cruise ships on lake with holiday lights

Get ready to cozy up and cruise into the holiday spirit on our festive cruise.

Wear your most festive and outrageous sweater for a chance to win our Ugly Sweater Contest while you cruise along Lake Union and soak in the twinkling lights of the Seattle Christmas Boat Parade.

Please note that we cap this cruise at a lower passenger count due to the colder weather during this time. We have a lower cabin that is largely enclosed with heating downstairs. Jackets and warmer clothing is still encouraged to be worn.

  • Breathtaking views of Seattle
