Cruise Itinerary

Departs: 16:00

Vancouver is the ideal home port to begin or end an Alaskan adventure. Blessed with stunning vistas and exciting activities, Vancouver offers the perfect blend of urban and natural experiences. Vancouver is a must for any cruise itinerary, and because it's a compact, walkable city right on the edge of nature, adding on just a couple of extra days to explore will give you an authentic taste of what makes this place so attractive to visitors.

Located in the heart of Vancouver’s waterfront, 'Canada Place' (cruise terminal) can service up to three luxury cruise ships at any given time.

A day cruising at sea offers you the perfect mix of relaxation and activity. Start your morning on the top-level decks with a game of pickleball, enjoying the fresh sea breeze and expansive ocean views. Or, head to the Greenhouse Spa & Salon® to rejuvenate with a therapeutic spa treatment. The Kids Club will keep younger guests entertained with a variety of fun events and activities, while you can unwind by the pool or enjoy a Pilates class at the Fitness Center.

In the evening, delight in a tantalizing meal at one of the ship's restaurants, and afterward, enjoy a world-class performance at the stunning World Stage, adding a touch of culture to your night. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or both, a day at sea will be full of unforgettable experiences.

Arrives: 8:00 Departs: 17:00

The Port of San Francisco annually hosts more than 80 cruise ships at the James R. Herman Cruise Terminal (Pier 27) and nearby Pier 35. The terminal is in a prime location, with easy access to popular attractions including Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, the Ferry Building and Union Square.

One of the most spectacular things about cruising from San Francisco is passing under the Golden Gate Bridge. Make sure you are on the lido deck for the sailaway party. It’s certainly a ‘hold your breath’ moment as the ship sails under the bridge.

Holland America, 14 day, cruise Mexico and the Peninsula   1 , CA, United States, Nov 2025
This was our first experience with Global Journeys. We were assigned to work with Melissa. She was very easy to work with, and when I had a question she was able to answer it. She was very responsive. If we use Global Journeys again we will request working with Melissa..

Enjoyed our Holland America Cruise and Cruisetour. Holland America were very well organised so everything went smoothly. Glacier Bay was a highlight. Enjoyed sessions on the ship with ranger. Enjoyed some of entertainment in the World Stage and the piano bar. Enjoyed presentations about Alaska. Some of the highlights of our cruisetour was visiting read more Seward as in our free time we visited the “Sea Life Centre” getting to see sea animals and birds up close.

In Denali the Rangers Office had excellent displays and films for free and arranged free tours to their Alaskan Huskies kennels a few time a day. At Fairbanks the HA included excursion of Gold Dredge and Paddle Steamer was a highlight. At Skagway we thoroughly enjoyed a privately arranged excursion to the Suspension bridge in Yukon.
