If you want to celebrate Mother’s Day this May 11, a great place to do so is on a cruise, right in the heart of San Francisco Bay. But if you can’t manage Mother’s Day itself, you’re in luck because Signature Yachts’ flagship, the 150-foot San Francisco Spirit, now hosts a champagne brunch every Saturday as well as Sunday throughout the summer season. So you and mom can enjoy great food, champagne, service and views on a weekend day of your choosing.

The lavish brunch tantalizes the tastebuds while the cruise delivers spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, and Pacific Bell Park (home of the San Francisco Giants — maybe you’ll be lucky and see the mad scramble for the ball after Barry Bonds launches one into “McCovey Cove”), that can only be seen from the water.

Book early because the Mother’s Day cruise fills up fast. This is one trip during a stay in San Francisco that any Mother would enjoy!
