The term "booze cruise" is an informal slang term used to describe a leisure activity that combines a sightseeing or transportation experience with the consumption of alcohol onboard. The phrase has its origins in the mid-20th century when boat tours were popularized as a form of entertainment, often offering passengers the opportunity to travel along scenic waterways while enjoying refreshments, including alcoholic beverages. The term "cruise" was already in use to describe these boat tours, and the addition of the word "booze" was a playful way to describe the alcohol served onboard. Today, the term "booze cruise" is commonly used to refer to restorative alcohol-themed cruises, dinner cruises, party cruises, and other recreational boat trips that provide a chance to indulge in alcohol while enjoying the scenery.
