night cruises

After-dark boat trips

Night cruises are boat excursions that take place after dark, typically for sightseeing, dining, or entertainment on the water.

Cities with illuminated skylines or harbors often promote them as tourist attractions: We took a night cruise around the bay to see the city lights.

The term also applies to casual late-night driving with no particular destination—cruising for its own sake: Summer night cruises down the boulevard.
