Cruise Highlights

Card Player Cruises invites you to visit these exotic ports with us!

Seattle, Washington: Famously rainy and picturesque, Seattle sits on Puget Sound against a spectacular mountain backdrop. Soak up the city's scene in one the many coffeehouses or head down to the lively Pike Place Market to feast on artisanal and local foods.

Astoria, Oregon: Small-town pleasures define Astoria, which played a part in the American exploration of the West thanks to Lewis and Clark. You can explore nearby Mount St. Helens, walk the Astoria Bridge and fish for sturgeon and crab.

San Francisco, California: Picturesque, hilly San Francisco is a delight to explore, with colorful, distinct neighborhoods, Victorian heritage and high-tech chic. Be prepared for its famous microclimate, which can veer from summery to damp cold in one day.

Victoria, British Columbia: Located on the southern tip on the island of Vancouver in British Columbia, the city of Victoria is probably best known for its mild climate and active outdoor lifestyle. (In fact, the city has been named the "fittest city" in Canada more than once.) As the capital of British Columbia, the city is very tourist-friendly. Among the many attractions are world-famous gardens, its 150 years of British history, gourmet dining and fantastic shopping.
