Holiday Cocktail or Dinner Cruise on San Francisco Bay

This winter, celebrate the spirit of the season and spend an evening relaxing on the water during a 2-hour holiday cocktail or dinner cruise on the San Francisco Bay. Slip away from your hectic schedule to enjoy passed hors d’oeuvres and cocktails while watching the sun set over the city, or choose to fill up with a seasonally-themed buffet brimming with your favorite holiday options. With views of iconic San Francisco landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the Transamerica building, this cruise is one gift you won’t feel guilty giving yourself.

Begin your afternoon on the water at the Embarcadero’s Pier 3, where your boat will be waiting. Once onboard, you’ll be greeted with a glass of sparkling wine to enjoy while exploring the indoor and outdoor viewing areas. Both 2-hour cruises reveal San Francisco’s top sights from a whole new vantage point.

If you opt for the cocktail option, get ready to party with views of Coit Tower, Angel Island and the Bay Bridge in the background. Bring along a few friends or family and snack on passed hors d’oeuvres as you float along the bay, taking in the sights of the city. Festive decorations and music will get you in the holiday mood, and the cruise is an ideal way to celebrate the joy of the season with loved ones.

For more filling fare, select the seasonally-themed buffet dinner cruise. During the sit-down dinner, dine on delicious holiday favorites like turkey breast with cranberry sauce and pecan pie. Watch the sun set over the Golden Gate Bridge, view Alcatraz from the water and admire the twinkling lights of the San Francisco skyline as the festive boat whisks you around the bay.

Whichever cruise you select, you’ll be treated to a relaxing evening with seasonal touches. Take the opportunity to get in the holiday mood—whether you’re revisiting your favorite San Francisco landmarks or viewing them for the first time—before returning to reality and more traditional celebrations of the season.
