Waterways Cruises, Seattle

Lush tree-lined shores, sprawling lakeside estates, the snowy peak of Mount Rainier, and the towering buildings of downtown Seattle unfold before guests on Waterways Cruises' dining cruises. Having grown from its founding as a small family operation Waterways Cruises and Events now operates with a fleet of four elegantly appointed yachts, each of which features a full dining salon and observation decks for drinking in the scenery. Perhaps the most popular outings are the dining cruises that drift on a scenic route through Lake Washington, Lake Union, and the Ship Canal from early afternoon through the evening. During these cruises, the captain offers tidbits of local history while chefs prepare spreads of authentic Northwest cuisine. Guests may also enjoy cocktails from the full-service bar.
