Day 1

Vancouver

Canada · Embarkation

Park paths, market vendors, city galleries.

Vancouver is the prettiest embarkation in this catalog and the most convenient: Canada Place is downtown, under the white sails on the waterfront, with the city on three sides of it. It is the southern end of the Inside Passage, so the scenery starts the moment you leave. The season runs May to September.

  • Stanley Park

    Choose suitable public paths and views, with the return connection arranged in advance.

  • Granville Island Public Market

    Browse available market vendors and choose an optional break.

  • Vancouver Art Gallery

    Explore selected open galleries at the current Hornby Street location.

Day 7

San Diego

United States

Bayfront paths, a carrier, historic ships.

San Diego docks downtown at the Embarcadero, so the USS Midway, the Gaslamp Quarter and the waterfront are all on foot. Balboa Park and the zoo are a short ride and need most of a day between them.

    Enjoy a selected park section and the waterfront setting.

    Choose available hangar, flight-deck or other exhibits suited to your visit.

Day 8

Los Angeles

United States · Disembarkation

San Pedro harbor paths, maritime history, a battleship.

Los Angeles sails from the World Cruise Center at San Pedro, in the harbour south of the city, not from anywhere near the parts of Los Angeles people picture. It is about forty minutes from the airport with no traffic and considerably more with it. Mexican Riviera itineraries and repositioning sailings leave from here.

Ways to spend your day

  • San Pedro Downtown Harbor

    Enjoy the public harbor setting and paths available on your visit date.

  • Los Angeles Maritime Museum

    Explore available indoor exhibits in San Pedro.

  • Battleship IOWA

    Choose the general-admission experience and spaces suited to your access needs.
