Waterways Cruises and Events Launches 2025 Summer Cruise Series

As the summer season approaches, Waterways Cruises and Events is excited to announce the return of its highly sought-after Unwind Cruise, alongside the debut of two fresh experiences: the Sip and Sunset Cruise and the Seattle Sightseeing Cruise. Each of these unique offerings will be hosted on the fully renovated Sightseer yacht, which promises to deliver an exceptional onboard experience for its guests.

A Closer Look at the Cruises

The Unwind Cruise and Sip and Sunset Cruise will operate from South Lake Union, providing guests with a casual, social atmosphere that showcases awe-inspiring skyline views, paired with light bites and a variety of beverages including fine wines, craft beers, and delightful cocktails. These cruises aim to create a relaxed ambiance perfect for friends and families to enjoy quality time together while taking in the stunning vistas of Seattle.

On the other hand, the Seattle Sightseeing Cruise will set sail from Fishermen's Terminal. This cruise is designed to offer an informative and entertaining narrated journey through the beautiful ship canal—highlighting the distinct history and beauty of Seattle's waterways. Guests will get to enjoy a brief but scenic tour of Lake Union, ultimately reaching the famed Ballard Locks.

Jeff Culton, chief operating officer at Waterways Cruises and Events, expressed enthusiasm about relaunching the Sightseer: “These cruises give guests a fun and easy way to enjoy summer in Seattle. We’re thrilled to present experiences that highlight the best our city has to offer—from iconic skyline sunsets to the unique history of our waterways.”

Lakeside: Expanding Offerings

In addition to the summer cruise series, Waterways has further broadened its service range with a new land-based event venue named Lakeside, located right on the scenic South Lake Union waterfront. This modern venue is perfect for hosting weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations, providing a flexible space that beautifully complements Waterways' on-water experiences. Lakeside enhances the overall offering by providing guests with a versatile setting in the heart of Seattle’s vibrant landscape.
