Check-in and boarding schedule

• Check-in begins: 9:00 PM at Pier 40 (near Frankie’s Java House, by Oracle Park)
• VIP priority boarding: 9:20 PM
• General boarding: 9:30 PM
• Cruise: 9:45 PM to 12:45 AM

The boarding location is Pier 40, not Pier 39

Check-in and boarding take place at Pier 40, 8 The Embarcadero, at the foot of Townsend Street near Oracle Park. Frankie’s Java House is the landmark to look for. Pier 40 sits in South Beach Harbor, a long way from Pier 39 at Fisherman’s Wharf, and guests who go to the wrong pier will miss the boat.

Parking near Pier 40 is limited on New Year’s Eve

Visitor parking at South Beach Harbor is limited. One of the largest public lots in the area is at Brannan Street and The Embarcadero. South Beach Harbor visitors can park for up to one hour only in designated spaces in the small visitor lot on Pier 40 at Townsend and The Embarcadero, subject to availability.

Metered street parking exists but fills quickly, and some lots and garages close before midnight. Check hours before you go. Luxe Cruises & SF Events is not responsible for metered lots.

For more options, visit Parkopedia.com. A rideshare drop-off at Pier 40 lets you skip parking entirely.

The dress code is upscale cocktail attire

This is an upscale event with dressy or cocktail attire required. Flapper attire is encouraged but not required, and most guests do dress for the theme. Men will not be admitted in ball caps, plain t-shirts, hi-tops, or tennis shoes.

Guests who do not meet the dress code can be denied boarding with no refund. If you want ideas, read our guide on what to wear to a New Year’s Eve cruise.

This is a party cruise, not a dinner cruise

Dinner is not served aboard the Speakeasy cruise. Plan to eat beforehand at one of the many restaurants in the SOMA district within walking distance of Pier 40. A dessert bar is included on board.

If you want a full sit-down meal with your fireworks, book the San Francisco New Year’s Eve fireworks dinner cruise aboard the Cabernet Sauvignon instead.
