desk. (Each port offers shore tours that vary in length,<br />
activity level and price.)<br />

Called the American Riviera, Santa Barbara is a place<br />
where food, art, history, fashion, wine and sunshine<br />
mix to create a delightful and unique experience for<br />
visitors. The “Queen of the Missions,” Santa Barbara’s<br />
Old Mission can be traced back to the 1700’s when the<br />
mission was built to bring Christianity to the Chumash<br />
Indians. Or maybe you’d prefer to see Solvang and<br />
