This epic adventure blends two incredible experiences into one unforgettable holiday. Begin with a scenic drive along California’s legendary Pacific Coast Highway, winding through dramatic cliffs, redwood forests, and charming seaside towns.

With flights, car hire, accommodation, and cruise inclusions all arranged, this journey offers the perfect balance of freedom and guided discovery.

Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas

Royal Caribbean is known for taking cruising to new heights, and Anthem of the Seas is no exception. Start your mornings with panoramic views from the North Star glass observation capsule, unwind in the solarium, or try the thrill of the RipCord by iFLY skydiving simulator.

Whether you’re chasing adventure or simply soaking in the scenery, Anthem of the Seas makes every moment as memorable as Alaska itself.
