◆Ports you’ll visit◆
Vancouver
Glass towers ringed by rainforest, seawall, and the North Shore mountains.
Ketchikan
Totem poles and rainforest creeks in Alaska's first city of salmon.
Juneau
Humpbacks breach offshore while Mendenhall Glacier glows blue at the trailhead.
Heads up: Mendenhall Glacier is a 30-min bus ride, not walkable from the ship.
Skagway
The White Pass railway climbs from tidewater to the Yukon in one gasping hour.
Aruba
UTVs to the natural pool, then reef and shipwreck snorkeling by catamaran.
Heads up: Palm Beach and Eagle Beach still need a 15-20 min bus or taxi.
Icy Strait Point
Whales crowd the strait and the world's longest zipline drops toward the sea.
Heads up: It's a built-for-cruisers excursion site; Hoonah village is a 2km stroll away.
Cabo San Lucas
El Arco rises where two seas meet, above snorkel coves and desert cliffs.
Heads up: Always a tender port; queues can add 30+ min each way on big ships.
Puerto Vallarta
Cobblestone old town meets jungle rivers and the wide sweep of Banderas Bay.
Heads up: Old town is a 20-min taxi or local bus, not a walk from the pier.
Seattle
Emerald City of market stalls and ferries with Mount Rainier on the horizon.
Heads up: Pier 91 is not downtown; only Pier 66 lets you walk to Pike Place.
Ensenada
Baja wine country and blowhole spray on a coast between vineyards and sea.
Los Angeles
Hollywood glamour, Pacific surf, and star sightings a drive from San Pedro.
Heads up: San Pedro is nowhere near Hollywood; LA sights are 35-60 min in traffic.
Miami
Airboats gliding past gators, art deco pastels, and Cuban cafecito buzz.
Heads up: South Beach is a 15-25 min ride, not a walk from the port.
