San Diego, USA
San Diego is the second biggest city in California and is often described as `America’s Finest City´ due to the high quality of life here. Before embarking MS Roald Amundsen, we recommend visiting Balboa Park´s museums, art galleries, and beautiful gardens.
LA is known for the beach life in Santa Monica and Venice Beach, for its many theme parks and of course for Hollywood, the film industry’s mecca. Spend the day enjoying the metropolis’ many attractions or join the Expedition Team to discover some of the natural gems of the area.
In the afternoon, we arrive in Monterey, a picturesque small town known for its beautifully renovated buildings, Cannery Row and Fisherman’s Wharf. Spend the afternoon and evening in downtown Monterey, wander through the historic quarter or join one of our optional excursions offering iconic California experiences.
Enjoy a full day in San Francisco! Take a cable car ride to climb the steep hills, enjoy Victorian architecture, visit the Golden Gate Bridge or Alcatraz, and enjoy the city´s incredible food scene. Our optional excursion programme will take you to the city´s top sights and hidden treasures.
Days at sea mean you can join the Expedition Team for interesting lectures, learn the basics of expedition photography, and spend time out on deck enjoying the fresh salt air as you scout for wildlife. Of course, there’s also plenty time to chat with fellow explorers.
We will have a full day here to discover Seattle´s sights at your leisure or join one of our optional excursions. Visit the Pike Place Market and the iconic Space Needle. Seattle is often referred to as the `Emerald City´ due to the nearby evergreen forest. There will also be opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors.
In the morning, we arrive in beautiful Vancouver, Bristish Colombia, Canada. After disembarkation we transfer you to your hotel for the overnight stay.
