Multicultural Los Angeles in Southern California is the capital of the nation's (and some might say the world's) film and television industry. This sprawling city sports 75 miles of coastline and a multitude of neighborhoods. Those leaving on cruises out of Los Angeles have an exciting port city to explore before they set sail!

There are several film and TV landmarks you can visit in Los Angeles, such as the Walk of Fame and Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. Not too far from the Hollywood sign, you can also take a fun studio tour from Universal, Warner Brothers, or Paramount Pictures. Universal Studios has its own popular theme park as well. There are several independent tour operators that deliver double-decker bus tours of the city, including tours of the stars' homes.

When planning a last minute cruise from Los Angeles and before leaving on cruises out of LA, visitors should check out the incredible views. Head up to 70 floors above street level at the OUE Skyspace LA observation deck. If you dare, thrill down the 45-foot glass slide located on the outside of the tower!
