One of the best ways to experience the rugged beauty of Puget Sound is by boat, and Seattle’s marine climate means that temperatures are mild even in November and December, usually hovering in the 50’s. Argosy Cruises offers several different cruise options, combining breathtaking views with delicious food or family fun. Here’s an overview of some upcoming cruises:

Thursday, November 22
Argosy’s Thanksgiving Dinner Cruise on Elliot Bay includes a seated 4-course dinner, live music, and an arts and crafts area for kids. Choose from entrees like a traditional roast turkey, wild Chinook salmon, butternut squash ravioli, or baked stuffed double pork chop.

Saturday, November 24
The Murder Mystery Dinner Cruise features an interactive dinner theater mystery. Enjoy a 3-course dinner as you try to track down the culprit in this uproariously entertaining evening!

December 1 - 23
The Christmas Ship Festival is a 58 year old Seattle tradition. Each night the ships sail to different waterfront communities, and onboard choirs serenade the crowds gathered on the shores. It’s the largest holiday floating parade in the world, and a great way to get into the holiday spirit!
