TL;DR
The Long Bosphorus Cruise from Eminönü runs once daily and is usually more expensive than travelling independently. One-way tickets, called Tek yön, were previously available, allowing travellers to return to Istanbul by a different route; confirm that this fare is still sold before going.
According to recent traveller feedback, ticket prices in Istanbul tend to increase rather than fall. Check the current fare shortly before taking the Long Bosphorus Cruise from Eminönü.
Independent travel is generally more flexible than an organised excursion: you can allow more time for the outing and choose your own boat or onward transport instead of following a fixed tour schedule.
The Long Bosphorus Cruise from Eminönü departs only once a day, costs noticeably more than travelling independently, and leaves limited time at the stop. Travellers previously could request a Tek yön, or one-way ticket, and return via another route.
