Argosy Cruises Christmas Ship Festival is a ship-to-shore holiday celebration that has been a Northwest tradition since 1949. 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.
On this day, the Christmas Ship will be at ASUW Shell House at 5:35 - 5:55 PM with the Prime Time Quartet Choir performing the Christmas carols. We will paddle from Sunnyside Ave Boat Ramp to ASUW Shell House and enjoy the music performed by the choir. Dress warm, bring headlamp, warm drink and feel free to decorate your kayak with Christmas lights and other Christmas decorations.
Winds of 10+ knots and or waves of 2' will cancel this event.
Meet at Sunnyside Ave boat ramp at 3:45 PM
