Los Angeles, USA

Morning sightseeing tour of Hollywood for a walk down Hollywood Boulevard with the legendary Grauman’s Chinese Theatre where you will find the handprints of famous stars in the cement. Then downtown, you will see the business district and the Mexican quarter. Afternoon at leisure.

Los Angeles – Las Vegas, USA

Enjoy the morning at leisure. Departure to Las Vegas. Arrival in the late afternoon. Check in to your hotel for a 2-night stay. Time at leisure. This evening, meet at your hotel for an included visit of Las Vegas by Night.

Las Vegas, USA

Morning drive to the Grand Canyon West Rim, sacred land of the Hualapai Native Americans. This will most certainly be one of the highlights of your trip. The Grand Canyon is the result of millions of years of wind and water erosion. It’s an endless expanse of shapes, colors and impenetrable shadow. Upon arrival, you board a hop-on hop-off shuttle to visit the park (public shuttle without possibility to privatize). Throughout the visit, you will make stops at Guano Point, Eagle Point, and Hualapai Ranch. Optional: walk along the glass-bottomed cantilevered bridge known as the Skywalk* ($40 per person).

*Personal belongings, including cameras are not allowed on the bridge. To protect from dropping any items into the canyon or onto the glass, you will be asked to store your items in the provided lockers. Photos of the Skywalk may be taken from the side with personal cameras. Professional photos of you on the bridge are available for purchase after your walk. Children must be able to walk on their own on the glass bridge.

Las Vegas – Death Valley – Bakersfield, USA

This morning, cross the Nevada desert on the way to Pahrump and Shoshone. On entering the state of California, you descend to impressive Death Valley approximately 320 feet below sea level. This area is so desolate that the first cowboys who ventured here described it as “no stream to drink from, no tree to hang from”. You will discover Badwater Point, the lowest spot in the valley, Furnace Creek, and the Stovepipe sand dunes. Continue to Bakersfield for your overnight stay.

Bakersfield – Yosemite – San Francisco, USA

Drive to majestic Yosemite National Park, one of the most beautiful parks in the state of California. Yosemite surprises by its fresh Alpine landscapes with pine forests and magnificent waterfalls. Sheer white monolithic cliffs tower over the valley. You will discover Half Dome, Yosemite Valley, Bridalveil Falls and Yosemite Falls (in the spring). Afternoon drive to San Francisco, where you will spend the next two nights.

San Francisco, USA

Start the day with a guided tour of San Francisco, one of the most photographed, filmed, and documented cities in the world, a tantalizing mixture of history and modern sophistication. Built on several hills, the city is the gem of the magnificent bay at the foot of these hills. You will see the business district, Union Square, Chinatown, then cross world-known Golden Gate Bridge to the picturesque town of Sausalito across the bay. Afternoon on your own in San Francisco, where you will be able to discover the city on foot, take the cable car or do shopping.

At Sea

Your day at sea will allow you to take full advantage of everything the ship has to offer. Seek out hidden treasures and make the most of the facilities onboard. All of the ships activities can be found on the vessels daily newsletter. If relaxation is on your mind then your sea day will allow you to sit back, soak in ship life and watch the world as it floats by.

Ketchikan, Alaska

Today’s adventure brings us to Ketchikan, another fascinating location on the Alaskan coast. Visit a Native American village, watch a lumberjack show, take a trip to the Misty Fjords or go crab fishing!

Juneau, Alaska

The only state capital in the USA that can only be reached by boat or seaplane. With no road access and its extreme remote location, the wildlife and wilderness in Juneau are second to none! Go sea kayaking, pan for gold, visit a salmon hatchery, or take a whale watching trip. Don’t miss the Mendenhall Glacier and a glimpse back to the ice-age!

Skagway, Alaska

Welcome to Skagway! Filled with historical charm, this tiny town remains an outpost for thrilling Alaskan adventure. Hop onboard the White Pass Scenic Railway to witness Skagway’s rugged beauty, sled with Alaskan Huskies on Laughton Glacier, relive the gold rush days at Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park or embark on a rafting adventure on Lynn Canal, the longest fjord in North America.

Scenic Cruising Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier

One of Alaska’s lesser-known gems, Endicott Arm Fjord marks the southern edge of Fords Terror Wilderness area. As you drift through its 30-mile-long stretch, you can’t help but be awed by the surrounding granite cliffs, mountain valleys and dozens of gushing waterfalls. Drifting icebergs, deep blue waters and a spectacular tidewater glacier only add to this natural spectacle’s appeal.

Prince Rupert, British Columbia

Welcome to Prince Rupert. The northernmost coastal city in British Columbia, Prince Rupert experiences up to 220 days of rain each year, earning it the nickname the ‘City of Rainbows’.
