This inspiring event sets sail as independent boaters and charter operators graciously volunteer their vessels, crews, andtime to host guests of diverse abilities on a memorable holiday cruise.
Dozens of brightly lit boats sparkle with holiday cheer as they gather at docks and yacht clubs throughout the area. Guests are treated to joyful entertainment, festive gifts, sweet candy canes, and delightful visits from Santa Claus — and even a few jolly pirates!
Date: Sunday, December 7, 2025
Time: The cruise runs from approximately 3:00pm to 5:00pm and the buses will leave the shuttle locations approximately at 1:45pm. One we get closer to the event, there will be updated information regarding the bus times at this webpage.
Location: The cruise takes place on Lake Union and Lake Washington
Transportation: SEAFAIR has two shuttle locations in Snohomish County where guests can go to be bused to and from the docks.
Unfortunately, they cannot accommodate wheelchairs on the buses, so if there are individuals using wheelchairs in your group, you will need to provide your own transportation. For Mobility and Accessibility needs please contact Maureen Browning, [email protected], to register.
HOW TO REGISTER: Only one form per group is necessary. For example, if an Adult Family Home is registering a group of residents for the same bus loading location, then filling out one registration form is needed; however, one Hold Harmless form for each individual is required.
All registration must be complete no later than Thursday, November 20th. Learning to use the bus provides significant benefits for people with disabilities, including increased independence through reliable and flexible travel, enhanced self-confidence and life skills, and greater social and economic opportunities like attending school, working, and participating in community events.
