California Coast Gay Daddy Cruise 2027
7 nights from/to Los Angeles, California, US
April 20 – 27, 2027
Princess Cruises Crown Princess
 Come join our intimate and super-friendly gay group of Daddys, admirers and friends for a spring getaway aboard the Crown Princess. We'll be California dreamin' as we sail out of Los Angeles (ideally after you've spent a few days exploring Entertainment Capital of the World) to San Francisco (one of the most beautiful and gay-welcoming cities in the world) down to sunny San Diego and then on to Mexico. Fresh from a multi-million dollar renovation, Crown Princess is a luminous jewel on the seas and a romantic destination in itself. She offers nearly 900 balconies from which to view the world, an array of entertainment options including Movies Under the Stars®, now with the industry's best 7.1 surround sound for an immersive audio experience, and sumptuous dining options from Crown Grill to exciting new top deck dining venues including Slice Pizzeria and Coffee & Cones.
From the rolling hills of California to the mist-shrouded mountains of the Pacific Northwest, lies 1,478 miles of coastline dotted with modern metropolises and charming towns full of personality. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed week sampling local culinary delights through California’s renowned wine country, an adventurous trek along the rugged Pacific coastline, or the inside scoop on Hollywood’s entertainment industry, Princess Cruises offers the best cruises from California.
For a romantic getaway, there’s no better cruise ship than Crown Princess. A night of romance can be created wherever you look, from a Piazza singer's sweet serenade, to a relaxing couples massage from a cabana in The Sanctuary®. Movies Under the Stars® is also a cozy venue, where you can cuddle up under a warm blanket and watch a romantic comedy amongst the evening stars.
The Pacific Ocean is the deepest and largest ocean on earth. The Pacific Coast has several big cities like San Francisco and San Diego. It is a perfect region for a getaway from monotonous life. The region has natural beauty, golden beaches, various cultures, red wood forests and delicious cuisine.

Day 1 - Los Angeles, California
Our itinerary is a perfect blend of "relaxing" and "exciting" as we sail out of Los Angeles - the Entertainment Capital of the World to explore California. Plan a few days before your cruise to enjoy all that the LA area has to offer.
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.
No trip to L.A. is complete without a stop in Disneyland. This world-famous park has been a favorite of children - and adults - for generations. While you're there, you should stop by Disney's California Adventure park. This newest Disney park is an idealized version of California, from its gold-mining history to its colorful present.
Day 2 - Fun Day at Sea!
Our first full day is at sea. Relax, unwind and get into vacation mode. Lounge on your private balcony or near one of the pools, or maybe even find a quiet nook to settle in with a book. Want to be more active on your day at sea? Play bingo, work out at the gym, watch a movie, dance all night, attend a cooking seminar, soak in a hot tub, watch a sunset (or a sunrise), play trivia games, sing along at the piano bar, do some wine tasting, check your email or surf the internet, grab a snack, watch live entertainment, get lucky in the casino, indulge in a spa treatment, catch the game in the sports bar, and on and on…
Day 3 - San Francisco, California
Where do I begin with what is probably the gayest major city in the world?? We’ll start by sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge—get up early to see this breath-taking event. Then explore what locals call simply “The City.” Never been before? Check out the iconic sights: cables cars, Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39, Alcatraz, Lombard Street (“the world’s crookedest street”), Golden Gate Bridge, the famous Castro, Chinatown, and the list goes on.
Not your first visit? Check out the lesser known attractions: Balmy Ally, Mission Dolores, Twin Peaks, the Walt Disney Family Museum, Coit Tower, the Presidio, and, well, this list goes on and on, too! Fortunately we have a late night departure here so you’ll have time to see a lot.
Day 4 - Fun Day at Sea!
After the Northern California fun and excitement, you’ll be ready for another day at sea. Perfect to do all the stuff you wanted to do on Day 2 but didn’t. Or, do nothing at all, and just relax!
Day 5 - Santa Barbara, California
Called the American Riviera, Santa Barbara is a place where food, art, history, fashion, wine and sunshine mix to create a delightful and unique experience. Charming Spanish and Moorish style buildings graced by brilliantly-colored bougainvillea, palm-lined beaches, a warm Mediterranean climate, charming sidewalk cafés and a pristine seaside setting are some of the aesthetic reasons for visiting Santa Barbara.
Just outside of Santa Barbara, lies the Santa Ynez Valley which is home to numerous world-renowned wineries. The scenic beauty of the dramatic mountains, lush valleys and oak trees is only surpassed by the rich flavors of the wines produced in the area.
Day 6 - San Diego, California
Our last stop in California captures the state all in one place: south-of-the-border zest, sun-drenched Mediterranean atmosphere, and Beach Town USA. Just like Los Angeles or San Francisco, the list of things to see and do in San Diego overwhelms.
Old Town is the site of the first Spanish settlement in California and offers the finest in theater, shopping, dining and free live entertainment—all within an easy walking distance.
More than just a world-famous zoo, the San Diego Zoo (located inside the nation’s largest urban cultural park, Balboa Park) is a sanctuary for thousands of animals, a landscape of rare plants from all climates, and a living classroom that entertains and educates. Or, experience animals in an even more authentic setting at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. You’ll drive past big game living out in the open as God intended (albeit transported here from Africa!).
Day 7 - Ensenada, Mexico
The heavy Mexican influences of California will have whetted your appetite for the real thing. Check out the largest marine geyser in the world as it blows upwards of 100 feet, creating a thunderous roar, and likely soaking you at the same time! Wine fan? Tour and taste at some of Mexico’s finest wineries just outside of town. Shop till you drop just a few blocks from the pier for Mexican pottery, silver jewelry, woven blankets and hats, as well as duty-free alcohol and perfume. Immerse yourself in Mexican culture with a cooking class, or catch a live performance of Mexican music and dance. Margaritas anyone?
Day 8 - Los Angeles, California
Early morning we’ll return to the port of Los Angeles. You’ll return to La La Land relaxed, rejuvenated and full of memories that will last a lifetime!
