Lost at the sea

Can you time-travel on a cruise? We would have to answer... "Not really, but also kind of yes!" That's because when you cross the International Date Line — located at the Pacific Ocean's own longitude 180° — you're sailing back in time. (Or forward, depending on which direction you're headed.) It instantly becomes yesterday or tomorrow, a full 24-hour jump, and just for a moment you're not in either the Eastern or Western hemispheres. On the ship, we mark this occasion with a unique ceremony, and you'll head home with a certificate to prove you experienced it.

There aren’t many more beautiful places in the word than Moorea, and a Moorea cruise allows you to discover why. A Moorea cruise to the island that sits just north of Tahiti in French Polynesia is all about relaxation. The beautiful island is surrounded by a barrier reef, which means crystal clear waters, marine life like you’ve never seen before, and some of the best snorkeling in the world.

A Moorea cruise is also about experiencing the island itself. Moorea has some impressive natural landscapes and some of the best scenery in the region. Tall mountains and fields of tropical flowers make hiking a spectacular adventure at every turn. Visit Moorea and put a Transpacific cruise on your list today.

  • Snorkel the coral reefs.
  • Dive with the marine life.
  • Hike the natural beauty.

For one of the most memorable experiences at sea, this destination sure doesn't look like much! But crossing the invisible line of Earth's equator has long been a fun maritime tradition, celebrated everywhere from military vessels to the merchant marines... to, yes, even cruise ships. And when we say "long," this whole thing dates back to at least the 17th century, so this connects you to a tradition you can read about in history books. Speaking of tradition, your ship will be the site of a King Neptune ceremony, where all the pollywogs graduate to become trusty shellbacks, with the certificates to prove it. (Don't ask… just trust us on this one.)

Whether you’re on a cruise to Honolulu from the mainland, or a cruise from Honolulu, you’ll find yourself spellbound by this magical Pacific destination. Before or after your cruise, take the time to explore the historic port of Honolulu and its lively mix of world-class dining, perfect beaches and lush, tropical landscape. It’s hard to imagine a more picture-perfect holiday destination, and a cruise to Honolulu is an ideal way to experience it. Situated on the beautiful island of O’ahu, Honolulu invites you to stroll the fabled beaches of Waikiki under the protective watch of the ancient volcanic profile of Diamond Head... or visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, a 42-acre living museum of many South Pacific cultures. And be sure to stop off at the historic USS Arizona Memorial, an important landmark dedicated to those who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor.

  • Experience an authentic luau, complete with traditional imu ceremony.
  • Learn about Hawaiian life — and the larger ‘neighborhood’ of Polynesia — at the educational and entertaining Polynesian Cultural Center.
  • There’s more to Honolulu than great beaches — see the historic buildings that make up this bustling state capital.

Seaports have always been important throughout history… it’s about more than just the cargo, but the import and export of ideas. You could say that a city’s seaside status almost necessarily creates a crossroads of cultures. All that said, something sets San Francisco apart! Maybe it’s the year-round comfy weather that makes people want to spend their time outdoors, or perhaps it’s the spectacular food culture, or the history, or the hills, or the architecture. But one thing can be proven: San Francisco is beautiful, arguably the most romantic and cosmopolitan city in the U.S., and all of these elements go into the mix of making it a place you want to be, whether you know it or not. From the world’s most recognizable bridge, The Golden Gate, to the quirky, flower-lined Lombard Street… it’s no surprise that in SF even a former prison island — you knew we’re talking about Alcatraz, right? — ends up being an iconic destination.

  • Send yourself to Alcatraz — for a little bit — as you visit the island that housed not only the prison, but a bird sanctuary and the west coast’s first lighthouse.
  • Walk among the world’s tallest trees, between 500 and 700 years old, at Muir Woods National Monument.
  • Get some of the city’s best views of the skyline — plus, actually, sea lions — at Pier 39 near Fisherman’s Wharf.
  • Visit San Francisco’s amazing neighbors like the charming, arty Sausalito and the serene Napa Valley wine region.
