4th of July Fireworks Cruise on San Diego Bay

Celebrate 250 Years of the United States on San Diego Bay

Experience a one-of-a-kind 4th of July holiday when you join us for a spectator cruise during the annual Big Bay Boom celebration, the largest Independence Day fireworks show in Southern California, with over half a million people viewing from across the city.

Your evening begins with a brief narrated motor coach tour exploring downtown and the city's ever-growing waterfront development. Next, stop at Seaport Village for dinner on your own and the chance to stroll the boardwalk; or, for an additional $32 per person, skip the crowds and join your Tour Manager for an all-inclusive family-style Italian dinner at the popular Buca di Beppo Restaurant in San Diego's vibrant Gaslamp District.

Then, as the sun sets, you’ll board the Flagship Cruises Marietta for a leisurely cruise on beautiful San Diego Bay. Surrounded by spectacular views, luxury comforts and a relaxing breeze, Flagship puts you at the center of it all. Line the railings on the top deck or remain comfortably inside and be dazzled by multiple pyrotechnic displays launched from four nearby barges in a synchronized kaleidoscope of brilliant colors and patterns. Witness some of the most technically advanced fireworks produced by one of the best worldwide operators of fireworks displays. You won't want to miss the chance to celebrate America's 250th birthday from such a unique perspective!

Considerable walking and potential difficulties may be experienced for some when navigating significant crowds at Seaport Village, on the Boardwalk, and aboard the vessel. The main deck of the ship is ADA accessible; however, access to the upper deck(s) and restrooms on the vessel requires ascending or descending relatively steep stairs.
