October 25, 2010 by Leave a Comment
The 2010 schedule is out for the Argosy Christmas Ships. They will cruise to West Seattle on December 11, 2010 featuring The Dickens Carolers. Departing Pier 55 at 8:00 p.m., they are scheduled to arrive at Lowman Beach from 8:50 – 9:10 p.m. The ships will then head to Alki Beach from 9:40 – 10:00 p.m.
The Christmas Ship is sold out for December 11, 2010 however tickets are still available (at the writing of this post) for a Follow Boat, or you can join the flotilla with your own boat. Of course you can also join neighbors and friends at Lowman and Alki where there's sure to be bon fires and holiday festivities or even enjoy the merriment from your home.
Here are some photos from a couple years ago.
Can you believe that Christmas is just two months away? Happy Holidays!
