Although Pacific Coastal cruises sometimes share ports with Alaska itineraries, these voyages don’t sail quite so far north. For example, you may sail from Oregon or Seattle and stop in beautiful Victoria or Vancouver in British Columbia. You might also see Alberta, Canada stops like Lake Louise, Banff, and Jasper.

Pacific Coastal cruises may depart Seattle, stop in lovely and historic Astoria, Oregon, and sail south to cosmopolitan San Francisco. Some voyages sail from Los Angeles all the way to Vancouver.

These itineraries are very popular due to the staggering amount of nature on display. The Pacific Northwest wows with vineyards, worldly cities, dramatic ocean cliff views, mountains as far as the eye can see, and playful seals and whales, among other wildlife. These itineraries make for great romantic getaways, as well as fantastic family outings.

You can book your Pacific Coastal cruise with fleets like Holland America, Princess, Crystal, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity.
