Christmas on the Waves | Annual Xmas Boat Cruise

🎄 Celebrate Christmas on the Water in Vancouver

Christmas in Vancouver hits different when the city lights are glowing, the waterfront is sparkling, and you’re sailing through the night with music, drinks, festive outfits, and your favourite people around you.

This December, skip the usual holiday dinner, packed bar, or basic Christmas gathering and step aboard Christmas on the Waves | Annual Xmas Boat Cruise 2026 — a festive holiday cruise through False Creek, English Bay, and the Inner Harbour aboard the Burrard Queen.

From the moment you board, the night starts to feel like Christmas. The boat fills with holiday energy, the music begins, drinks start flowing, friends gather for photos, and Vancouver’s winter skyline becomes the backdrop for the entire celebration.

This is not just another Christmas party.

This is Christmas on the water — with city lights, rooftop views, festive vibes, dancing, music, and memories that feel completely different from a regular night out.

Whether you’re planning a Christmas night out with friends, a company holiday celebration, a festive date night, or a group gathering, this cruise gives you the full holiday atmosphere — without being stuck inside another regular venue.
