Pacific Coastal Cruises

Pacific Coastal cruises sail either between Los Angeles and Vancouver, Canada, or round trip from Los Angeles.

Ports between Los Angeles and Vancouver include Catalina Island, San Francisco, and Victoria, on Vancouver Island. A southbound itinerary visits Seattle, Astoria, and San Francisco. Both of these itineraries include days at sea to enjoy the ship.

Round-trip Los Angeles cruises visit Catalina Island, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, San Diego, and Ensenada in Mexico.

Cruises depart from Los Angeles on one-way northbound voyages, ending in Vancouver, or from Vancouver on southbound voyages, ending in Los Angeles. Our Pacific Coastal itineraries sail round-trip from Los Angeles.

What to pack depends on your itinerary. The Pacific Northwest can be cool and damp, so for visits to Victoria, Seattle, and Astoria, a light waterproof jacket is a good idea, as are comfortable shoes. Layers are the best strategy here as the weather can transform in an instant, especially in San Francisco, which is prone to fog that can melt away into the sunshine. 

Bring a pair of binoculars as the marine life in the Northwest is spectacular and you stand a good chance of spotting whales and dolphins.

For itineraries that head further south, pack for the sunny climates of San Diego, Catalina Island, and Ensenada. Catalina and Santa Barbara are great for hiking, so again, remember your walking shoes.

Throughout the ship, casual resort wear, sundresses, shorts, polos, or button-downs are appropriate, paired with sandals, low heels, and loafers. In main and specialty dining, we ask guests to refrain from wearing swimsuits, see-through cover-ups or robes, bare feet, tank tops, T-shirts, and baseball caps. 

Smart Casual attire is required for entry to main dining, specialty dining, and the theater. Smart Casual means you look comfortable yet tasteful in a dress, skirt, long pants, or jeans with a stylish top or button-down. Shorts and flip-flops are not considered Smart Casual. 

Each itinerary features at least one to two “formal” nights that we call Evening Chic. Evening Chic means you dress to impress, glamorous and sophisticated in your own way, with a cocktail dress, skirt, slacks, or designer jeans, an elegant dress top, or blazer—some guests even pack a tuxedo or gown for onboard photos.

The daily program, delivered to your stateroom and available at the Guest Relations Desk, will be your guide to the correct attire each evening. If you do not wish to participate in Evening Chic, Smart Casual attire is acceptable for dining and attending the theater.

Yes, all of our Pacific Northwest itineraries include ports of call outside of the U.S.. You could visit Victoria and Vancouver in Canada or Ensenada in Mexico, depending on your itinerary.

The best time to explore the West Coast is spring, summer, and fall, when the weather is generally good. In spring and fall, places like Los Angeles and San Diego are pleasant, rather than hot, and you should have ideal conditions for hiking, strolling around cities, and even sunbathing.

Our cruises along the West Coast last for either six or seven nights.

On any Pacific Coastal cruise, you’ll see a wonderful combination of vibrant cities and beautiful landscapes.

San Francisco is famous for many things: the Golden Gate Bridge, vintage cable cars, Alcatraz, museums, and Fisherman’s Wharf. In Seattle, don’t miss the colorful Pike Place Market, or a trip up the Space Needle. Pretty Victoria is known for its colonial charm and the glorious colors of Butchart Gardens, while elegant Santa Barbara is famed for its whitewashed architecture, Mission Santa Barbara, and beautiful beaches. In San Diego, you could visit the impressive zoo, or explore the city’s culinary scene.

You’ll have a chance to be immersed in nature, too. Catalina Island has wonderful hiking, eco-adventures, boat tours, and even a chance to spot the herd of bison that lives wild here. Astoria, on the edge of the forested, misty Pacific Northwest, is a great place for cycling and hiking, as well as learning about the epic expedition of Lewis and Clark. In contrast, sunny Ensenada is the place to head for the beach or inland for hiking and wine tasting.

We offer a wide range of excursions to suit every taste. You can join a hike in Catalina Island or Ensenada and go cycling in Astoria. From San Francisco, you could take a tour to Sausalito and Muir Woods, or to Sonoma Wine Country for a tasting.

In San Diego, you can embark on a food tour of Little Italy or a night-time ghost tour. In Seattle, you could head out of town to sample wine in Washington State’s vineyards, or take a Grand City Tour by Land and Sea. Essentially, you will find a shore excursion to suit your tastes, whether your interest is history and architecture, wildlife, food and wine, or nature and activity.

Our Pacific Coastal itineraries have either one or two days at sea, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the ship.

You’ll find a wonderful choice of activities during these sea days. Relax by the pool or join a workout class in the Fitness Center. Listen to live music or try a wine tasting. Sample delightful dishes from all the different restaurants on board, which range from poolside made-to-order burgers and salads to delicious sushi, contemporary Italian, and clean cuisine in Blu. On Celebrity Eclipse, lie back on the soft grass of the Lawn Club or challenge friends to a game of croquet. In the evenings, you’ll find glittering entertainment in The Theatre, as well as late-night dancing.

On any of our ships, elevate your experience at The Retreat®, which gives you suite accommodation and access to a luxurious lounge as well as the fine dining restaurant Luminae at The Retreat.

You’ll find no shortage of things to do on board your luxurious Celebrity ship. Sunbathe by the pool, relax in a bubbling hot tub, join a class in the Fitness Center, or indulge in a treatment in the spa. 

Enjoy exploring all the different dining options, from made-to-order burgers and salads by the pool to French classics and a delightful 3D cartoon animation in Le Petit Chef, and steaks and seafood in the elegant Tuscan Grille. Elevate your experience to The Retreat and you can enjoy fine dining in Luminae, as well as suite accommodation and access to an exclusive lounge.

On Edge-Series ships, the Magic Carpet, suspended over the side of the ship, gives you uninterrupted sea views and is the perfect place to sit with a coffee or cocktail, enjoying the sea air. Or spend part of your Panama Canal transit in the Sunset Bar, at the aft of the ship, for wonderful views of the ships following you.
