Description

See the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights from the water. On Sunday, December 13 and Sunday, December 20, 2026, the 56th annual parade returns with about 80 decorated boats lighting up the bay. Flagship puts you right along the route, away from the crowded shoreline, with two ways to watch.

Holiday Lights Spectator Cruise (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): A festive narrated harbor cruise along the parade route, with holiday music and décor on board. A snack bar offers wine, cocktails, local beer and light refreshments for purchase.

Holiday Parade of Lights Dinner Cruise (5:30 PM - 8:00 PM): A plated dinner with boarding champagne and live music, served indoors beside panoramic windows. Full bar service is available for purchase.

Both cruises offer climate-controlled indoor seating and open-air decks for photos. Flagship has been family-owned and operated on San Diego Bay for more than a century. With only two parade nights, reserve early.
