Head out of San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge to the rolling wine country of Sonoma Valley, dotted with sleepy country towns and wineries. Here, you’ll visit a local grower, enjoy a tour of the winery, and have time for a tasting. Further north, in Oregon, taste some of the world’s finest pinots in the scenic Willamette Valley, where there are no less than 700 wineries.

Cosmopolitan San Francisco

Few cities are packed with as many iconic sights as San Francisco, from the graceful vermillion span of the Golden Gate Bridge to the vintage cable cars, the zig-zag of Lombard Street, the Victorian “Painted Ladies” of Haight Street, and the colors, aromas, and bustle of Chinatown. Head to North Beach for the best Italian coffee, shop for souvenirs at Pier 39, and take a tour of seemingly impenetrable Alcatraz to learn about the legendary criminals who were incarcerated here.

Scenic Hikes

Join a guided hike over the scenic East End Trail on rugged Catalina Island, climbing to 1,684 feet, with sweeping views of the eastern shoreline. Commune with nature in this pristine environment, where you could spot bald eagles, Catalina gray fox, deer, and bison. From San Francisco, one of the most beautiful hikes is the six miles of trails snaking through Muir Woods, a primeval landscape of ferns and rushing streams shaded by magnificent redwoods.

California Cruise Destinations

Experience the thrill of sailing through the Panama Canal, a wonder of engineering that connects the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Get close to the locks and learn about the canal’s history on a trip from Colon, or paddle a kayak on Panama’s island-specked Gatun Lake. Panama Canal itineraries also visit buzzing Puerto Vallarta and Huatulco in Mexico, and the cloud forests of Costa Rica, rich in wildlife. Historic Cartagena, all cobbled streets and vibrant color, is another highlight.

Make your way along the rugged Pacific Coast visiting unforgettable destinations in California, Oregon, and British Columbia. Explore rugged Catalina Island on two wheels, or on a guided hike. Take advantage of an overnight stay in San Francisco to explore the museums, taste dim sum in Chinatown, and visit the rolling vineyards of Sonoma or Napa Valley. Embrace the seaside charm of historic Astoria and stroll through the pristine Butchart Gardens in quaint Victoria on Vancouver Island.

Holland America Line’s 2025-2026 Mexico and Pacific Coast Seasons Offer Rare Great Bear Rainforest Itinerary and Sea of Cortez Cruises

Noordam to take guests through British Columbia’s historic Inside Passage on unique itinerary, rich with wildlife and nature

Seattle, Wash., March 15, 2024 — Holland America Line opened its 2025-2026 Mexico and Pacific Coast seasons, including longer calls at unique ports like Mexico’s Loreto and Topolobampo, and a new seven-day Great Bear Rainforest itinerary — a rarely cruised route that reveals the beauty of British Columbia, Canada. Cruises run from August 2025 to May 2026 and range from one day up to a 29-day Collectors’ Voyage.

Holland America Line has long been known as a leader in cruising in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, and a seven-day “Great Bear Rainforest” itinerary that hasn’t been offered in decades showcases a distinct take on cruising in this region. Departing Oct. 5, 2025 , and April 19, 2026 , aboard Noordam, travelers seeking a more intimate experience can become immersed in the culture, nature and rare wildlife of Ketchikan, Alaska, and Prince Rupert, Nanaimo and Victoria, British Columbia.

“This in-depth exploration of the PNW takes guests through the historic Inside Passage, sailing through some of the most confined waters our ships have ever sailed, said Paul Grigsby, vice president of deployment and revenue planning for Holland America Line.  “This is the true Inside Passage, the storied route between Seattle and Alaska that ships have been sailing since as far back as the gold rush era.  It is a first for our company to plan a sailing focused on this fjord-like waterway that maximizes a daylight transit to allow best opportunities for wildlife sightings,” added Grigsby.    

The roundtrip from Seattle, Washington, “Great Bear Rainforest” itinerary calls at Ketchikan before heading south to thoroughly explore ports in British Columbia. The ship overnights in Prince Rupert before scenic cruising in Greenville Channel, past the first nation’s village of Bella Bella, Johnstone Strait and Seymour Narrows. While cruising, guests can view wildlife like whales, eagles and the rare Kermode bear — also known as the spirit bear. A maiden call at Nanaimo and visit to popular Victoria give guests the opportunity to deeply explore many different communities in British Columbia.

