New Year's Eve Dinner Cruise on San Francisco Bay

Kick off the New Year’s Eve celebration with a welcome glass of Champagne aboard your cruise boat at San Francisco’s Pier 3. Mingle with friends, family and your fellow party-goers as you drift away from the dock and out along the city’s glittering waterfront.

As you cruise around San Francisco Bay, admire iconic San Francisco landmarks including Alcatraz Island, Coit Tower, the Transamerica Pyramid, the Bay Bridge, the Palace of Fine Arts and the Golden Gate Bridge, all beautifully illuminated at night. Enjoy festive party favors and DJ entertainment all night long.

Buffet Dinner Option Follow your glass of house Champagne with more bubbly or cocktails, beer or wine from the open bar. For dinner, you’ll be presented with a lovely buffet spread (see sample menu below) that offers a casual dining experience perfect for families and minglers. This cruise takes place on the San Francisco Belle, a 292-foot (89-meter), triple-decker Hornblower sternwheeler that holds up to 1,500 passengers and features a rooftop deck for optimal viewing.

Seated 4-Course Dinner Option For a more formal experience, choose the seated dinner option. Follow your Gloria Ferrer Champagne aperitif with unlimited beer, wine, bubbly and cocktails from the premium open bar, then sit down to a gourmet 4-course meal (see sample menu below). This cruise takes place on Hornblower’s flagship fleet, the California, a luxury 183-foot (56-meter) yacht with elegant dining rooms, roomy salons with brass and mahogany finishings, expansive promenade decks and a rooftop viewing area.

Upbeat music sets the mood for a fun, festive New Year’s Eve celebration. As the drinks flow and the excitement builds, hit the dance floor or the outdoor decks for a stellar panorama of San Francisco Bay. When the countdown to midnight begins, head outside to watch a New Year’s fireworks display over the city!

Continue celebrating with music, drinks and dancing until around 1am. Your party wraps up back at Pier 3.
