Dating back to 1828, when Istanbul met its first steamboat named 'Swift,' this historical vessel has been lovingly restored to become the gem it is today. The name 'Vapeur' originates from the French word “bateau à vapeur,” meaning steamboat. In Turkish, it's known as “buhar gemisi.” These vessels were the precursors to the iconic Istanbul ferries we know today.
