Average Socialite is working hard to maintain accurate & up-to-date information. During these unusual times, please confirm openings with each venue.
Deets: Holiday lights cruises take place throughout the month of December with three cruises nightly. Departure times vary between 4:30pm - 9pm. Due to Covid-19 they will be spacing many of our cruise times apart to assist in social distancing. Each holiday cruise is roughly 75 minutes in length. Newport Harbor in full holiday décor is not to disappoint. Holiday cruises offer 85% of what the parade offers without the huge numbers of people and parking challenges. I can’t think of a more relaxing evening than under the stars cruising Newport Bay with all of the holiday décor. Weekends are more popular for holiday cruise times and reservations are mandatory.
