For
those that want to celebrate the coming season with a festive, city
lights-inspired bay tour, Red and White Fleet has packaged up San
Francisco’s only “Holiday Twilight Cruise,” available through
December 31, 2012, including the Christmas Eve/Christmas and New
Year’s Eve/New
Year’s Day holidays.
On
this casual two-hour cruise, passengers will enjoy views of the
city’s spectacular nightscape, live guitar entertainment, light
appetizers from the buffet and
a hot or cold beverage from the bar. Nestled into the warm and cozy
atmosphere of Red and White Fleet’s historic ferry boats, the
cruise will pass along the dramatically lit skyline of San Francisco
with its modern skyscrapers and historic landmarks, pass the infamous
island of Alcatraz and cruise under the impressive San
Francisco Bay Bridge and the legendary Golden
Gate Bridge.
The buffet includes
a variety of appetizers, such as sandwiches, salads, fruit and
dessert. To keep guests warm and comfortable on those starry winter
nights, Red and White Fleet’s vessels feature heated indoor spaces
with large viewing windows and upholstered seating as well
as outdoor viewing
decks. A full cash bar
with drinks and
snacks is available as well.
Advance
bookings are recommended as this event will sell out on some
evenings. A full bar with drinks, snacks and merchandise
(including logo wear) are available onboard.

are $58 for adults (18+) and $40 for youth (ages 5-17). Children
under five are free. Departures are on Thursdays, Fridays and
