Redwood & Gold Coast – Victoria & San Francisco

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 6-night sailing from Vancouver on October 12, 2026 visits Victoria, San Francisco and Los Angeles. You get off in Los Angeles, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Vancouver, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Craft coffee in one port, old-growth forest in the next. The West Coast has its own rhythm. Don't rush through Victoria, which is known as English gardens on Canada's Pacific coast. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Encore has 20 dining spots on board, most of them included. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 3 ports across 6 nights covers a lot.
