OCEAN CRUISING

From icy glaciers to autumnal tones – there’s no shortage of striking scenery along North America’s coastlines.

Expect Alaska to replace the soaring skylines of Seattle and Vancouver with the ice-cold grandeur of snow-capped mountains. Chocolate-box charm defines the gold-rush-era cities of Skagway and Juneau, while spotting wildlife awaits in Ketchikan, known for its Native American totem poles.  

Further south, cruising California means slow sailing through sun-baked waters and dancing down the Spanish streets of Santa Barbara en route to Baja. Differing dramatically over in the east, however, historic harbours lead to the cities synonymous with the very name of the USA.

Port report
A spotlight on the places not to be missed

    • Aerial view of a rocky coastline with waves crashing against the shore, surrounded by lush greenery and buildings.
      Hawaiian Islands

      Winding down the west coast, choose a cruise that takes a turn towards the islands of Hawaii. A pacific detour to tropical lands, call upon the crescent-beached capital of Honolulu before touring Big Island; home to cascading waterfalls, luscious rainforests and an exciting excursion to Volcanoes National Park.

    • A lighthouse stands on a rocky coastline with layered sedimentary rocks, bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun under a partly cloudy sky.
      New England

      A playground for presidents and poets, and the birthplace of America itself, New England’s landscapes may be seasonal, but its quaint charm is evergreen. Roam the halls of Gilded Age grandiosity at The Newport Mansions or embrace the outdoors on the rocky headlands of Acadia National Park.

    • The Golden Gate Bridge during late afternoon with warm sunlight and a partly cloudy sky, spanning across a body of water with a rocky shoreline in the foreground.
      California

      Of the many landscapes that make up California, it’s the vineyard-studded valleys that offer a taste of bottled sunshine. Starting in San Francisco, the scenic route north transports guests to the heart of the Sonoma Valley region to sample a selection of vintage wines, and perhaps purchase an addition to a personal collection.
