Destinations in the Pacific Ocean

Northeast Pacific
The Northeast Pacific Ocean lies off the coasts of Alaska, Canada and the United States. Cruise along the Inside Passage, a 500-mile stretch of water which takes you past vast mountains and spectacular glaciers and the islands off British Columbia.

Galapagos
Located in the South Pacific, these islands lie off the coast of Ecuador and are a designated National Park. Celebrated for their remarkable biodiversity, the Galápagos Islands host a diverse array of plant and animal species found nowhere else on the planet. As you explore these volcanic islands, you’ll encounter the iconic Galápagos Giant Tortoises, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and other unique species.

Southeast Pacific

South America’s extraordinary diversity in landscapes, wildlife, and history makes it a vibrant and thrilling region to explore. Explore the continent’s west coast, from Panama and its famous canal to the stunning Chilean Fjords. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even venture away from the coast to visit the immense Lake Titicaca or the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu.

When to visit the Pacific Ocean

The ideal time of the year to visit the Pacific Ocean depends on whether you’re heading for the North, the South or the Galapagos.

In Alaska, this the best opportunity for spotting wildlife, or taking part in offshore sightseeing such as whale watching. This is also a great time to visit British Columbia, including Vancouver and the Inside Passage

Regarding the climate, the Galapagos experience two primary seasons: cool and dry (June to November) and warm and wet (December to May). August and September bring the coolest temperatures and the roughest seas, but many cruises still operate during this period The warmer season is ideal for diving, as the waters are calmer, and visibility is better.
