This isn't just a cruise. It's a four-hour adventure that begins when you climb aboard the Argosy ship, climate-controlled for comfort with two cash bars. Soak up the beautiful coast scenery as the narrated sail takes you from Puget Sound to Blake Island. Once on the island, passengers disembark to enjoy an appetizer of clams and nectar, then visit the Tillicum Village longhouse for a buffet meal including salmon baked on cedar stakes in the traditional Northwest Coast native style. At the end of the meal, enjoy a spellbinding performance highlighting the myth, magic and dances of the local Salish Indians, complete with high-tech effects. There's even a chance to explore the island a bit before heading back on the return cruise.

* Additional fees apply.

It was a beautiful day for the trip, but I think it was worthwhile in almost any weather. It is an excellant value for all that you get...boat tour, dinner, the Island itself, which is wooded and has beautiful views. The Indian show was very well done and meaningful.

Great way to cruise out on Elliot Bay and see views of Seattle. Tillicum Village food was excellent. Great way to show visitors some of our native American history.

Description

Your 4-hour event includes: A narrated Cruise to Blake Island, steamed clam appetizers upon arrival, a salmon buffet, Native American-inspired dance show, exploration time on the island and a return cruise!

2012 Tillicum Village Menu:

Steamed Clams in Nectar
As you disembark the boat, join other guests for a welcoming mug of steamed clams in broth with a touch of butter and onions – delicious! As is tradition at Tillicum, the used shells are crushed under foot to create the beautiful pathway.

Traditional Alder Baked Salmon
Savor this centuries-old treat! This salmon, baked around alder wood fires on cedar stakes, is unlike anything you have ever tasted. Taking approximately one hour to bake slowly to perfection, the salmon retains moisture and takes on a wonderful mild flavor unique to this style of cooking. Served with our signature Juniper Berry Seasoning.

Signature Northwest Stew
This thick meaty stew consisting of venison, beef and bison is full of flavors married together in a rich veal stock, combined with root vegetables and potatoes for a mouth-watering dish.

Wild Grain Harvest Rice
Try this wonderful combination of wild and regular rice, cooked to perfection with onions, garlic and a fragrant vegetable stock.

Warm Whole Grain Tillicum Bread
This rich, dark, slightly-sweet bread is made with a hint of molasses – our own private recipe, served warm with butter. So popular, in fact, you can even purchase loaves to take home!

Field Greens Salad
Seasonal greens, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, Oregon blue cheese, with stone ground rosemary dressing or raspberry vinaigrette served on the side.

Tri-Colored Bean Salad
A colorful display of marinated creamy-white cannellini beans and bright, fresh green beans tossed with cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and shallots in a red-wine vinaigrette

Fresh Fruit Salad
Assorted Melons, Grapes, Strawberries and Pineapple, served with a Strawberry Honey Dipping Sauce

Northwest Dessert Treat
Individual rustic apple pie, served room temperature.

Please note:
Vegan entrees are available with advance request. Menu is subject to change without notice.

Coffee and tea service is provided with your meal at Tillicum Village.

Guests are advised to wear layers, as the weather can be chilly on the water and island.
