Description:

Enjoy expertly prepared dishes, get your photo taken with Santa, and watch the festive lights of the downtown skyline pass wide windows next to your table. Spend Christmas dinner on a spacious and comfortable ship, listening to holiday tunes and savoring a delectable buffet.

Head to the Grape Street Pier on the north side of San Diego Bay, where you can board your ship to the festive greetings of Santa Claus. Grab a picture with Old St. Nick and then make your way to your table, being sure to take a flute of champagne with you. Sip your bubbly while the attentive crew puts the final touches on the mouthwatering buffet.

When it’s ready, grab a plate and peruse a spread of expertly prepared appetizers, refreshing salads, and traditional holiday dishes like roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, and fresh-baked rolls. Back at your table, chat with friends as a professional DJ provides Christmas-themed music to set the mood. A hot cup of coffee is ideal to enjoy after dinner, perhaps outside on the spacious viewing decks where you can snap photos of the twinkling skyline before you head back to the dock.
