About the Cruise:

Join Arcadia in San Francisco and explore the city's improbably steep streets, famous Fisherman's Wharf and its many tasty restaurants before setting sail for Southampton.

Long a magnet for the rich and famous, Mexico's top beach resort, Acapulco, boasts some of the most stunning beaches along the Pacific Coast Mexican Riviera and is your first port of call. Situated on a spectacular sweeping bay lined by five star hotels, this jet setters' city has lively bars and cafes, chic boutiques and a pulsating nightlife as well as a huge variety of watersports. A must-see sight is the world famous cliff divers at La Quebrada, who plunge 130 feet into the swirling waters below.

If you're a beach-lover, you'll be spoilt for choice in your next stop, Huatulco. It's Mexico's first eco-tourism resort and has 22 miles of pristine sand stretched across nine sparkling bays. Once a small fishing village, it has been developed out of the surrounding jungle and now offers visitors a range of amenities from shops and restaurants to golf and every kind of watersport. Look out for the galleries and shops featuring handmade Oaxacan arts and crafts - they make delightful gifts.

Everyone should sail through the Panama Canal at least once and now is your chance as Arcadia transits this well-travelled waterway for the Caribbean islands of Curacao and Barbados before making a final call in Ponta Delgada in the Azores.

About San Francisco
Cruising under the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco is one of the world's greatest travel experiences for it acts as gateway to a fascinating city set across dozens of hills overlooking the bay.
The hippies are long gone but San Francisco's scenic beauty, laid-back ambience and more than 3,000 restaurants make it a joy to visit. The famous Fisherman's Wharf harbourfront restaurant and multi-coloured boats complex, where seals happily sunbathe on its wooden decking, faces out towards the former island prison of Alcatraz which is now a major tourist attraction just like the city's colourful Chinatown district and upmarket shopping centre in Union Square.
And no visit to San Francisco would be complete without a trip on the city's 130-year-old tram system carrying you up and down the improbably steep streets made famous by that stomach-churning Steve McQueen car chase in the movie Bullitt.
From the city, you can also visit the pretty resorts of Sausalito and Monterey.

About Acapulco
Long a magnet for the rich and famous, Mexico's top beach resort, Acapulco, boasts some of the most stunning beaches along the Pacific Coast Mexican Riviera. Situated on a spectacular sweeping bay lined by five star hotels, this jetsetters' city makes the perfect cruise call as there is a huge range of attractions to suit all tastes and interests.
There are lively bars and cafes, chic boutiques and a pulsating nightlife but so much of Acapulco life centres around the ocean. There is a huge variety of watersports from surfing, jet-skiing and parasailing through to snorkelling, scuba-diving and deep-sea fishing.
But top of the list has to be the world famous cliff divers at La Quebrada, who plunge 130 feet from perilous cliffs into the raging waters below, timing their jumps precisely to coincide with the incoming waves so as to avoid landing with a bump in the shallows. Just marvel at the timing, grace and sheer bravery of the divers as they perform every lunchtime and evening

About Barbados
Watching the Atlantic surf crash down on the rugged east coast of this richly diverse island and, for a moment, you may feel you could be on the Cornish coast but the moment you hear the waves of gospel singing emanating from a tiny local church you realise you could not be anywhere else but Barbados.
While, over on the sheltered west coast, the glorious beaches are pure Caribbean. And there are more beaches and a lot more bars, cafes, restaurants and clubs creating a vibrant 24/7 lifestyle on the south coast, too.
In the capital and cruise port, Bridgetown, there are intriguing signs of its British colonial past while, across the island, you are really spoilt for choice. You can enjoy every watersport under the sun; stunning nature walks and bike rides; or maybe a trip to the uniquely magnificent Harrisons Cave underground complex of caverns, waterfalls, stalactites and stalagmites.
