SENIOR TRIPS (Ages 55+)

Fleet Week Aboard the S.F. Belle

The Belle is a San Francisco landmark that evokes the city’s turn-of-the-century Barbary Coast energy. The 292-foot sternwheeler features Art Nouveau style on all three enclosed levels, plus a spacious sun deck and three full wrap-around decks. There is no better vantage point to see the Fleet Week Air Show than from directly under the planes—sailing on the iconic S.F. Belle. Indulge in a hosted buffet lunch, as you sip on free-flowing champagne and enjoy background music from the on-board D.J. Then step onto one of the outer decks to relax in the sunshine and watch the jaw-dropping precision of the famous San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show Pilots: The Blue Angels! Transportation will be either via Town Van or Chartered Bus pending registration numbers.
