Glide through the Coronado Cays on a festive Holiday Gondola Cruise

Step Aboard a Decorated Gondola

Step aboard a beautifully decorated gondola with a festively dressed gondolier and soft holiday music. Then glide through the tranquil waterways of the Coronado Cays, with seasonal décor and picturesque waterfront views along the way.

Settle in, take a deep breath, and let the gentle pace melt away the holiday rush. It’s a peaceful, cozy escape, and you might just find yourself wishing the 50 minutes would last a little longer.

Sip, Snack, and Stay Cozy on Board

Festive holiday-themed wine glasses and mugs are provided, and you can buy wine, water, or sparkling cider on board or bring your own drinks with complimentary corkage. Hot cocoa and eggnog make cozy picks, too.

To make the cruise even sweeter, you can add festive treats like gingerbread people and a See’s Candy holiday box. On cooler evenings, you can also buy a cozy holiday blanket to stay warm, so you can snuggle up and enjoy a festive night on the water.
