Journey back in time to explore the infamous Alcatraz Prison -- also known as 'the Rock'.

Your half-day tour begins with a panoramic drive by motorcoach along the Embarcadero and across the Golden Gate Bridge. This bridge is possibly the most beautiful -- and certainly the most photographed -- bridge in the world. Often half-veiled by the city's trademark rolling fog, San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge spans tidal currents and withstands ocean waves and battering winds to connect the City by the Bay with the Redwood Empire to the north. You'll pause at Vista Point to take photos. Weather permitting, take in sweeping views of San Francisco Bay and the city skyline, as well as Alcatraz, Angel Island and Yerba Buena Island, the islands of San Francisco Bay, Berkeley, Oakland and downtown San Francisco.

The full loop is approximately 2 hours in duration.

The Civic Center includes the beautiful architectural masterpieces of City Hall, the Asian Art Museum, Central Library, Symphony Hall and the Opera House. Don’t miss Alamo Square with its picturesque Victorian row houses and the Haight-Ashbury district—once the epicenter of the 1960s Summer of Love hippy culture. The stop at Golden Gate Park includes the California Academy of Sciences, the Japanese Tea Garden, the De Young Museum, and the Botanic Gardens. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge you’ll see the tremendous towers, sweeping main cables, and the signature International Orange color. Returning to the City Center via Presidio Park, there are stops at the Palace of Fine Arts, Lombard Street, Union Square North, Chinatown, and Steuart Street. The tour ends at the ship’s pier on Embarcadero Street located just a short distance from Pier 39, home to the Aquarium on the Bay and a favorite gathering spot for a large population of the California sea lion.

Cross the spectacular Golden Gate Bridge en route to visit one of the few remaining groves of virgin coastal redwoods. These world-famous trees are among the tallest and oldest of their kind in existence. The nature trail at Muir Woods leads you into the heart of the cathedral-like grove of trees. Take a moment to enjoy the serenity of this majestic setting while learning the fascinating history of the giant redwoods. After your time surrounded by nature, continue to the artist colony of Sausalito.

From the pier, travel along the Embarcadero and up famous Market Street to the top of Twin Peaks. Of the 43 hills in San Francisco, Twin Peaks offers the city’s most spectacular views. The almost-identical summits, Noe and Eureka, rise approximately 922 feet above the city. On a clear day, you are treated to a 360-degree view spanning the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Berkeley and the peninsula. Next, glide through lush Golden Gate Park, San Francisco's enormous arboreal front yard. Situated a few blocks north of the oceanfront end of the park is the spectacular Cliff House—spend a few minutes here taking in the excellent views of the Pacific and the Golden Gate Nation Recreation Area. Proceed to cross the historic Golden Gate Bridge (celebrating its 75th year in 2012), possibly the most beautiful—and certainly the most photographed—bridge in the world. Pause for photos at Vista Point, and from here, a short drive takes you down into Sausalito. Reminiscent of Saint Tropez on the French Riviera, Sausalito is a quaint artists’ colony. Next to the bayside restaurants, antiques shops, and galleries you'll see hamburger joints, ice cream shops, and secondhand bookstores. Sausalito's main strip is Bridgeway, which runs along the water. A bay-front meal (at your own expense) is highly recommended.

Few cities are more spectacularly suited to a walking tour than Victoria. Whether your passion is for the outdoors, history, beautiful scenery or horticulture, there is something here for you.

Victoria is one of the most picturesque cities in North America -- it exudes old-world charm and a distinctively British flair. This tour will show you its heart and soul, and why so many visitors from around the world come each year to the City of Gardens. From the Cruise Terminal on Ogden Point, you’ll head into the upscale residential neighborhoods, complete with manicured lawns, abundant flowers of all shapes and sizes, and million-dollar coastal views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains in Washington State. Watch for the highlights of Victoria, historic China Town, and city and island views. Your drive will conclude with views of the Inner Harbour -- the centerpiece of Victoria. Here you’ll find the Royal British Columbia Museum, numerous street performers, craft vendors, food stalls, the British Columbia Legislature building, and the world-famous Fairmont Empress Hotel. Guests who wish to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so, but must make their own way back to the ship.

The Butchart Gardens by night offers an entirely different perspective from daytime visits.
