The iconic Hollywood sign, a symbol of the American film industry, stands proudly in the foreground of this image. The sign's white letters, arranged in a staggered formation, are supported by a metal frame and appear to be made of a translucent material. In the background, the sprawling city of Los Angeles stretches out, with its densely populated neighborhoods and towering skyscrapers. The hazy blue sky above adds a sense of depth and atmosphere to the image, while the dry, yellow grass in the foreground provides a sense of texture and context.

Tips for LA

Extend your stay: The City of Angels is teeming with opportunity, so make sure you leave enough time to explore its national treasures by booking a Cruise Plus Hotel Package.

 

Consider traffic: When traveling to and from your cruise out of LA, take into account the city lives and dies by rush hour. Taxis or rideshare vehicles are available.

 

Plan ahead: Los Angeles is a widespread city, so planning ahead can save you time — and gas — traveling from one end to the other. For example, if visiting the Hollywood sign, make sure you also hit other nearby spots before heading west to board your cruise from LA.
