The Port of San Francisco welcomed two cruise ships on their inaugural calls on Sept. 28.
Holland America Line’s Noordam berthed at Pier 27 as part of a 35-night voyage from Seward, Alaska, to Sydney, Australia and the Emerald Princess of Princess Cruises docked at Pier 35 on a six-night coastal cruise from Vancouver to Los Angeles.
These ships are among the many based in Seattle and Vancouver for the Alaska summer season that visit San Francisco in September and October on their way south for the winter, the port said.
