Osos On The Ocean!
Pacific Coast Gay Bears Cruise 2024
5 nights from Los Angeles, California to Vancouver, British Columbia
March 31 – April 05, 2024
NCL Norwegian Bliss
Join your hosts the Bears of San Francisco sailing on the Norwegian Bliss one of the most exciting ships to sail from Los Angeles to Vancouver. Nightly parties, optional excursions just for our bears & gay group. They should be fun. Fun, FREE Drinks, FREE Specialty Dining, Go Karts, Laser Tag, Broadway shows, and special private games and prizes. Also a special PARTY in San Francisco and an overnight stay in Vancouver, Canada.
We are sailing from Los Angeles, one of the most exciting cities in America. The home of Hollywood stars, facelifts and legendary gay nightlife. There are many excellent gay bars and clubs in Los Angeles. The nightlife is pretty wild! LA is not just a plastic fantastic home to stars and aspiring actors; it’s also a major cultural destination.
Cruise up the Pacific coast aboard Norwegian Bliss. First stop is the beautiful City by the Bay. Whilst in San Francisco, you must grab a glass of wine and catch a ride on a cable car (not necessarily in that order). Work up an appetite so you can dine at one of the city's many farm-to-table restaurants. When you get to Victoria, roam around Butchart Gardens to get in touch with nature. However, if hops and barley are the only things on your nature list, opt for a microbrewery tour. Cheers!  
Your Ship - Norwegian Bliss
Imagine relaxation. Imagine Bliss. That's what you'll experience when you holiday on board Norwegian Bliss.

Come aboard and experience the best dining, entertainment, and amenities at sea against a backdrop of unrivaled natural beauty. Whether you choose to go tropical or a little wild, there’s one word to describe the experiences awaiting you on one of Norwegian’s newest ships: Bliss.

Serving a wide variety of culinary delights to please every palate, the complimentary dining options include three main dining rooms, a help-yourself buffet and a variety of casual cafés, grills and on-the-go choices. Plus, the Main Dining Rooms offer a menu that changes daily, Chef's Signature Dishes and carefully selected wine recommendations, guaranteeing a different culinary adventure with every visit.
Bars & Lounges
With so many bars and lounges to discover, finding your favourite may take a few days. Pull up a stool on The Waterfront and pair your favourite vintage with soothing waves at The Cellars - A Michael Mondavi Family Wine Bar. Grab a freshly muddled mojito anytime you like at Sugarcane Mojito Bar. Or Let your hair down in The District Brew House, offering more than 50 different bottled beers and 24 draft beers on tap.
Entertainment & Nightlife
Top off spectacular days with legendary nights aboard Norwegian Bliss. Spend an evening in a swinging speakeasy on the eve of Prohibition. Perfect your dance moves and clear your pipes as you go on an incredible audible journey with The Four Seasons in a Tony Award®-winning musical. Fans of the Beatles shouldn't miss a night rocking out in the famous Liverpool nightclub where the band played. Which will be your soundtrack to an unforgettable night?
Outdoor Activities
Interested in a little excitement? Burn rubber on the largest racetrack at sea and then challenge your friends or family to some friendly competition on the Aqua Racer. Dare to whoosh over the side of the ship on Ocean Loops before dodging lasers during an exhilarating game of laser tag. Top off all your victories by hitting the jackpot in the Bliss Casino - where an electric atmosphere buzzes late into the night.
Onboard Activities
Get ready for a laser tag battle of galactic proportions under the stars. Completely closed shoes are required to participate. Drug and alcohol consumption before participating in this event is strictly prohibited.

Day 1 - Los Angeles, California
It's an exciting semitropical city of palm trees, swimming pools, television studios and aerospace factories. Los Angeles is one of the world's most exciting cities and the movie-making capital of the world. Wherever you visit, from ritzy Beverly Hills to the wondrous Hollywood Bowl, you'll have an unforgettable stay.

Day 2 - San Francisco, California
One of America's loveliest cities, San Francisco's hilly streets provide some gorgeous glimpses of the Bay and its famous bridges. This picturesque city is unique in its style and personality, and it charms everyone who comes here. While you're in San Francisco, take the time to explore this beautiful city. Walk down Lombard, the crookedest street in the world. Take a trip to San Francisco's famous Chinatown for Dim Sum. Explore the waterfront and stop in to sample chocolate at Ghirardelli Square. Ride one of San Francisco's famous cable cars, and gaze at the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge.
Day 3 - A Day at Sea!
While at sea, take the time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, taste the delicacies or explore the venues on-board, until we arrive at the next amazing destination.
Day 4 - Victoria, British Columbia
Located on the southern tip on the island of Vancouver in British Columbia, the city of Victoria is probably best known for its mild climate and active outdoor lifestyle. In fact, the city has been named the "fittest city" in Canada more than once. Among the many attractions are world-famous gardens, its 150 years of British history, gourmet dining and fantastic shopping. Roam the spacious lawns of stunning Butchart Gardens with its exotic flora, unusual topiary and exquisite fountains. Explore historic Bastion Square, the treasures of Chinatown and the many sights and sounds to be found along the boardwalk of the Inner Harbour.
Day 5 - Vancouver, British Columbia
Positioned between the snow-dusted North Shore Mountains and the rich, blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, Vancouver blends big-city sophistication with small-town charm. Don't miss Queen Elizabeth Park - a 130-acre civic arboretum accented with sculptures by modern artist Henry Moore.
Day 6 - Vancouver, British Columbia
Vancouver is a very liberal city in British Columbia. Here you’ll find a fairly small but fun gay scene in Davie Village, in the heart of the city. Spend a little time in Vancouver, and your biggest problem is going to be deciding what to do while you’re here. Start the morning with a quiet beach-side stroll, coffee in-hand. Shop eclectic local designs and global brands in the afternoon, and then end the day by seeing a show and hitting the dancefloor until the wee hours. And that’s just day one.
