From ABBA with Love!

We’re bringing the disco back to Lake Union as our tiki boat sets sail from Fishermen’s Terminal at 6 PM. For two fabulous hours, we’ll tiki-tiki-tiki our way across the water with tropical drinks, sparkly vibes, and an ABBA playlist strong enough to thaw even the chilliest Scandinavian winter.

It’s rain or shine, because in true Nordic spirit: it’s not the weather, it’s the gear. This cruise is all about feel-good music, fun on the water, and escaping winter with a little island flair.
Come for the tiki. Stay for the ABBA!

Departing from Fishermen’s Terminal (Magnolia) at 6 PM sharp, this 21+ cruise brings an ABBA-so-lutely festive vibe with a pun-packed playlist, tropical flair, and plenty of cheer. Dress fabulously, dress warmly, and feel free to channel “ABBA on a Hawaiian vacation.”

Special ABBA-themed cocktails—along with beer, wine, cider, seltzer, soft drinks, water, and snacks—will be available for purchase on board (not included in ticket price). No outside food or drinks are allowed. Tickets are limited, so grab yours today!

Huge shoutout to Emerald City Cruises for helping us bring this festive cruise to life!

• The boat is about 75% covered from the weather (walls included), but please dress for all conditions.
• Our playlist is loud and lively—perfect for dancing and singing along on deck. Earbuds optional (bring your own), good vibes required!
• Departure Time: The boat leaves promptly at 6 PM. Please arrive on the dock at least 15 minutes prior to boarding.
• Pickup & Parking: Our pickup location is Fishermen’s Terminal. Please park in areas designated for more than 2 hours and proceed to Dock 9. The ship may not be immediately at the dock if it is returning from another cruise, don't worry they will be there!
• Safety & Certification: The boat is Coast Guard certified, fully insured to industry standards, and features an enclosed marine toilet (bathroom). Crew members are fully licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard.
• ID & Age Requirement: This is a 21+ cruise. Valid ID must be presented upon boarding. Failure to provide ID will result in refusal of boarding with no refund.

• Cancellation: This is a boat event, and sometimes Mother Nature has other plans. In December, we had to reschedule our Very ABBA Xmas Tiki Cruise due to gale force winds and a Small Craft Advisory. Safety always comes first, and if conditions on the water aren’t safe and we need to cancel the cruise, we’ll email ticket holders as soon as possible (so please be sure to check the email tied to your ticket). If a cancellation is necessary due to weather, a full refund will be offered. We always hope for smooth sailing, but if the weather says “no,” we promise to keep you informed.
