Los Angeles: 45-Minute Harbor Cruise

West Harbor: Whale and Dolphin Watching Cruise

Rancho Palos Verdes

Explore the Port of Los Angeles, the busiest harbor in the Western Hemisphere.

Learn about the history of the port and see California sea lions playing in the harbor. See the famous battleship USS Iowa, large cargo and container ships from around the globe.

Departing from the Town Square public slip, the crew will highlight the significance of the port in global trade, with 95% of international trade transported by ships.

Look at the new West Harbor, Los Angeles Harbor lighthouse, and Pier 400, the world’s largest container terminal. Learn about historical sites like the Terminal Island Japanese Fishing Village Memorial.

Sail into the Pacific Ocean to look for gray whales from winter to spring and blue whales from summer to fall.

Also, spot humpback whales, fin whales, minke whales, dolphins, sea lions, and other marine life that are often found in these waters year-round.

While whale and dolphin sightings aren't assured due to the unpredictability of wildlife, skilled captains and docents from the Aquarium of the Pacific work to find opportunities. If no sea life is spotted, you’ll receive a return voucher for another cruise.
