California Cruise Highlights

Fine Wines

California is famed for its fine wines, particularly those grown in Napa and Sonoma Valleys. Head out of San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge to the lush wine country of Sonoma Valley, dotted with sleepy country towns and wineries. There are plenty of opportunities to taste the wines and meet the growers, as well as admire the verdant countryside.

Cosmopolitan San Francisco

Few cities are packed with as many iconic sights as San Francisco, from the graceful vermillion span of the Golden Gate Bridge to the vintage cable cars, the zig-zag of Lombard Street, the Victorian “Painted Ladies” of Haight Street, and the colors, aromas, and bustle of Chinatown. Head to North Beach for the best Italian coffee, shop for souvenirs at Pier 39, and take a tour of the seemingly impenetrable Alcatraz to learn about the legendary criminals who were incarcerated here.

Scenic Strolls

Whether you want to enjoy nature or take in urban landscapes, you’ll love discovering our West Coast destinations on foot. From San Francisco, hike the trails snaking through Muir Woods, a primeval landscape of rushing streams shaded by mighty redwoods. In Los Angeles, stroll along the famed Santa Monica Pier or wander down Rodeo Drive to browse the designer shops. From Astoria, head to the town of Seaside and explore the endless sands of Cannon Beach, dominated by the brooding Haystack Rock.

California Cruise Destinations

Panama Canal

Experience the thrill of sailing through the Panama Canal, a wonder of engineering that connects the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Marvel at the workings of the massive locks as you pass through. Look out for monkeys and sloths in the trees as you cross Gatun Lake. Panama Canal itineraries also visit buzzing Puerto Vallarta and Huatulco in Mexico, and the cloud forests of Costa Rica, rich in wildlife. Historic Cartagena, all cobbled streets and vibrant color, is another highlight.
