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.

A memorable cruise experience! 8 , VIC, Australia, Jul 2023
Our Holland America cruise ship Koningsdam was wonderful in all aspects! Balcony stateroom, food & beverage options catered for all! Staff and service was excellent. We believe the number of cruise ships allowed to berth in the Alaskan small towns was excessive.
Alaska cruise with Holland America Line 7 , VIC, Australia, Aug 2022
Holland America is only 1 of 2 cruise lines that is permitted to head into Glacier Bay, a highlight of the Alaska cruise that is not to be missed. Apart from that, the cruise line offers numerous dining options, many of which are fine dining selections. The wine packages that were for purchase featured high-quality wines from around the world.
