San Francisco, California Luxury Cruises

San Francisco has a popular reputation as one of the world’s most progressive cities, and it truly has a vibrant and cosmopolitan feel. Take the time to explore on foot, if you feel up to the challenge of the famous hilled streets, and you’ll delight in the colour and vibrancy of the amazing shopping and dining venues that line the streets. And of course, the city is home to the Golden Gate Bridge, one of the world’s most iconic landmarks that you’ll no doubt be awe-struck by.

Yet there’s so much more to San Francisco, with truly something for everyone. Alcatraz, the island prison, was once the home of legendary gangsters and now makes for a fascinating tour, while if you head to Muir Woods you’ll see the world’s tallest trees with redwoods towering high above you. Pier 39 is a hotbed of great food, and also the place to spot sea lions out in the ocean, while the nearby Sonoma and Napa Valley wine countries are home to 400 wineries, with ample opportunity to sample their wares.

The currency in San Francisco is the US Dollar. San Francisco is 7 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT -7).
