Take a Trip to Paradise with a Cruise From San Francisco 

There’s so much to see and do when you go on a cruise from San Francisco, California. It’s likely that you’ve seen this very hilly city featured in a film or in a TV show; San Francisco is a city of iconic images. Colorful Victorian homes on steep hills, the red Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay, and Alcatraz Island. This site was also known as “The Rock” and site of the former prison, which held notorious criminals, such as Al “Scarface” Capone.
