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.
If you feel like being pampered…
Everything you need to refresh body and mind is right on board. Indulge in a manicure, pedicure or a makeover in the salon, or a soothing massage in the Lotus Spa®. Or maybe it’s a brisk workout in the fitness center, followed by a little “me time” in The Sanctuary, a tranquil retreat reserved just for adults. For your comfort, the Ruby Princess offers...
As low as $978 per person interior cabin and $1288 per person balcony cabin, both based on two occupants per room. Single rooms are available for as low as $1617 for an interior cabin and $2237 for a balcony cabin. Prices increase if you want to pick your exact stateroom. These fares do not include excursions, gratuities, Internet, or drink packages, each of which will incur additional charges.
Consider purchasing the Princess Plus Package ($60/day) which includes gratuities, Internet, and the non-premium drink package. Again, excursions incur additional charges.
To be part of this MAX travel group, all bookings are to be made through our travel agent David Petlin (contact information below). Sorry, neither MAX nor David will be providing a singles roommate matching service.
