Pacific Coastal Cruises are seasonal cruise itineraries that focus on the area between San Francisco, California and Vancouver, British Columbia. Most Coastal cruises are 7 days long and are most popular in April, when the cruise ships begin repositioning to Alaska and again in the fall, at the end of the Alaska season. Where your cruise begins or ends depends on the time of year you are sailing. Sail in April and you're likely to begin in Los Angeles or San Francisco. If you cruise in the fall, you'll embark in Vancouver. A Pacific Coastal cruise can be a cruise to itself visiting San Francisco, Vancouver, and Victoria; or it may be combined with a segment of an Alaskan cruise or a Panama Canal itinerary. In 2000, Royal Caribbean will begin offering a series of 3 and 4 night cruises from Seattle to Vancouver and Victoria as part of their Pacific Coastal Series. more
