SEATTLE, Wash.—(August 19, 2011)— A relaxing lake cruise aboard Waterways Cruises (http://www.waterwayscruises.com) is the perfect way to see Seattle’s wonderful sights.

The newest Waterways’ cruise was designed with sightseeing in mind. Featuring the highlights of Lake Union and Lake Washington, the Two Lakes Cruise Tour (http://www.waterwayscruises.com/pages/public_cruises/cruise_tours/lakes_cruise_tours/ ) offers views of the iconic Space Needle, downtown skyline, floating homes on Lake Union and the University of Washington’s Husky Stadium.

Lake Washington attractions include Bill Gates’s legendary home and other grand waterfront mansions, as well as picture-postcard views of Mt. Rainier. Snacks are available for purchase. During every tour, Waterways’ captain educates and entertains guests by pointing out sites and providing facts about Seattle’s culture and rich maritime history.

Waterways Cruises also offers a variety of dining cruises to fit different schedules and budgets. For a romantic evening, the two-and-a-half-hour Sunset Dinner Cruise (http://www.waterwayscruises.com/pages/public_cruises/dining_cruises/dinner_cruises/) tenders a four-course, Northwest-inspired gourmet meal with optional cocktails and paired wine.

The best Weekend Brunch Cruise in Seattle (http://www.waterwayscruises.com/pages/public_cruises/dining_cruises/brunch_cruises/) offers an array of mouthwatering buffet selections, accompanied by Lake Washington views and the captain’s witty narration.

With its youthful, end-of-the-week vibe, the Friday afternoon Happy Hour Cruise(http://www.waterwayscruises.com/pages/public_cruises/dining_cruises/cocktail_cruises/) lets guests enjoy a lavish Chef’s Taco Bar while taking in all the sights.

Says Hilton Smith, founder and owner of Waterways Cruises, “Whether you’re a first-time tourist or a local looking for ways to entertain visiting family or friends, there’s really no better way to experience Seattle than on the water. We invite people of all ages not only to relax and view the sights in comfort, but to enjoy excellent food, outstanding service and the informative storytelling of our ships’ captains. Each cruise is an unforgettable trip.”

Waterways Cruises was founded in 1994 by Hilton Smith and grew from a small family operation into Seattle’s most upscale cruise and event company.  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 40,000 guests per year for weddings, corporate events, special celebrations and dining cruises.

In 2010 Waterways Cruises launched Lake Washington Dining Cruises, departing from the Southport Pier & Promenade in Renton and from the Waterways’ HomePort in Seattle.  Featuring seasonal menus, scenic cruise routes and exciting entertainment options, Lake Washington Dining Cruises brings fine dining experience and sightseeing opportunities to Lake Union and Lake Washington.
