Once a near-forgotten colonial outpost, the pueblo metamorphosed into an agrarian paradise before reinventing itself as a movie colony. Perhaps no other city owes so much to the technological innovations of the 20th century, from the automobile to the airplane. Little wonder that LA is oft described as the "dream machine." In LA, reinvention is a way of life. Yet this talent for change has created a city with a rich ethnic diversity and... ### Day 2: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 3: San Francisco, California **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM Cable cars, the Golden Gate rising from the fog - welcome to San Francisco, arguably the most romantic and cosmopolitan city in the United States. San Francisco has it all: a colorful history, superb restaurants, sophisticated museums, world-class shopping, and that elusive air of romance and abandon that's part of the tang of the city. ### Day 4: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 5: Victoria, Canada **Arrives:** 03:00 PM · **Departs:** 11:30 PM Victoria exudes old-world charm and fragrant, colorful flowers are everywhere. Founded in 1843 by James Douglas of the Hudson's Bay Company, the city was first known as Fort Victoria. By 1848, Vancouver Island was a British colony and Victoria was its capital. In 1858, Victoria was a tent city and the base for some 25,000 prospectors on their way to the Frasier River gold fields. When Vancouver Island was incorporated with mainland British Columbia in 1868, Victoria became the capital of the ... ### Day 6: Vancouver **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM Vancouver, a bustling west coast seaport in British Columbia, is among Canada’s densest, most ethnically diverse cities. A popular filming location, it’s surrounded by mountains, and also has thriving art, theatre and music scenes. Vancouver Art Gallery is known for its works by regional artists, while the Museum of Anthropology houses preeminent First Nations collections. ### Day 7: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 8: Wrangell, Alaska **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM ### Day 9: Juneau **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 09:00 PM In 1880, it was slow going for Joe Juneau and Richard Harris as they searched for gold with the help of Native guides. After climbing mountains, forging streams and facing countless difficulties, they found nuggets "as large as beans." From their discovery came three of the largest gold mines in the world. By the end of World War II, more than $150 million in gold had been mined. Eventually the mines closed, but the town Joe Juneau founded became the capital of Alaska and the business of gold... ### Day 10: Hubbard Glacier (Scenic Cruising), Alaska **Arrives:** 03:00 PM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM Nicknamed the "Galloping Glacier," this east Alaskan glacier is rapidly advancing toward the Gulf of Alaska into a pristine area known as Disenchantment Bay. In fact, its movement temporarily formed a natural dam that twice closed off nearby Russell Fjord from the bay, but the intense water pressure building within the fjord-turned-lake has thus far been enough to explode through the wall of ice. The largest tidewater glacier in North America, Hubbard Glacier measures 76 miles long and plunge... ### Day 11: College Fjord (Scenic Cruising) **Arrives:** 06:00 PM · **Departs:** 08:30 PM Discovered in the northwest corner of Prince William Sound during an 1899 research expedition, spectacular College Fjord and its glaciers were named after prestigious east coast schools by the college professors who first laid eyes upon their majesty. Stretching for miles, these massive rivers of ice tumble down from mountains and through valleys, dipping into the pristine waters of the fjord. There you'll have a chance to watch the awe-inspiring process of glaciers calving, or dropping enormous... ### Day 12: Anchorage (Whittier), Alaska **Arrives:** 12:30 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Whittier, approximately 65 miles southeast of Anchorage, lies nestled at the base of the Chugach Mountains bordering Passage Canal. Established as a World War II port for cargo and troops of the Alaska Command, Whittier remained activated until 1960. Today, Whittier's economy and its 290 residents rely largely on the fishing industry, the port and, increasingly, on tourism. Once accessible only by boat or via a war-era railway tunnel, The Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel was recently enhanced t... ### Day 13: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 14: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 15: Cross International Date Line **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ### Day 16: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 17: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 18: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 19: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 20: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 21: Tokyo **Arrives:** 06:30 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM ### Day 22: Shimizu **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 02:00 