Celebrate The Holidays In Seattle – 7 Ways To Cruise Through the Holidays with Waterways Cruises
Staying close to home here in Seattle for the holidays this year? Celebrate the holidays while cruising in style on a holiday-themed dining cruise with Waterways Cruises.
The holiday season is a time of wonder and joy, and there’s no better place to experience its magic than in the beautiful city of Seattle. Nestled in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle transforms into a winter wonderland during this time of year, offering a unique blend of festive traditions, stunning light displays, and a warm sense of community.
Seattle hosts a variety of holiday events and activities for the whole family. The annual Christmas Ship Festival and Parade Of Lights is a beloved tradition, where beautifully decorated boats sail on the sound and Seattle’s lakes, spreading holiday cheer with carolers and a stunning light show. Additionally, you can catch a performance of “The Nutcracker” at the Pacific Northwest Ballet or attend a holiday concert at one of Seattle’s many renowned music venues. Another great holiday offering in Seattle is The Pike Place Market. The market is a year-round attraction in Seattle, but it takes on a special charm during the holiday season. The market is adorned with festive decorations, including a giant Christmas tree, and vendors offer a delightful array of holiday treats, handcrafted gifts, and seasonal foods. From sipping on hot apple cider to picking out unique handmade ornaments, Pike Place Market provides the perfect backdrop for getting into the holiday spirit.
While exploring the city’s vibrant streets and charming neighborhoods is a delightful experience in itself, there’s an even more magical way to immerse yourself in the holiday spirit – from the water. Experience the holiday’s on a boat, gently gliding through the serene waters of Seattle, surrounded by the glittering lights of the city’s skyline and the warm glow of holiday decorations. The Seattle skyline is iconic, and it becomes even more mesmerizing during the holidays when skyscrapers and landmarks are adorned with colorful lights and festive decorations.
