Cruise Buzz

Santa Barbara Harbor lies on California’s Pacific coast near the Santa Ynez Mountains about 90 nautical miles northwest of the Port of Los Angeles.

Santa Barbara does not see a large amount of cruise ship activity, however, when cruise lines do call on Santa Barbara it is a welcome stop.

A worthwhile itinerary that calls on Santa Barbara is the Princess Cruises getaway offering a welcome escape to Wine Country.

The Princess Cruises Wine Country Coastal cruise is a seven-day voyage geared towards wine lovers, this special sailing offers cruisers the chance to explore the California wine regions of Santa Barbara and the San Francisco area — as well as visit the microbreweries of Astoria, Oregon. Themed excursions are available in many ports to enhance the local wine focus. In addition, onboard presentations from guest experts will showcase the world of food and wine with demonstrations, tastings and special meals. The cruise aboard Sapphire Princess will depart from Los Angeles on May 7, 2011, sailing to Vancouver with calls at Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Astoria, Seattle and Victoria.
