Argosy Cruises Christmas Ship Festival


The Argosy Cruises Christmas Ship Festival is a ship-to-shore holiday celebration that has been a Northwest tradition for over 70 years. The Spirit of Seattle, the Official Christmas Ship, is decorated with hundreds of shimmery white lights and sails to different Puget Sound waterfront communities. Choirs on board the Christmas Ship perform to guests aboard, to follow boats and to communities gathered on shore.
