From the golden sweep of California's Big Sur to the dramatic, lighthouse-dotted coast of Atlantic Canada, cruising North America and Canada delivers cinematic fall scenery, layered cultural heritage, and boundless marine life.
The Pacific Coast is everything you may have imagined and more. From its Gold Rush history – which left mining towns throughout California and Alaska – to its omnipresent vineyards, Hollywood dreams, white-sanded beaches, and forest-shrouded mountains, the entire West Coast is a vision to behold.
Eastward bound, the Atlantic Coast has another tale to tell. From its groundbreaking seafaring history and the Freedom Trail to its towering cliffs, plunging fjords, and intense tidal waves, this side of the continent has an altogether distinct vibe. From Maine to New York City to Nova Scotia, there is a palpable spirit of fierce independence and a rugged coastline to match.
Whether you choose clam chowder or lobster rolls, the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge, Los Angeles cinematics or New York theatrics, each coast offers its own unique history and cultural charm that you won’t soon forget.
