Enjoy a buffet dinner, standard open bar - including beer, wine and cocktails - while an onboard DJ plays your favorite holiday hits all night. There's no better place to enjoy Christmas Eve than with family or friends and a spectacular view of the most beautiful city in the world. Get your tickets today! Seats are limited.
