Let’s sail away to the Pacific Northwest Coast for a 7-day round-trip sailing out of SAN FRANCISCO (that’s right, no air fare needed!) on board the beautiful Ruby Princess. We will sail away to beautiful Victoria, British Columbia; Vancouver, B.C.; and Seattle, before returning to San Francisco.
During our port visits, you may book excursions that range from the world-famous ‘Butchart Gardens’ in Victoria; to Grouse Mountain just north of Vancouver; Stanley Park, a lush rain forest in the middle of Vancouver; Pike Place Market in Seattle; city tours; and excursions to many other attractions. As part of this cruise, we will also have three fun days at sea.
On board the Ruby Princess - each day, a world of exciting activities awaits, from cooking demonstrations to dance classes, trivia contests and a range of enrichment programs, including the Encounters with Discovery at SEA™ speaker series from experts who offer insights into the places you’ll visit. The ship features:
- The Piazza – The majestic grand atrium – the stunning centerpiece of the ship(possibly featuring live music, performances, cocktail and food demonstrations)
- Princess Theater
- Skywalkers Nightclub
- Shops of Princess
- Art Gallery & Auctions
- Photo & Video Gallery
- Freshwater Pools & Hot Tubs
- Sports Court (basketball, volleyball, tennis)
- Princess Links (putting course)
During at sea days, those interested can join MAX with the LGBTQ+ Group for cocktails (socializing) before heading to one of the main dining rooms as a group. Times and details to follow.
