Waterfront views, market browsing, and hands-on science.
San Francisco is a hilly California city on the Golden Gate. The Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, cable cars and Fisherman's Wharf are the classics, and the cruise terminal is on the Embarcadero waterfront.

Day 2At sea.A full day at sea aboard Ruby Princess. Sailing from San Francisco toward Victoria.
Victoria is usually a late call, often arriving in the evening, because US law requires a foreign port on a round trip from Seattle and this is the nearest one. That shapes the day: the Inner Harbour lit up is lovely, Butchart Gardens after dark in season is better than it sounds, and anything needing daylight will not happen.
Ways to spend your day
Inner Harbour causeway
Enjoy a selected public causeway section and the harbour setting.
Royal BC Museum
Choose open exhibits rather than assuming every historic gallery is available.
Beacon Hill Park
Select a manageable park section and respect protected habitats.
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.
Ways to spend your day
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.
Seattle is the busier of the two Alaska gateways, running from May to September and going quiet the rest of the year. Two terminals are in use and they are not close to each other: Pier 91 is north of downtown at Smith Cove, Pier 66 is on the downtown waterfront. Check which one your ship uses before you book anything else.
Ways to spend your day
Pike Place Market
Browse a selected part of the market and the merchants open during your visit.
Olympic Sculpture Park
Choose a manageable section of public park paths and outdoor sculptures.
Space Needle
Use a confirmed timed ticket and allow separately for security and elevator queues.