PM Sprawling, semi-rural Shimizu Ward is dominated by forested coastal mountains, with hiking trails and ropeway rides to dramatic viewpoints above Suruga Bay. Miho Beach Park is popular for swimming and water sports in summer, and there are baseball and soccer fields nearby, plus an aquarium at the Marine Science Center. ### Day 23: Osaka **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 09:00 PM For centuries, Osaka was Japan's cultural and commercial gateway to Asia - the point of entry both for trade goods and, most importantly, cultural influences that shaped Japanese society. From tea to Zen, from art to science and philosophy, Osaka was Japan's contact with the great East Asian cultures that flourished in China and Korea. The city reached its zenith in the late 16th century, when the great feudal lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi made Osaka his capital. Toyotomi was master of Japan, and an i... ### Day 24: Kochi **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 03:00 PM Kochi sits on the broad alluvial plain facing Urado Bay. This city in Shikoku takes its name from the great feudal castle that sits at its very heart. Completed in 1611, Kochi Castle was the seat of Yamauchi Kazutoyo, a noted warrior who supported Tokugawa Ieyasu in his successful quest to become Shogun. Tosa Province and Kochi Castle were Yamauchi's reward for faithful service. There is an historical irony here: 250 years later, a Kochi native son - a former low-ranked samurai and now ronin nam... ### Day 25: Kagoshima **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM From the 12th century to the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Kagoshima was the chief stronghold of the mighty Shimazu clan. The city lies at the top of the Satsuma Peninsula, a mountainous, geothermal wonderland of hot springs and geysers. The area is also rich in modern Japanese history: Saigo Takamori and the Satsuma samurai were leaders of the Meiji Restoration that toppled the shogun and restored the Emperor to power in 1868. In 1877, dissatisfied with the direction of the new government, Saigo l... ### Day 26: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 27: Ishigaki **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM The balmy, subtropical climate draws countless visitors to its sandy shores, but Ishigaki offers much more than your typical island getaway. It is the cultural, political and economic center of the Yaeyama Islands, originally founded in 1908 as Yaeyama Village and becoming Ishigaki Town in 1926. Ishigaki was elevated to city status on July 10, 1947. A hilltop Shinto shrine which dates back to 1614 is the perfect place to start your exploration of this lovely town. Noted for its white-sand beache... ### Day 28: Taipei (Keelung) **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM The oldest Chinese reference to Taiwan dates back to the Han Dynasty in the 3rd century B.C. However, it wasn't until the 17th century A.D. that Chinese Hakka traders first settled on the island. These bold merchants were soon followed by European and Asian adventurers seeking to control and colonize the strategic island. The most famous migration of all occurred in 1948, when the government of the Republic of China fled the mainland. Taipei is one of the world's most important commercial cen... ### Day 29: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 30: Hong Kong **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Skyscrapers form a glistening forest of steel and glass, junks and sampans ply the busy harbor waters, and the green, dragon-crested hills of Kowloon beckon.

Today, the name of this bustling metropolis on the Mekong River is Ho Chi Minh City. Yet, the essence of the city, a major trading center since the 18th century, remains unchanged. The air is filled with the cries of street hawkers and honking horns. Bicycles, motorbikes and automobiles fly down the boulevards at dizzying speeds. And everywhere, friendly faces and warm greetings meet you. The port of Phu My (p... ### Day 35: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 36: Singapore **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 11:59 PM Singapore - the very name summons visions of the mysterious East. The commercial center of Southeast Asia, this island city-state of four million people is a metropolis of modern high-rise buildings, Chinese shop-houses with red-tiled roofs, sturdy Victorian buildings, Buddhist temples and Arab bazaars. Founded in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles of the fabled East India Company, the city is a melting pot of people and cultures. Malay, Chinese, English and Tamil are official languages.

And Balinese dance, with its angular movements and rhythms, ... ### Day 41: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 42: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 43: Darwin **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 10:00 PM Closer to Indonesia than to any other Australian city, Darwin is the capital of the "Top End" - the remote, vast Northern Territory. Home to more than half of the territory's population, the city reflects the rugged endurance and individualism required to survive the Outback.
