12 Night Cruise sailing from San Francisco to Vancouver aboard Regatta.

12 Night Cruise sailing from San Francisco to Vancouver aboard Regatta.

Sail away onboard Regatta, an intimate and luxurious ship that caters to just 684 discerning guests. Savor the finest cuisine at sea, be pampered by 5-star personal service, enjoy world-class entertainment and relax in the country-club casual ambiance.

Consider too, that with just 684 guests, there is far more opportunity to mix and mingle, to develop a camaraderie with fellow shipmates. Take in an enthralling lecture given by a world-renowned expert or delve into the latest best seller in the English-inspired library. Succumb to the pleasures of an aromatherapy massage or work out in the state-of-the-art fitness centre. Your lifestyle onboard can be active and engaged or as private and laid back as you wish.

Highlights of this cruise:

San Francisco
With icons like the orange-colored Golden Gate Bridge, clanging streetcars, rolling fog and impossibly steep hills, scenic San Francisco never fails to capture your heart. While the setting is dramatic, the atmosphere is positively laissez-faire, so feel free to do whatever you wish. Tour notorious Alcatraz. See predators like the sharks that live in the surrounding waters at the Aquarium of the Bay. Observe the bonsai in the Japanese Tea Garden in emerald-green Golden Gate Park. Go up mural-covered Coit Tower atop Telegraph Hill for an amazing view of the city, which looks even more dynamic at night.

Ketchikan
Totem poles are one of Ketchikan's chief attractions, and the best places to view them are Saxman Village and Totem Bight State Park. Drop by the Southeast Alaska Discovery Center to learn about the local cultures and ecosystems.

Juneau
For a state capital, Juneau maintains a surprising small-town charm, in part because it can only be reached by sea or air due to the surrounding wilderness. Collections from the indigenous people are displayed in the Alaska State Museum. Visit Mendenhall Glacier for outdoor adventure.

Wrangell
Once a Tlingit Indian stronghold, then a Russian outpost, and finally an American settlement in 1867, Wrangell has endured dramatic change and honors it. See a preserved tribal house on Chief Shakes Island. Learn about the three gold rushes that transformed the area in the Wrangell Museum. Behold the ancient petroglyphs carved into the rocks on the nearby beaches.

Vancouver
By far the largest port on Regatta's Alaska cruises, Vancouver offers every imaginable big-city attraction. Explore the Museum of Anthropology and the Vancouver Art Museum for culture. History flourishes in the Gastown district, which borders vibrant Chinatown. Or enjoy a break from the bustle in Stanley Park, one of North America's largest urban parks.
