About this Event

Experience a one-of-a-kind 4th of July holiday when you join us for an observation cruise during the annual Big Bay Boom celebration, the largest Independence Day fireworks show in Southern California! Your evening begins with a brief narrated motor coach tour exploring downtown and the city's ever-growing waterfront development. Next, stop at Seaport Village for dinner on your own and the chance to stroll the boardwalk or, for an additional $32 per person, skip the crowds and join your tour manager for an all-inclusive family-style Italian dinner at the popular Buca di Beppo Restaurant in San Diego's vibrant Gaslamp District. Then, as the sun sets, you’ll board a Flagship Cruises vessel for a leisurely cruise on beautiful San Diego Bay. Line the railings on the top deck or remain comfortably inside and be dazzled by multiple pyrotechnic displays launched from four nearby barges in a synchronized kaleidoscope of brilliant colors and patterns. You won't want to miss the chance to experience these incredible fireworks from such a unique perspective!
