Hot Nordic Nights: A Tiki Cruise

Get ready to set sail for a tropical night with a Nordic twist! Join us on Wednesday, August 26, as we depart from Fishermen's Terminal for a 7–9 PM cruise filled with great music, cocktails, costumes, and the ultimate Scandinavian soundtrack.

We'll be cruising around Lake Union on a beautiful late-summer evening. Grab a drink, soak in the views, sing along to your favorite songs, and enjoy the best of summer from the water.

We'll be celebrating Sweden's incredible pop legacy—from ABBA, Ace of Base, Roxette, and Robyn to chart-topping hits crafted by legendary Swedish hitmakers like Max Martin. If you've ever danced to Britney Spears, Bon Jovi, Madonna, Adele, the Backstreet Boys, or Taylor Swift, you've already been enjoying the magic of Swedish pop. You never know what favorite is coming up next!

This is a party on the water, so come ready for a soundtrack that turns up, plenty of singing along, and a boat full of summer energy. It’s the perfect night to dance, celebrate, and embrace the music—this isn’t a quiet sightseeing cruise!

Dressing up is highly encouraged! Think tiki shirts with Nordic flair, tropical glam, flower leis, Swedish summer vibes, or your best disco-meets-tiki-meets-Scandinavian style. Channel a little ABBA sparkle, a little Mamma Mia magic, or your own summer pop-star moment. The more fabulous, the better.

Rain or shine, we sail—because in true Nordic spirit: it's not the weather, it's the gear.

This 21+ cruise combines tropical fun, Scandinavian spirit, and a memorable evening on the water. A special Nordic-inspired tiki cocktail menu, along with beer, wine, cider, seltzer, nonalcoholic beverages, and snacks, will be available for purchase on board (not included in the ticket price). No outside food or drinks, please.

Tickets are limited. Grab yours today and join us for a summer evening of Swedish pop, golden-hour views around Lake Union, creative cocktails, and Hot Nordic fun!
