The Argosy Cruises Christmas Ship™ Festival is a ship-to-shore holiday celebration that has been a Northwest tradition since 1949. The Spirit of Seattle, the official Christmas Ship™, is decorated with hundreds of lights and sails to different Puget Sound waterfront communities. Choirs aboard the Christmas Ship™ perform to guests, follow boats, and spectators gathered onshore.

Join the Christmas Ship™ Festival on a fully-decorated private charter and follow the Spirit of Seattle as she travels and performs to waterfront communities.

Charter packages start at $5,000. For discounted group tickets on our public sightseeing cruises, please visit Group Tickets. 

To request a quote, select your preferred date via the Event Calendar and submit a Private Charter Inquiry Request. Our team needs 2-3 weeks to contract, schedule, and staff accordingly. Please plan ahead when selecting a date.
