Great news, today is Christmas Day! Unfortunately, that means a sudden halt to all the holiday happenings is imminent, starting as early as tomorrow, in some instances. Fortunately, that isn’t the case with Watermark Journey. They’re continuing their Jolly Express Cruises up through New Year’s Day!
Annapolis, Maryland, boasts so many holiday highlights each year, but the Jolly Express Cruise is one of the area’s most highly hailed standout favorites with folks of all ages. The featured experience comes as a 45-minute “sleigh ride” excursion along the waters of Spa Creek, where you get to bask in all the surrounding scenic views during this most special time of year.
For this adventure, Watermark’s Miss Anne vessel, renowned for her impeccable comfort, coziness, and cocktail offerings, is transformed into a festive sleigh that any reindeer can appreciate. Hot cocoa, holiday music, and good cheer are all included in the package, along with complimentary blankets for staying warm for the evening. The best part of all is that Santa Claus himself is the one at the helm, leading folks through this most joyous ride.
If you haven’t had the chance to book your Jolly Express Cruise for the 2024 season, or you want another go at it before the season ends, sailing dates are still available from December 26 through January 1. The cost is $25 for adults and $13 for children 11 and under. Ticket costs cover the cruise and your first cup of hot cocoa. A portion of proceeds from these Jolly Express Cruises benefit Historic Annapolis.
Walk-up tickets are available but limited, so it is always best to book in advance. Follow the Jolly Express Cruise link to learn more and book your excursion today.
