DAY 01 - 04: SAN FRANCISCO, USA
San Francisco, known as the 'City by the Bay' is arguably the most cosmopolitan and bohemian city in America. It is also one of the most beautiful, with its pretty houses and hilly streets providing breathtaking views of the bay and the famous Golden Gate Bridge. Whilst San Francisco is “big” in terms of attractions and amenities, it is geographically small – only 49 square miles, making it very easy to see and do a great many things in a short period of time - the perfect Twin or Multi-Centre destination.
So whether you are gazing in awe at the Golden Gate bridge, taking a ride on one of the iconic Cable Cars, soaking up the vibe on Fisherman's Wharf, or visiting the notorious former prison of Alcatraz, you will find something of interest around every corner of San Francisco.

DAY 08: PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO
Puerto Vallarta was sleepy no more; its transformation into an international resort had begun. Then director John Huston chose the village as the location for his film "Night of the Iguana," starring Richard Burton. Today, the city has its own "Gringo Gulch," a haunt of the rich and famous. Travellers are also drawn by its climate, its excellent shopping - which offers great values on leather goods, jewellery, and handicrafts - and mile after mile of palm-lined beaches.
DAY 09: MANZANILLO, MEXICO
Manzanillo's history as a resort on the Mexican Riviera is brief. But the port's history is as old as the Spanish conquest of Mexico. Cortes first espied the harbour in 1522, when he chose the bay as the site for a shipyard. The city's maritime heritage continues to this day: Manzanillo is the largest commercial port on Mexico's Pacific Coast. What draws travellers, however, is the bay's scenic beauty: jungle-laden mountains rise above rocky coves and golden-sand beaches. The offshore waters offer superb diving - and some of the finest fishing in the world.
DAY 10: MAZATLAN, MEXICO
Lying just below the Tropic of Cancer, Mazatlan boasts a superb year-round climate. Mazatlan, a name that means "Place of the Deer," sits on a peninsula at the feet of the rugged Sierra Madre, and the Cerro de Neveria - "Ice Box Hill" - divides the area's rocky Pacific beaches from the broad, white-sand beaches beloved by visitors. The climate, the beaches, and the world-class sportfishing have turned this commercial fishing port into one of the world's top resort destinations. Yet while visitors flock to the markets, bathe in the sun, or marvel at the airborne ballet of the famed Papantla dancers, Mazatlan remains one of Mexico's major Pacific ports - the city exports over 40 million pounds of shrimp every year.
DAY 11: CABO SAN LUCAS, MEXICO
Millennia ago, Cabo San Lucas was part of the Mexican mainland. Then a massive rupture of the San Andreas Fault sent the waters of the Pacific crashing into the newly formed depression, creating the Sea of Cortez and the Baja Peninsula. Lying at the very tip of Baja, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, Cabo San Lucas - or "Cabo" - is one of the premier resort destinations in the Western Hemisphere. Swim in the transparent waters, marvel at the wealth of marine life, relax on one of the white-sand beaches or try your hand at some of the finest sportfishing in the world.
DAY 12 - 13: DAYS AT SEA
Original musicals, dazzling magic shows, feature films, top comedians and nightclubs that get your feet movin’ and groovin’. There’s something happening around every corner; luckily, you have a whole cruise of days and nights to experience it all.
DAY 14: SAN FRANCISCO, USA
Fly home from San Francisco.
