What to Expect

Step aboard the Spirit of Seattle, the Official Christmas Ship, as it transforms into a dazzling spectacle adorned with hundreds of sparkling white lights. This beloved Pacific Northwest tradition invites guests to immerse themselves in the holiday spirit, sailing to picturesque waterfront communities across the Puget Sound. Feel the joyous atmosphere as a live community choir fills the air with festive music, creating an enchanting experience for everyone onboard and along the shoreline.

Choose your adventure: on the main Christmas Ship, enjoy a magical 1.5-hour journey featuring Santa's reading of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and access to a full-service bar. For those seeking grown-up holiday fun, hop on the 21+ follow boat for light trivia, chances to win giveaways, a selfie station, and a costume contest. Guests can also simply gather onshore to welcome the Christmas Ship and enjoy a 20-minute choir performance broadcasted directly from the vessel.
