2024 NEWPORT BAY HOLIDAY LIGHTS CRUISES (MULTIPLE CRUISE TIMES NIGHTLY. DEC 6 – JAN 1)

Holiday lights cruises take place throughout the month of December with three cruises nightly. Departure times are 5:30 pm, 7:00 pm, and 8:30 pm nightly. 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.

**Note $23 holiday lights cruise special is not valid for Dec 18 – Dec 22 for cruise times from 5pm – 9:30 pm each of those 5 nights.

**A supplemental charge of $7 per person applies for “all” cruise times from 5 pm-8:30 pm.

**This is a sellout event. Reservations are a must.
