After that, you'll get on board a decorated, heated vintage boat for a 40-minute ride around the lake. The highlight is a visit to Santa's Hideaway, where he will greet you from the shore next to a dazzling light display and read out your child's name on his "nice" list, says the cruise website. Once aboard, you’re in a fully enclosed cabin to keep everyone cozy. There are spaces to step outside and get a closer look at the lights as well. On the cruise, you’ll take a 40-minute boat ride to Santa’s Secret Hideaway. Along the way, you’ll find dazzling light displays that tell the story of Santa and your journey to see him.

The highlight though was when we finally reached Santa’s hideout. Bundle up and make sure to head out to the deck to see and hear him better. While the boat is heated and indoors, you’ll still want everyone dressed warmly. You’ll be going in and out from the Christmas Tree Barn, down the pier, and at the marina which can be chilly. There are also outdoor areas on the boat for you to sit and take in the lights.

Once the boat reaches the hideaway, Santa is elevated on a stage that’s lit up for everyone on the boat to see. Listen carefully as Santa reads the names of all the children on the nice list. Parents enter the names of each child ahead of time when making the reservation. This lake cruise is a fun way to see holiday lights, visit Santa, and experience a family Christmas outing on the beautiful Lake Geneva. From how to buy tickets to what to wear, we’ve rounded up everything you need to know about the Santa Cruise Lake Geneva. All this is before the boat stops right outside Santa’s hideaway, where he’ll come out, wave at the passengers on the boat and call out each of the child passengers’ names.

Visiting the Santa Cruise is indeed a great way to spread holiday cheer. The tree festival is a fundraiser conducted by Santa Cause, which supports various charities and organizations. The Santa Cruise includes several lighted displays along the shoreline of Geneva Lake that attendees can view during their ride.
For an hour, a day or a dinner.
The Santa Cruise, that delivers holiday fun for all ages, starts the day after Thanksgiving and runs through December 30. On board the Santa Cruise, passengers see lighted holiday displays and watch as Santa emerges from his hideaway. During late November and December, we relocate to our winter harbor in Williams Bay. We celebrate the holiday season with families aboard our Santa Cruise, as we travel to Santa’s Hideaway seeing the festive light displays along the shoreline. From May to October, you can find us at the Riviera Docks in Lake Geneva. Daily narrated boat tours are available, and you can purchase tickets from our ticket boat on the docks or online at cruiselakegeneva.com.
We appreciate knowing ahead if you have special needs so that we can make accommodations. A lighted scene along Geneva Lake depicts Santa waving “hi” and wishing spectators a happy holiday. Our fleet consists of eight classic boats from different historical eras, providing locals and visitors with a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of Lake Geneva.
