Private Cruises are perfect for holiday gatherings!

With over 100 companies/groups served during Newport Harbor Christmas Boat Parade last year Newport Landing knows what makes a holiday event a success. Our goal is to make your holiday event a huge success and provide a unique festive experience that will carry on long past the event concludes. Whether a company Christmas party or after party event, Newport Landing offers private cruises that can fit all size groups and budgets. With cruises throughout the month of December, customized times and cruise lengths are an option. Need Catering?

During the 5 night parade, Newport Landing offers either a single private charter package for the entire night of the parade or one of three nightly packages that allows your group to participate in Newport Harbor's Christmas Boat Parade. Post parade cruises during the nights of the parade are also available upon request (please contact us for more details). Private cruises include one of our 5 ships, a captain, and attendants. The attendants are there to cater to your needs whether it is assistance in setting up for your cruise or providing beverages to your guests. Catering options are available from hors d'oeuvres to full banquet settings. See our links for recommended catering options or contact us.
