From Hollywood Sparkle to Golden Gate Wonders: Experience the Best of the West Coast by Sea

Your Gateway to America's Golden Coast: Effortless Exploration, Unforgettable Style

For the discerning UK traveller seeking a holiday that blends iconic landmarks with sun-drenched relaxation and seamless luxury, look no further than a captivating cruise along the USA's magnificent West Coast. Imagine waking up each morning to a breath-taking new vista – the vibrant energy of Los Angeles, the iconic sweep of the Golden Gate Bridge, the charming coastal beauty of Santa Barbara – all without the hassle of constant packing and unpacking, or navigating unfamiliar roads.

At Ponteland Travel, we specialise in crafting exceptional travel experiences. We believe a USA West Coast cruise offers a unique and compelling way to explore this dazzling region, combining the ease of luxury cruising with access to some of America's most celebrated destinations.

Why Choose a Luxury West Coast Cruise?

• Iconic Destinations, Unpacked Just Once: This is the heart of the appeal. Your elegant floating hotel transports you effortlessly between legendary ports. Explore the glamour of Los Angeles, walk the Hollywood Walk of Fame, or discover world-class museums. Be captivated by San Francisco's unique charm, ride a cable car, visit Alcatraz, and sail beneath the majestic Golden Gate Bridge. Depending on your chosen itinerary, you might also discover the Spanish-influenced beauty of San Diego, the artistic enclave of Santa Barbara, the historic waterfront of Astoria, Oregon, or even dip into the vineyards of nearby wine country on a perfectly arranged shore excursion.

• The Ultimate in Seamless Travel: Forget the complexities of multi-city road trips or domestic flights. On a cruise, your journey between destinations becomes part of the luxurious experience. Settle into your beautifully appointed stateroom or suite, savour world-class cuisine, enjoy onboard entertainment, or simply relax by the pool as the stunning Pacific coastline glides by. We handle all the intricate details, including your flights from the UK, transfers, and any pre- or post-cruise arrangements, ensuring a truly stress-free holiday from start to finish.

• A Feast for the Senses: The West Coast offers incredible diversity. From the rugged, dramatic coastline of the Pacific Coast Highway (viewed uniquely from the sea!) to the rolling hills of wine country accessible from port, the scenery is constantly evolving and consistently spectacular. Ashore, indulge in diverse culinary scenes, from fresh Californian cuisine to sophisticated city dining.

• Luxury Tailored to You: The world's finest cruise lines ply these waters, offering varying levels of intimacy, service, and style. Whether you prefer a larger vessel brimming with entertainment options or a more intimate, yacht-like experience focusing on gourmet dining and personalised service, we will match you with the perfect ship and itinerary. Enjoy spacious accommodations, attentive service, premium beverages, enrichment programmes, and indulgent spa facilities.

• Beyond the Ports – Curated Experiences: A cruise provides the perfect base for exploration. We can arrange exclusive, tailored shore excursions beyond the standard offerings – perhaps a private wine tasting in Napa or Sonoma (accessible from San Francisco), a behind-the-scenes studio tour in LA, a private guided tour of Alcatraz, or a scenic helicopter ride over the coastline.
