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.
Soar above the City of Angels on a private helicopter tour, taking in the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, Santa Monica Pier, and the glittering Pacific coastline in one breathtaking sweep. The ultimate bucket-list perspective on one of the world's great cities.
Step behind the gates of one of Hollywood's most storied studios for a VIP walk through the actual sets, props, and costumes of the films and TV shows that defined global pop culture. Unmissable for any lover of cinema.
Go beyond the exhibits at one of North America's finest aquariums with a private behind-the-scenes experience — feeding sharks, touching sea jellies, and standing backstage with marine biologists. Just minutes from the cruise terminal.
Join a celebrated local chef at the legendary Wednesday or Saturday Santa Monica Farmers Market — one of the finest in the US — for a private guided tasting and cooking class that captures the true flavor of California. A truly sensory bucket-list morning.
Stand before the iconic Griffith Observatory — LA's greatest public monument — with a private naturalist guide, then hike the Hollywood Hills for the most photographed view on Earth: the Hollywood Sign at arm's reach. Utterly bucket-list.
Charter a luxury sailing yacht for a private sunset cruise to Santa Catalina Island — the jewel of the Southern California coast — with snorkeling in crystal-clear kelp forest waters and a champagne toast as the sun dissolves into the Pacific.
