A Napali Coast cruise brings you to the cathedral ridges of Kauai’s North Shore, an area with extraordinary scenery best viewed by water or air. Secure a spot on our spacious decks to breathe in the salty air and take in one of the world’s most dramatic shorelines. On your Napali Coast tour, you will see waterfalls trickling into lush valleys and golden stretches of sand. The cliffs are stunning, rich burgundy at the base and vivid green at the top. Awa’awa’puhi, Pirates Cave Waterfall and Hanakapiai are some of Kauai’s most famous falls. Look for movie spots, such as the Honopu arch. At 60 ft high, it’s the largest natural arch in the islands and separates two sandy coves. Watercrafts are not allowed to land on these two beaches—they are only accessible by swimming, a treacherous journey. Bring binoculars to glimpse secret coves, sea caves and rare monk seals laying out on the sand.  Look for bottlenose and spinner dolphins, who swim in large pods. Sit back and enjoy the Garden Island’s spectacular show.

From ice-blue glaciers to beluga whales and the famous bore tide, a single cruise to Anchorage, Alaska will considerably shorten any nature-lover’s bucket list.

Astoria is awash in raffish port-town charm, making it a popular stop on cruises to the West Coast. For a city of just 10,000, there’s much to do. Climb its famed column to see a panorama of water and woods. Trolley the Riverwalk and feast on fresh seafood.
