Pacific Driftwood – Seattle, Astoria & Ensenada

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 9-night sailing from Vancouver on May 7, 2026 visits Seattle, Astoria, Santa Barbara CA, Ensenada, San Diego and Los Angeles. You wind up in Los Angeles, so it's worth planning a night or two there. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Pacific coastline, tall trees, and laid-back cities. The West Coast route has range. Santa Barbara CA stands out. It's Red-tile roofs and surf breaks on the American Riviera. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 11 restaurants on Coral Princess, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 9 nights. Vancouver itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
