Beginning May 11, Midday Cruises Offer Entertainment and
Three-Course Meals for Every Palate and Budget
SEATTLE, Wash.—(May 5, 2011)— Between May 11 and October 26, seniors are invited to venture forth and explore the sights in and around Seattle aboard relaxing and entertaining tours with Waterways Cruises.
Waterways Cruises, the area’s premier dining cruise company, has scheduled 18 cruises with a total of 10 themes, offered in a range of prices. While each provides a different experience, all but one include a plated, three-course, savory lunch. Every cruise will be enlivened by witty, insightful narration, courtesy of a Waterways’ experienced captain.
“These cruises are a terrific way for out-of-town visitors and our senior guests in particular to experience Seattle on the water, and take in the lovely daytime views of our area. Whether that involves a salmon bake, a casino visit or afternoon tea and a trip through the Locks, the choice is up to them,” says Hilton Smith, Founder and Owner of Waterways Cruises.

Originally starting with a single yacht for private charters, Waterways successfully expanded its operations to three luxurious vessels (Emerald Star, Olympic Star, and Destiny), accommodating upwards of 30,000 guests per year in the last 16 years.
