A cruise in the United States can take many forms: sailing from Florida to the Caribbean, cruising past Alaska's glaciers, arriving in New York through the bay, calling at a California port between the ocean and the hills, or traveling between the Hawaiian Islands.
The destination is defined by striking contrasts, from iconic cities, national parks, historic ports, coastal roads, beaches, and cultural districts to spectacular scenery. Depending on the region, the experience can be family-friendly, awe-inspiring, urban, beach-focused, premium, or centered on relaxed exploration.

In the United States, hotspots vary greatly depending on the coast you choose. That variety lets you select a region based on the trip you want: beaches and large ships, glaciers, iconic cities, national parks, or a Pacific archipelago.
Miami
Embarkation pairs easily with South Beach, Wynwood, Little Havana, or an extension in the Keys.
New York
Sailing into or out of the bay remains one of the most spectacular moments of an urban cruise.
Seattle
The city serves as a major gateway to Alaska, with Pike Place Market, the waterfront, and mountain views.

From the ship's deck in Alaska
Glaciers, fjords, and snowcapped mountains create striking images without ever leaving the ship.
In San Francisco Bay
The Golden Gate, Alcatraz, and the skyline create an instantly recognizable arrival.
Facing Manhattan
The Statue of Liberty, skyscrapers, and bridges make for a spectacular arrival on the East Coast.

Miami, Key West, and Port Canaveral combine beaches, Art Deco architecture, parks, Latin Caribbean culture, and major cruise departures.
California
San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco offer three very different ways to experience the Pacific.
Hawaii
Honolulu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island make for a more island-focused cruise, with surfing, volcanoes, beaches, and Polynesian traditions.

Sail through Alaska among glaciers, fjords, and northern villages
Alaska often stands out as the most spectacular U.S. cruise experience. Travelers remember long hours on deck, glaciers, mountains, possible seasonal whale sightings, and small port towns that create a true end-of-the-world feeling.
Sail from Florida for the classic Caribbean cruise experience
Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Port Canaveral are popular because they make a cruise easy to organize. Travelers enjoy arriving a few days before departure, spending time at the beach or a park, and then boarding a vacation-focused ship bound for the Caribbean.
Sail into New York or San Francisco
Major U.S. cities take on another dimension when seen from the water. Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate, and Alcatraz give arrivals and departures a distinctive intensity, very different from arriving by plane.
Have coffee at Pike Place Market before boarding in Seattle
Before an Alaska cruise, Seattle offers a pleasant transition northward. Travelers enjoy browsing Pike Place Market's stalls, having coffee overlooking the waterfront, and beginning the trip in a setting with more local flavor than the cruise terminal.
Linger in Key West among wooden houses at sunset
Key West appeals because it is unlike Florida's major ports. Travelers enjoy its low-rise streets, tropical houses, small local spots, docks, and end-of-the-road atmosphere, which gives the port call a slower, more personal feel.
Try a lobster roll in Bar Harbor after visiting Acadia
In New England, Bar Harbor pairs nature and local cuisine beautifully. Travelers enjoy heading to Acadia's viewpoints, then returning to port for a lobster roll or a break overlooking the boats, all in a small seaside-town atmosphere.
A trip to the United States inevitably includes a visit to New York, the country's iconic city affectionately known as the Big Apple. Each of the city's neighborhoods is unique. Little Italy takes you straight to the Mediterranean, while Chinatown plunges you into the magical world of the Orient. In Manhattan, you'll discover New York's rich architectural heritage, where contemporary constructions stand side by side with centuries-old buildings. The New York Public Library, the Museum of Modern Art and the Chrysler Building are just some of the architectural feats you can admire on the streets of New York. The shopping mecca, Soho, with its many commercial galleries, is a delight for the fashion-conscious. Are you passionate about music? A trip to New York won't disappoint. Between attending a concert on Broadway, listening to gospel music in Harlem or enjoying jazz at the Lenox Lounge or the Iridium Jazz Club, you won't have time to get bored.
Los Angeles, California, is another must-see when visiting the USA. The city is best known for its Hollywood glitz and glamour. Take advantage of your stay in this city of angels to immerse yourself in film culture with a visit to Warner Bros and Universal Studios. You can also follow in the footsteps of celebrities on a stroll along the famous Walk of Fame. Before leaving Los Angeles, be sure to visit the Getty Museum. In addition to its varied collections, the museum's main attraction is its gardens on Brentwood Hill, offering panoramic views of the entire city. Treat yourself to a relaxing interlude on Malibu or Venice Beach.
Chicago in the Midwest is a far cry from the glitz and glamour of California and the hustle and bustle of New York. Here, the stars are the Drake Hotel, John Hancock Center, Water Tower, Pumping Station, Tribune Tower and Wrigley Building, buildings that date back centuries. Strolling through Grand Park and Navy Pier, which runs alongside Lake Michigan, or getting lost in one of the city's 46 museums, are other activities you can enjoy during your stay in Chicago.
The U.S. is very busy during the summer months. If you want to avoid the crowds, especially when visiting the national parks, it's best to plan your trip earlier, in early spring, or later, in autumn. October is the perfect time to visit the Great Lakes region, which turn golden during this autumn season. If you want to make the most of the beach and the bustle of California's southern coast, plan your trip between June and September.
