Sail through the dramatic fjords of Tracy Arm, where steep granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and drifting icebergs frame views of this striking tidewater glacier. The scenic passage offers a close look at Alaska’s rugged wilderness and glacial landscapes.
Kauaʻi is shaped by rainforests, canyons, and a dramatic coastline. Pick up fresh poke bowls and roadside smoothies at family-run market stands before heading through the arching canopy of the Tunnel of Trees toward the sunny south shore near Poʻipū. Hike the dramatic contours of Waimea Canyon or follow forest paths to the cascading Wailua Falls. From the water, the island’s most iconic sight comes into view as the sheer cliffs of the Nā Pali Coast rise abruptly from the sea.
Just off the Southern California coast, Catalina feels delightfully removed from the mainland. Snorkel through the kelp forests of Lovers Cove Marine Preserve, kayak along the island’s rugged shoreline, or stroll Avalon’s crescent harbor lined with waterfront cafés and boutiques. Inland trails rise toward the Wrigley Memorial and Botanic Garden, opening to wide views across rolling hills.
Los Angeles unfolds as a mosaic of culture, coastline, and creative energy. Explore the galleries and architecture of The Broad and The Getty in Downtown, trace cinematic history along the Hollywood Hills, or wander the palm-lined paths of Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach. Hilltop viewpoints at Griffith Observatory reveal sweeping panoramas across city and sea, while neighborhoods shaped by art, design, and cuisine invite discovery at every turn.
When the yacht drops anchor off the Abaco Islands, head aft to the Marina for a day on the turquoise waters in the warmth of the Bahamian sun. The yacht’s custom platforms transform into Marina Beach, a resort on the water with loungers, an ocean pool, and easy access for watersports. Go kayaking or paddleboarding from the yacht, jump in for a swim, or simply relax on a chaise and sip a craft cocktail while taking in panoramic views of the sea and shore.
Set on the sun-drenched western edge of Hawaiʻi Island, Kona’s coast is a study in contrasts. Black lava fields stretch to white-sand beaches, and coffee groves climb the green slopes of Hualālai volcano. In the highlands, Kona’s famous crop reigns supreme; family-run farms handpick beans from trees rooted in volcanic soil. Head to a roastery for a tasting, or sample local cacao and vanilla—crops grown nowhere else in the U.S. Back at sea level, the story is equally as vivid.
Set on the Big Island’s rain-nourished eastern side, Hilo rewards those who follow its pace—gentle, grounded, and unexpectedly powerful. The town is visually striking; look one way to see rainforest and waterfalls, the other to spy the snow-dusted peak of Mauna Kea, Hawaiʻi’s sacred mountain. Begin the day with a stroll along the bayfront into downtown, browsing family-run shops and artist studios that carry on living traditions such as carving wood and beating kapa.
Kahului sits on storied ground, shaped by centuries of movement, trade, and transformation. Set on Maui’s northern coast, between Haleakalā and the West Maui Mountains, the region holds deep cultural significance, as it was here, in 1790, that King Kamehameha’s forces defeated Maui’s warriors in a pivotal step toward unifying the islands. Nature is especially generous in this part of Maui. Head inland to ʻĪao Valley State Park, where hiking trails wind through the rainforest for sensational views of the ʻĪao Needle, a 1,200-foot spire that rises dramatically through the mist.