Ten additional itineraries along the Pacific Coast highlight the region’s stunning scenery and sail from San Diego, California, to Seattle or Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Cruises call at popular ports like Astoria, Oregon; Santa Barbara, California; and Ensenada, Mexico; and select itineraries feature an overnight in San Francisco, California.

For those seeking some fun under the sun, Holland America Line’s Mexico season provides the perfect escape. Cruises are roundtrip from San Diego or between San Diego and Vancouver, taking travelers to Mexico’s iconic ports like Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta, while also granting access to even more of the Sea of Cortez with calls at Guaymas and Santa Rosalia, Mexico. Late-night calls on select itineraries allow guests to discover historic sites in Loreto and take in Topolobampo’s dramatic scenery.

“Our Mexico cruises are favorites among many guests due to the incredible weather and beautiful landscapes, with ports boasting on average 300 days of sunshine a year,” said Beth Bodensteiner, chief commercial officer for Holland America Line. “And there’s so much more to experience beyond the scenery. Guests can delve deep into the culinary delights of the region through shore excursions, while also enjoying local fresh fish like yellowfin tuna on board.”

Highlights of the 2025-2026 Pacific Coast Season:

• Cruises on Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam and Zaandam.
•  Itineraries are roundtrip Vancouver, Seattle or San Diego; and between Seattle or San Diego and Vancouver.

• “Great Bear Rainforest”  is seven days roundtrip from Seattle and calls at Ketchikan, Prince Rupert, Nanaimo (maiden call), and Victoria.
• A four-day  “California Retreat”  sails roundtrip San Diego departing Oct. 21, 2025, and calls at Ensenada, Avalon and Santa Barbara.
• A four-day itinerary roundtrip from Vancouver departing April 29, 2026, calls at Astoria and Victoria.
• "Wine Country and Pacific Northwest" is from San Diego to Vancouver. The six-day cruise includes Victoria and San Francisco (overnight); the seven-day adds Avalon and Astoria, and extends the call in Victoria to a late-night departure.
• "Classic California Coast"  is seven days roundtrip from San Diego and calls at Avalon, San Francisco (overnight) and Ensenada

• Seven-day "Mexican Riviera" cruises feature Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán and Cabo San Lucas.

Cruise ships under investigation after sailing illegally close to Hawaii's protected coast

Hawaii state officials are investigating two cruise ships that sailed illegally close to Kauai’s protected Na Pali Coastline, according to an emailed statement by the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) on Tuesday.

“Images of the ships have been circulating on social media, and vigilant kamaaina (locals) alerted the authorities to the issue,” the release said. 

In the statement, HTA said it is in contact with the cruise lines as other cruise operators who sail to Hawaii to “underscore the importance of compliance with all state and local regulations in our islands.”

The Hawaii State Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), which governs Hawaii’s nearshore waters, declined to comment on the ongoing investigation. 

DLNR and HTA did not confirm which cruise lines were sailing “much closer to Kauaʻi’s north shore than allowed by state regulations.” However, posts on social media show one of the ships to be the Celebrity Edge, which is operated by Celebrity Cruises and has the capacity to hold almost 3,000 passengers.

“We have robust policies in place to maintain compliance with local regulations around the world," a spokesperson for Celebrity's parent company, Royal Caribbean Group, said in an emailed statement. "We will continue to assess our policies and take necessary steps to ensure we continue to operate in the most responsible manner possible."

With striking cliffs, waterfalls and lush valleys, the Na Pali Coast is one of Hawaii's iconic shorelines. This is partially due to its appearance in popular movies like, "King Kong," "Pirates of the Caribbean," and "Jurassic Park." 

Home to endemic flora and fauna, the state park comprises over 3,500 protected acres. It is also a sacred place where the ancient Native Hawaiians once lived, and their heiaus (temples) and petroglyphs can still be found there today. 

The waters surrounding the coastline are also protected. Since 1988, state law prohibits commercial vessels with 50 or more passengers from operating “within the Na Pali Coast ocean waters.” These waters are defined as 3,000 feet seaward along the eastern boundary of Moloaa Bay and the southernmost boundary of the Na Pali Coast State Park.

DLNR’s Division of Conservation and Resource Enforcement told Hawaii News Now it received “numerous reports” from residents who spotted the cruise ships sailing in “very shallow water” at approximately only 1,000 feet offshore last week. 

“Some of the shots that were taken from the air actually showed the sand being disturbed at the bottom, so all of these environmental impacts that it created was very upsetting to me,” Presley Wann, a Kauai resident, told Hawaii News Now.
