Long Beach is a beautiful destination for any celebration—especially a Sweet Sixteen. Practically guaranteeing fun under the sun due to its stunning weather, this city and the surrounding Los Angeles area are a shining example of exquisite surroundings that put everyone in a good mood. While Long Beach has plenty of event spaces, outdoor activities, restaurants, arts, and culture to enjoy, the best way to take advantage of it all is to make Southern California’s spectacular scenery part of the experience. That’s where City Cruises comes in! Combining exceptional views of the landscape with first-rate amenities and hospitality means the occasion will be an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience. Luxurious vessels, chef-prepared menus, and more are all in store when you come aboard for a birthday bash.

Daytime Birthday Plans that Impress
Under blue skies, everything seems more vibrant, and events are no exception—especially when you’re celebrating on the water. With City Cruises, two fun experiences make the most of any occasion, including a Sweet Sixteen, because the offerings are too good to pass up. First is the Long Beach Premier Brunch Cruise. Over the course of 2 hours, guests will indulge in an enticing chef-prepared brunch buffet and creative mocktails (as well as unlimited mimosas, cocktails, wine, and beer from the fully stocked cash bar for those 21 and over). There’s also live entertainment to set the scene sonically while Long Beach views captivate the eyes and soul. As a casual affair, everyone onboard will enjoy a sensational day on Rainbow Harbor, where awe-inspiring sights, including the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Lion Lighthouse, and the Queen Mary, are in full view. Exceptional service and hospitality are also “on deck” to ensure the event is unlike any guests have experienced.
When it comes to thrilling experiences, it’s hard to top City Cruises’ San Diego Whale & Dolphin Watching Adventure. If you’re willing to make the trip from the LA area, getting an up-close view of nature in the wild is an unforgettable way to spend any day—let alone your Sweet Sixteen. During the 3.5-hour journey in the winter (4 hours in summer), guests will enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime experience of a whale-watching cruise on the San Diego Bay. With onboard educational narration provided by expert captains and volunteer naturalists from the San Diego Natural History Museum, a wealth of information will be gleaned about these gorgeous creatures as everyone takes in stunning views of dolphins, marine birds, sea lions, and whales (Minke, Fin, and more). The search for gray whales is done in the wintertime, while blue whales are a focus in summer. Food, beverages, and cocktail service (for those 21 plus) are available for purchase. Casual sightseeing attire is suggested. With iconic bay wildlife and landmarks all part of the package, this is one cruise where you’ll want to keep your camera ready to snap pics and plenty of video for social sharing and Instagram envy.
The Ultimate Sweet Sixteen Birthday Dinner

Breathtaking scenic views of Long Beach, the surrounding area, beautiful beaches, and sprawling mansions are all part of the package, which you can take in from the comfort of our yachts with climate-controlled interiors and open-air exterior decks.
