Spring Forward with a Cruise
Even with our mild winters, something shifts when March arrives. Days stretch longer, the air is a little sweeter. Spring is the season when everyone remembers why they live here.
And there's no better place to feel it than on the water. Come celebrate the sights, sounds and flavors of the season as spring blooms in San Diego.
The Cruise Spring Was Made For
Champagne Brunch On The Bay
Mimosas in hand, city views sliding past you, music on the deck, something delicious in every direction. Now this feels like the most important meal of the day.
Brunch is the perfect setting for spring celebrations: showers, get-togethers, family outings, and dates.
Highlights:
- Multi-station breakfast buffet
- Unlimited champagne & mimosas
- Live DJ music
Last Call for Whales
Season ends April 19, 2026
Late season is actually the best season. In March and April, the whales are heading home with newborn calves, swimming closer to shore with more surface time. You see more because there's more to see.
The other advantage? Weather. Warmer than January. More time on deck, more comfortable, better visibility. The whales journey on, but they also give you the best show of the season on their way out.
Highlights:
- Expert naturalists onboard
- Flagship's Sightings Guarantee
- Indoor & outdoor viewing with 360° sightlines
Here Comes The Sun: San Diego gains nearly 2 hours of daylight between January and May. See sunset times. Use that extra daylight for a sunset dinner, or time your harbor tours or ferry to Coronado as the sky changes colors behind you.
