2024 NEWPORT BAY HOLIDAY LIGHTS CRUISES (MULTIPLE CRUISE TIMES NIGHTLY. Dec 6th - Jan 1st)
Cruises take in the amazing light displays and holiday décor of bay front estates and landscapes competing in the “Ring Of Lights” competition. Millions of lights and elaborate decorations transform Newport Bay into a magical holiday experience. Holiday Lights Cruises tour the bay viewing these amazing displays along with many of the boat parade entrants also touring through Newport Bay. 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. Departure times vary between 4:30pm - 9pm. Each holiday lights cruise is roughly 75 minutes in length.
Note: Cruise times before 5 pm or after 9:30 pm on December 18 - 22 are Holiday Lights Cruises, not boat parade cruises.
**This is a sellout event. Reservations are a must.
