Jingle Belle Family Cruise Partners with Mama’s Kitchen
Gather with friends and family and make merry this holiday season aboard the Jingle Belle Family Cruise scheduled for Thursday, December 21 through Monday, December 25, for a San Diego tradition on the sparkling waters of Mission Bay. A memorable way to “Fa la la” this winter, guests can enjoy the majestic setting of the William D. Evans, an elegant 19th-century-style sternwheeler decked in holiday lights and décor and explore a jolly mix of activities for guests of all ages. In the spirit of the season, a portion of the proceeds from Jingle Belle cruises will benefit Mama’s Kitchen, a San Diego nonprofit that provides medically tailored meals to individuals and families at risk of malnutrition due to critical illnesses, including HIV, cancer, congestive heart failure, type 2 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.
“We’re honored to be partnering with such a revered San Diego nonprofit organization,” said Robert Gleason, president and CEO of Evans Hotels. “Giving back to the community is at the core of our WE CARE corporate social responsibility program, and we hope to nourish and brighten the lives of many San Diegans in need this holiday season through our donation to Mama’s Kitchen.”
The Jingle Belle Cruise is a festive, one-hour family friendly voyage that celebrates the most wonderful time of year with joyous songs from carolers strolling throughout the ship, a meet and greet and photos with Santa Claus, and exciting interactive activities for the whole family. Kids can enjoy a cookie decorating station, balloon artist, and face painter. There will also be tasty holiday treats and libations including hot cocoa with toppings and an espresso coffee bar.
Jingle Belle Cruise departs from the Bahia Resort Hotel on December 21 and 23 at 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., and from the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa on December 22 and 24 at 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Jingle Belle Cruise will spread holiday cheer all day long on Christmas Day, December 25, with various departure times between 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. from both resorts. As a special treat for dining guests at the Bahia and Catamaran, the Christmas Day cruise is included with the purchase of Christmas Day Brunch at Oceana Coastal Kitchen and Dockside 1953.
