Greater Victoria looks and feels like no other place. A beautiful inner harbor nestled beside a city rich with history and architecture, manicured gardens, friendly locals, eclectic neighborhoods and nature at every turn. The minute you arrive, you’ll understand. Whether it’s watching wildlife at play, wandering through alleyways, or dining at stylish cafes, bars and restaurants, booking an extra few days will give you the chance to embrace all that Victoria has to offer.

08/30/2019

Sophisticated yet laid-back, filled with rejuvenating outdoor adventures and luxurious places to unwind, Los Cabos is a special destination. It's easy to reach from the West Coast and yet feels a world away — perched on the very tip of the 1,000-mile-long Baja Peninsula. This is where the desert meets the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean; where two cities — Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo — are only 20 miles apart yet tell dramatically different stories. Designed for romance and family fun, relaxation and adventure, each day in Los Cabos is more rewarding than you can imagine. We're sharing a few of our favorite hotels and cruises that can help you experience this destination at http://bit.ly/2ZEvMFy
