    Captain's Tip

    Your cruise departs from Vancouver, British Columbia on the Brilliant Lady, carrying thousands of passengers. Fly in the day before to protect against flight disruptions - the ship won't wait. If you're given an assigned boarding time, showing up earlier sometimes works but isn't guaranteed. Complete your online check-in before arrival. Enjoy local foods and handmade crafts while soaking up the island's artistic vibe.

    San Francisco charms with iconic hills, the Golden Gate Bridge, colorful neighborhoods, and a lively waterfront, perfect for a cruise stop full of energy.

    Captain's Tip

    With 16 hours hours in San Francisco, California - from 8:00 am to 11:59 pm - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. Stroll along the waterfront at Fishermans Wharf to see sea lions, browse shops, and savor local clam chowder.

    Santa Barbara welcomes cruisers with sunlit beaches, charming Spanish architecture, palm-lined streets, and a vibrant arts scene along the Pacific coast.

    Captain's Tip

    With 7 hours hours in Santa Barbara, California and the Brilliant Lady carrying over 2,000 passengers, time and transportation will be tight. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the best move - priority disembarkation and a guaranteed return to the ship. Don't leave this to chance. Walk along State Street to enjoy boutique shopping, local galleries, and a variety of cafes and restaurants.

    Avalon feels like a sunny California escape, clear water in the harbor, golf carts on hillside streets, and an easy island mood just an hour from the mainland.

    Captain's Tip

    The Brilliant Lady will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Avalon, Catalina Island, California. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Descanso Beach Club is Avalon's most popular place to relax by the water.

    San Diego sets the tone with ocean sunshine, laid back surf culture, palm lined bays, and a city that blends beaches, history, and easy California living.

    Captain's Tip

    Your ship arrives in San Diego, California at 8:00 am, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. The Embarcadero is a scenic stretch along the bay where cruise guests can walk past parks, museums, and marinas filled with sailboats and naval ships.

    Captain's Tip

    Your cruise ends in Los Angeles, California, where the Brilliant Lady is scheduled to dock at 6:30 am. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Strolling along Hollywood Boulevard, visitors can see stars embedded in the sidewalk honoring famous entertainers.
