All aboard for holiday cheer! There’s a Christmas ship setting sail from Seattle, and you can be on it!

Argosy Cruises is bringing back the Christmas Ship Festival, which has been a holiday tradition since 1949!

The official Christmas ship is decked to the nines in hundreds of twinkling lights that sparkle on the water as it sails around Puget Sound, stopping at different waterfront communities for on-shore activities.

Plus, choirs on board the Christmas Ship serenade you with holiday music to set the festive mood.

In addition to the 1.5-hour cruise to a waterfront community, the experience will also include entertainment and a special reading of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, as well as a full-service bar serving specialty cocktails, local wine and beer, and non-alcoholic beverages.

Argosy Cruises offers a 2 PM sailing that’s open to all ages and includes cookies with Santa and coloring activities, along with an 8 PM sailing with an exclusive “Jolly Hour” offering discounted drinks.

The Christmas Ship has sailings until Monday, December 23rd, so we recommend booking your tickets well in advance to make sure you don’t miss out.

Check out the full schedule online to plan ahead, and take a look here for directions and parking locations.

It’s time to set sail and get into the holiday spirit the way only a true, PNW’er can – on the water!
