Christmas Boat Parade (Canceled NOV 18th) **New Holiday Lights Cruises Added On Parade Nights

Unfortunately this year's formal Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade Of Lights has been canceled due to concerns regarding COVID and public viewing from shore.  The Ring Of Lights competition is however still on as part of the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade festivities and has all of the bayfront estates going all out in amazing holiday light displays and Christmas decor competing for awards in several categories.  

Holiday lights cruises will be offered each night to cruise through the Bay to view these amazing displays.  Cruise times vary between 4:30pm - 9pm to aid in spacing cruises apart to assist in social distancing. Each holiday lights 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 for these sell out cruises.

Due to COVID-19 our vessel capacities have been lowered by almost 50% to aid in social distancing. Therefore, a supplemental charge of $5 per person will apply at time of booking for cruises departure time between 5:00pm and 8:30pm.
