call this “an incredible night out,” emphasizing the dance floor under the stars and the party ambiance.

The foam party continues, and the music keeps everyone moving. This cruise is clearly geared toward party lovers and night owls who want to dance away their evening in a lively setting.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The all-inclusive aspect is a major selling point—lunch and unlimited soft drinks during the day, and unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks at night. The onboard entertainment, foam parties, and live DJ are all part of the package, which means you get a lot of value.

However, you’ll need to pay separately for personal expenses, professional photos or videos if you want to capture the moment, and premium alcoholic beverages outside the standard drinks. Snacks outside the set menu or ice cream are also extra.
