Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Step inside America's most legendary federal penitentiary on a private-access visit to Alcatraz Island. Walk the chilling cellblocks, hear the stories of daring escape attempts, and soak in sweeping Bay views — an absolute bucket-list icon.
Explore San Francisco's most iconic neighborhoods — Chinatown, North Beach, the Painted Ladies, and the Ferry Building — in a private chauffeured tour led by a seasoned local expert. Every stop, every story, curated entirely for you.
Stand beneath 1,000-year-old coastal redwoods — the tallest living things on Earth — in the cathedral silence of Muir Woods National Monument. A short drive from the port, it is one of California's most transcendent natural experiences.
Escape to Napa Valley's sun-drenched vineyards for an intimate, private tasting journey through world-class boutique wineries. Savor reserve Cabernets and barrel samples unavailable to the public, paired with artisan cheese and charcuterie.
Cycle across one of the world's most iconic structures — the Golden Gate Bridge — then coast down into the charming waterfront village of Sausalito, returning to San Francisco by scenic ferry. A perfect blend of exhilaration and bay-front beauty.
Glide beneath the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz Island on an exclusive private yacht charter as the setting sun turns San Francisco Bay molten gold. The most glamorous way to bid the city farewell before returning to ship.
