Lake Powell: ‘Bird on a Boat’ - Thanksgiving houseboat package

Doesn’t the sound of mixing vacation with a family-packed holiday like Thanksgiving sound like a win-win? Don’t get me wrong: Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, but I also like the idea of spending a long weekend out on gorgeous Lake Powell with only my closest friends and family. And what’s even better than getting a good sale? Getting your Thanksgiving dinner included in the package so you don’t have to cart a big old turkey out to the lake.

Deal: Use promo code “TurkeyBoat” to get the “Bird on a Boat” Thanksgiving on Lake Powell house boat package with a five-day, four-night houseboat trip for the price of a three-day trip. The special holiday offer starts at $1,850 and comes with a full Thanksgiving dinner, including a 15-pound turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, a green salad with dressing, two pumpkin pies with whipped cream, and rolls and butter.

Here are the houseboats you have to choose from (and a comparison chart to help you decide):

Adventurer - $1,850 (regularly priced $2,795 without package) sleeps up to eight and offers most of the first-rate amenities of the larger class vessels, but in a smaller, more nimble craft.

Navigator - $1,850 (regularly priced $2,785 without package) for up to 10 people in a more affordable model that offers a spacious plush interior for an extra level of comfort, RV-style air conditioning, a CD player and kitchen appliances.

Discovery XL - $2,195 (regularly priced $3,295 without package) features two staterooms, two lower berths, one and a half bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, central heating and air conditioning, comfortable interior, wet bar, TV, VCR and CD sound system.

Note: Departures must be made on Tuesday or Wednesday, Nov. 24 or 25, and reservations must be booked seven business days before arrival.
