Departing from Los Angeles, the first stop is Ensenada, Mexico where you can join a VIP vineyard tour in the Guadalupe Valley, increasingly noted for its red wines. Then you’ll dock in San Diego where top sights include the San Diego Museum of Art, a fine art gallery with an emphasis on Spanish creatives and the award-winning San Diego Zoo. The city's Cabrillo National Monument is also a perfect area for catching a glimpse of Pacific grey whales.
