Our eight-night North American adventure encompasses some true west coast gems. Starting in sunny San Diego, we cruise north to the snorkeling hotspot of Santa Catalina, before sailing into San Francisco, to be greeted by the beautiful panorama of the Golden Gate Bridge arching above the glittering bay. We have two days here, before some time at sea brings us to Astoria, Oregon, a historic city (the oldest west of the Rockies) with a charming forest setting. Cruising onwards to Canada, we come to Victoria, the cool cosmopolitan capital of British Columbia, known as the garden city for its abundant parkland. The arty harbor town of Nanaimo is next, before we complete our journey with two days in the bustling metropolis of Vancouver, famous as one of the world’s most livable cities.ems.
