Your tour includes Golden Gate Park, Twin Peaks, Fisherman’s Wharf, and much more. Afterward, sit back and relax as you enjoy a CRUISE across San Francisco Bay. This afternoon, enjoy free time for pursuing your favorite interests and activities—ride the world famous cable cars, shop in Union Square, or stroll around Chinatown. (B)
Day 3 San Francisco–Carmel–Monterey. (Sun.)
Travel south to the rugged beauty of the Monterey Peninsula. Enjoy a visit to the lovely town of Carmel, a popular retreat for writers, artists, and celebrities. A highlight of today’s journey is the spectacular 17-MILE DRIVE to Monterey, with views of Cypress Point, famous Pebble Beach golf course, and the tenacious Lone Cypress. The ocean canyon surrounding Monterey Bay is deeper than the Grand Canyon and harbors a rich variety of sea life, which can be seen this afternoon at MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM. Here you can explore the hidden world of this spectacular ocean realm at the heart of the nation’s largest marine sanctuary. The exhibits re-create the bay’s habitats, from shallow tide pools to the open ocean and deep sea. (B)

This morning, journey to San Simeon and visit HEARST CASTLE, the opulent mansion of the wealthy newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst, which houses splendid antiques, art treasures, and exotic possessions purchased at an estimated $50 million. The tour shows off the highlights of the impressive 123-acre estate. Then travel through the Santa Ynez Mountains to your resort hotel in Santa Barbara. (B,D)

This evening, enjoy dinner aboard one of the most famous ships in history, the RMS QUEEN MARY. (B,D)
Day 6 Long Beach. Cruise to Catalina Island. (Wed.)
A leisurely morning CRUISE across 26-mile San Pedro Channel to beautiful CATALINA ISLAND. Once a ritzy playground for the rich in the 1930s and ‘40s, Catalina Island today is a casual and laid back destination. Enjoy a guided tour of the island before plenty of time to stroll the quaint streets of the Mediterranean-flavored port town of Avalon. Perhaps have lunch before heading back to Long Beach.

Take some time to walk along the ancient cloisters amid the time-softened beauty of old adobe buildings. Continue to San Diego for a city sightseeing tour. (B)
Day 8 San Diego. (Fri.)
A free day to choose your activity. Maybe visit SeaWorld® and get face to face with polar bears, feed dolphins, and get splashed by Shamu.
