December 31, 2023 -- CATALINA ISLAND
Start your day with a buffet breakfast before heading off Catalina Island. You’ll board one of the Catalina Express ferries for a short one-hour cruise to the island. Once you arrive, the day is yours to get acquainted with the storybook town of Avalon, which you’ll find is packed with boutiques, restaurants, and things to do! You might want to take a tour of the historic Casino, take a guided tour of Avalon, or rent a golf cart or bicycle to sightsee on your own this afternoon.

The evening is filled with elegant dining, dancing, and the fun of a live “Monte Carlo” style casino. There will be hats and party favors, a drawing for exciting prizes and a champagne toast to ring in 2024! (BREAKFAST AND DINNER)
