Cloaked in nautical artifacts and Victorian homes, Astoria continues to retain its 19th-century charm. On a California Coast getaway cruise, visit historic sites like Fort Stevens State Park and Astoria. Sip on Astoria ales or Oregon wines, and see one of the best-preserved examples of Queen Anne-style architecture at the Flavel House. Or get up close to hundreds of antiquities at the Columbia River Maritime Museum.
Known for its beaches, parks and renowned San Diego Zoo, this city has something for everyone. An urban downtown with great nightlife, a south-of-the-border feeling in Old Town, thrilling shows at Sea World Adventure Park or a tour of aircraft-carrier-turned-museum, USS Midway. Art galleries, gardens or tours of the county’s wineries, all await in San Diego on a West Coast getaway cruise.
It’s not hard to see why San Francisco has captured so many hearts and minds. World-class cuisine, iconic architecture, diverse neighborhoods and history all wait at your fingertips. Ride the ferry to Alcatraz, or tour Sonoma wine country and taste some of the world's best wines on a cruise to Alaska from San Francisco.
Canada's third largest city feels like a North American metropolis mixed with a small European town. Explore the rainforest within Vancouver, B.C. — Stanley Park — and visit the continent's second largest Chinatown during your Alaska cruise vacation. Soar above the city's lush natural environment in a sky gondola for panoramic views, or get up close to the local sea life at the Vancouver Aquarium.
