WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO West Coast Cruises Insider
Depending on the time of year you visit the Pacific Northwest, rain is common here, so be sure to pack appropriate clothes. Compact umbrellas, light rain jackets and waterproof shoes are just a few of the items you should pack.
Whether you're ATVing or waterfall trekking, you're sure to find yourself outside no matter what you do in Hawaii. Always have your bathing suit, sunscreen and sunglasses in your day pack.
9 Cool Things To Do On Short Cruises From Los Angeles
The Best Destinations You Can Visit On A Mexican Riviera Cruise
Although the West Coast is known for its sunshine, it tends to cool off at night no matter the season, so pack light layers.
Hiking in Vancouver is a must! Be sure to pack insect repellent and bear spray to be cautious.
There's some etiquette to know when visiting Stanley Park in Vancouver. The majority of the path is a very strict one-way. If you get confused, refer to the signs providing direction all along the path, or ask a local to help you out.
A HIGHER STANDARD
From artisanal baked goods to ultra-fresh seafood, the creators of West Coast cuisine are committed to excellence.
The Old Way to Doughnut
When visiting Seattle, you need to try Top Pot Doughnuts. This doughnut shop is not only known for its hand-made circles of love but also its vintage aesthetic and commitment to doing things the old-fashioned (and delicious) way.
Take a Bite of Vancouver
Being that this city is located on the Pacific coast, you can enjoy some of the freshest fish in the world. On top of that, organic vegetables and locally sourced meats are plentiful at restaurants across the city. Head to Bluewater Cafe for cold briny oysters on the half shell.
Keep Your Cool
Beat the heat with the Hawaiian classic shaved ice. You'll find both locals and travelers enjoying this icy cool treat. What is shaved ice? It's a dessert made with ice finely shaved from a block, topped with fruit and fruit puree syrups. Head to Island Vintage Shaved Ice in Honolulu and order the lilikoi over soft serve ice cream.
RELATED PORTS
Discover the West Coast's varied hubs of adventure. Experience the rugged coastlines of Washington and Oregon, the mountains of British Columbia, the turquoise waters of Hawaii and the wilderness of Alaska. Whichever west coast cruise port you choose, you're sure to discover why so many call it the "best coast."

- 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.
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.
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.
What to Do on a California Coast Getaway Cruise
Reconnect with nature or relax with a glass of Napa Valley wine in hand on a three-day cruise. From San Diego to Vancouver and every port between, refresh your mind and come back rejuvenated on Pacific Coast Getaways.

On a three-day cruise from Los Angeles or Pacific Coastal Getaways from San Francisco, discover hidden gems tucked inside the city’s park — like the aquarium and Totem Pole Park. Or hike the trails, bike along the seawall path or cross the Lynn Suspension Bridge for unparalleled views of the forest.
From riding cable cars to sampling fresh bay shrimp, experience it all in The Golden City. On short cruises from San Francisco, visit Alcatraz and walk in the footsteps of famous prisoners from the past. Spend the day shopping at Pier 39, and enjoy lunch at one of the waterside restaurants. Or head to Sonoma and Napa Valley to experience California’s famous Wine Country, where you can sip on award-winning vino.
Travel through time as you peruse the exhibits of Astoria’s Columbia River Maritime Museum, home to one of the nation's finest displays of model ships and nautical artifacts. During a Pacific Coast getaway, enjoy interactive exhibits, watch short films and get up close to over 30,000 maritime objects. Or admire the 44-foot Coast Guard rescue boat suspended mid-air, and tour the floating lighthouse, known as Columbia.
California Coast shore excursions
From beach breaks to historical tours, find excursions for everyone on Pacific Coast getaways, say hello to the sea lions lounging on Pier 39 at Fisherman’s Wharf. Follow the stars along Hollywood’s Walk of Fame or shop along famous Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles.

Whether you’re headed to California or the Caribbean, immerse yourself in the best of the region on board.
Pools, Hot Tubs and Relaxation
Endless fun in the sun
On any Getaway cruise, dive into relaxation with a dip in the sparkling pools or hot tubs. Soak up the sun on our padded loungers, and sip on cocktails from the bar while watching pool competitions from your chaise. Or join in on the pool games and partake in the fun alongside fellow guests. On select ships, unwind in The Sanctuary, a retreat just for adults, and let the kids frolic through the Splash Zone.
Culinary Demos & Wine Tastings
Please your palette
Sip and savor the best from each region with cooking demonstrations and wine tastings on board. Learn how to prepare local delicacies during chef-led presentations, and taste them for yourself in any of the dining rooms and specialty restaurants.
