  Asked on January 5th, 2026

  Could our itinerary be changed so we could just fly home on day 10 out of Izmir? We have no need to return to Istanbul so it seems like it would be easier to leave from there if possible. Would there be a price savings with the less flight and hotel night?

    Can you tell me if an upgrade to a balcony room is available for the cruise? Would I know this before I book or do I just have to book and then wait and see? Do you know pricing information for it?

    Are the excursions and the balloon ride things that I would set up with you ahead of time?
  • 

    Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written January 2026

    We can end the tour on Day 10 with hotel check-out in Kuşadası. In this case, there will be a USD 100 per person discount if you cancel the flight to Istanbul and the additional night of accommodation.

    Can you tell me if tours on the cruise are in English and if we will have any difficulty with language barriers on the cruise?
  • D

    Don

    Traveler•Written January 2026

    Do you know if I am able to upgrade the room directly with the cruise line? They are showing the approximate price difference to be about $400 each more for a balcony room, so $1100 each seems excessive.
  • 

    Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written January 2026

    Yes, all tours are conducted in English, and you will not experience any language barriers during the cruise.
  • 

    Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written January 2026

    Upgrades are subject to availability. The current package price is based on an interior cabin. There are 2–3 higher cabin categories available on the cruise, including exterior cabins without a balcony. The balcony cabin upgrade is available for an additional USD 1,100 in total for 2 people.

    Does it matter what time we would arrive in Istanbul for the pickup transfer?
  • 

    Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written January 2026

    Regarding the last day of the cruise, you will arrive at Kuşadası Port at approximately 07:00–07:30. For this reason, we recommend looking for flight options from İzmir Airport after 11:00, ideally around noon. We can, of course, arrange your transfer from Kuşadası Port to İzmir Airport.

    Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written January 2026

    Regarding Day 1, as this is only an arrival transfer day, your arrival time does not matter. We will arrange your airport transfer to the hotel at any time based on your arrival.

  We like this tour but really want a small boat, not a big ship. Can you offer something like that? How big is this shop?

    This tour operates with the Celestyal Discovery cruise, which is a classic cruise ship. Unfortunately, it is not possible to arrange this tour with a smaller vessel.

    Sounds like the boat is too big for our desires. We could fly to Greece and then book a small boat there?
  • 

    Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written April 2025

    The tour continues with the same cruise, so unfortunately, it will not be possible to book a smaller boat for the journey. As this is a package tour, we are unable to accommodate this request.

    I would need a double and a single supplement. I initially asked about getting off the boat in Athens but I reread the itinerary and I think we would stay till the end of the tour.
