Celebrate the magic of the season on one of Southern California’s most beloved holiday outings, showcasing three enchanting destinations in and around coastal Newport Beach! First, enjoy time at leisure exploring Roger’s Gardens in Corona del Mar. Widely recognized as “America’s Most Beautiful Home and Garden Center,” this legendary coastal haven is far more than a nursery—it is a dazzling seasonal destination. Every corner of its lush grounds, curated boutique gallery, and open-air courtyards is completely transformed with designer-crafted holiday displays, artisan ornaments, twinkling lights, and an awe-inspiring forest of uniquely themed Christmas trees brimming with creative inspiration. Next, we’ll make our way across the bay to Balboa Peninsula for an included early three-course dinner (approximately 3:30 p.m.) at the Harborside Restaurant, providing panoramic harbor views and classic waterfront ambiance as you enjoy your choice of delicious entrée and decadent dessert. The evening culminates with the main event: the 118th annual Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade, renowned as one of the largest and most historic decorated boat parades in the nation! We’ll board our harbor vessel—featuring comfortable indoor covered seating as well as open-air observation decks—to experience this seaside spectacle right from the water. As we glide along Newport Bay, you'll have front-row views of multi-million-dollar waterfront estates dripping in elaborate light displays, alongside a procession of hundreds of brilliantly illuminated yachts, schooners, vintage vessels, and small watercraft competing for prestigious parade honors. It’s an unforgettable coastal tradition that captures the holiday spirit like nowhere else!
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
