Culture of the Vine Cruise - 4D/3N
Sail away on a relaxing adventure on rarely cruised waterways. Surround yourself in the oasis of the Wine Country as you sample different varieties of wine, and tour some of the Napa, Sonoma and Carneros wine districts’ favored wineries. The intimate, casual Yorktown, allows you to explore the hidden byways of San Francisco Bay, as you savor fine wine offered by an on-board Guest Wine Speaker, and dine on fine California cuisine.
Spirit of Yorktown
The Yorktown Clipper, soon to be renamed the Spirit of Yorktown is one of Cruise West’s newest overnight vessels, with a year-round cruising schedule that takes her as far north as Alaska and south, through the Panama Canal to the Carribean. The decor is sleek, stylish, and quietly elegant with light wood accents and artistically etched glass. The Observation Lounge features expansive picture windows, a video and lending library, plus cozy banquettes and conversation circles for getting to know your fellow travelers. Every stateroom features a wide picture window or porthole, private facilities, writing desk and ample storage. And when it’s time to go outside, guests enjoy generous outside space on three decks.
