Vancouver Carol Ship Parade of Lights
December is the perfect time of year to make new memories with family and friends. It’s a time for giving thanks, sharing some laughs, and maybe even treating ourselves to a few extra goodies to combat the winter doldrums. There’s always the ever handy New Year’s Eve Resolution to make up for any over indulgences.
It must have been a pretty dark month, until, one day, over 40 years ago, one little brightly lit boat illuminated the night. From that humble beginning, the Parade of Lights has grown to include over 50 boats with thousands of spectators enjoying the sparkling nights from December 3 to December 23rd.
During this time, we will be running our Carol Ship Cruises here from Granville Island-another great spot to get your holiday shopping done and maybe even enjoy some roasted chestnuts while checking out some of the great buskers performing on the Island. Why not end your day relaxing on one of our Carol Ship Cruises with family and friends?
Our Carol Ship Cruises include a Holiday Buffet with all the trimmings, including Tender Roasted Turkey and Honey Glazed Ham, so, no need to make dinner after your day of shopping. Our cruises are fun and interactive, so don’t be surprised if one of our cheeky Cruise Directors gets you to join in on the Carol Sing Along!
From all of us at Accent Cruises-we wish you all the best during the Holiday Season and hope you’ll join us in December!
Warm up your fall nights with this Toasty Recipe
The changing colors and cool crispness of the fall season are upon us. Time for hot toddies, cozy socks, and quiet intimate evenings spent with friends and family. A staff member of ours shared this delicious recipe with me, that I’d like to pass on to you. Bread pudding is one of my favorite treats, having had my first taste of it in New Orleans. I was instantly hooked to its comforting simplicity. Originally known as “poor man’s pudding” and created as a delicious way to recycle old bread, I love this recipe for its down to earth goodness. Somehow, it seems like the perfect Autumn dessert. I plan on making it this weekend.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Accent Cruises!

5 Tips to Plan the Perfect Accent Party
Accent Cruises has successfully executed hundreds of corporate functions, weddings, and private family gatherings, throughout our over 22 years in business. Planning an event can be stressful for the organizer. Here some simple tips to ensure that your event planning with us is smooth and stress free.
Decide on your budget
We are dedicated to providing you with a quote for your event that will suit your needs, so be sure to clear about what kind of budget you have to work with. For example, if you know that you have $50 a person for a dinner and 2 glasses of wine; let us know, so we can select a menu for your group that fits in your price range. This simple step will ensure you get an accurate, custom quote perfect for your pocketbook.
Have some fun
When planning a party consider if you want to leave room in your budget for some decorations. Whether you have $50 to spend or $1500, even small touches can have a big impact. Helium balloons added to the entrance can give a welcoming festive touch, and at about $1.50 each at most dollar stores, are an inexpensive addition. Small bubble rocks or even shells at your local dollar store laid out along your tables can also provide extra ambience. Small gift boxes with a piece of chocolate inside placed at each setting, look and taste great. If you have a bit more to spend, ask us about renting chair covers , sashes, votives, even red carpet runners if you’re looking for that “Hollywood Red Carpet” feel. Again, let us know the budget you have for decorations and the theme you’re going for, and our creative team will be happy to steer you in the right direction.
Visit the venue
It’s a good idea to set up a time to view the yacht you are interested in. This will give you the best sense of spacing. It’s also a great time to meet with one of our sales and event coordinators who can answer any questions you might have. We love to meet with our guests.
Plan your menu
I once attended an event where a hapless guest with a peanut allergy was served brownies. Needless to say, he did not enjoy the evening. Now, this is an extreme example, but it is a good idea to email all your guests and ask them to inform you, the organizer extraordinaire, of any food allergies or special dietary restrictions. Then be sure to pass that information to us, so that we can ensure your guests have a wonderful, stress free dining experience, knowing their needs have been taken into consideration.
