This cruise takes you to the most impressive destinations on the diverse West Coast of the United States and Canada. Enjoy an exceptional mix of dazzling city life and untouched nature.
Start your cruise in Los Angeles by exploring the fascinating Hollywood district, the Walk of Fame, Sunset Boulevard or the famous Dolby Theatre. San Francisco then offers you an exciting kaleidoscope of cultures and the option of a wine tasting* in the scenic Sonoma Valley. After a relaxing day at sea, you will reach Astoria, a cosy small town attractively located on the Columbia River. As soon as the EUROPA 2 crosses the border to Canada and moors in Victoria, the impressive natural landscape will attract all eyes. Go hiking in Goldstream Provincial Park*, where gold was discovered in the 19th century. Relaxed coastal flair, in contrast, awaits you in Nanaimo, a tranquil little town. Did you know that Vancouver is considered one of the most liveable cities in the world? You have two days to discover it in depth – most impressively from a bird’s-eye view by seaplane*, for example. The way back south takes you via Seattle to Eureka. Finally, enjoy exclusive Santa Barbara, probably the most beautiful coastal city in California, and the beautiful beaches of San Diego before your cruise comes to an end in Los Angeles the next day.
* The pre- and post-cruise programmes and shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change.
