Hornblower Cruises
Hornblower Cruises, more expansively known as Hornblower Cruises and Events, offers a variety of short cruise trips in cities across the country, but primarily in California. Hornblower’s offerings are quite diverse, so it is hard to define a typical Hornblower cruise, but a celebration of some kind – for a holiday or private event – is often at the center of a cruise.
