From Magic in the Market to local holiday lighting displays, there are plenty of unique ways that Seattle celebrates the holiday season. One of the best and most classically PNW has to be the Argosy Cruises Christmas Ship Festival. It returns this month and here’s what to expect and how to partake.
The ship-to-shore holiday celebration is in its 72nd year, originally starting in 1949. Onlookers can see The Spirit of Seattle decorated with hundreds of shimmery white lights as it sails to different Puget Sound waterfront communities. In total, about 40 are visited.

While it’s spectacular to watch the ships from around the sound, you can actually go on board both the main ship and follow boat. On board, you’ll get to be up close and personal with the choirs that fill Puget Sound with holiday cheer.
If you choose to purchase tickets for the Christmas ship you’ll get to enjoy the following.
If you choose to purchase tickets for the 21+ Follow Boat you’ll get to enjoy these fun offerings.

When: November 35th-27th, Weekends in December until the 23rd
