Seattle is a dynamic, urban city, located in the Northwest region of the United States on Puget Sound. Being surrounded by water and unmatched natural beauty, outdoor activities have become a popular aspect of this area. This city is also home to modern architecture, captivating art, and their famously prominent coffee culture.
Top Things to Do in Seattle:
Puget Sound cruises offer incredible Pacific Northwest scenery, making Seattle a prime departure port for Alaska. Expect to see ice-capped mountains, remote islands with gigantic Douglas firs, and Mount Rainier towering behind Seattle’s skyscrapers.
As you cruise the San Juan Islands from Seattle, you’ll be reminded of nature’s dominance. This wildlife-rich archipelago is popular among locals for its stunning views and diverse fauna. From your cruise, watch for soaring eagles, harbor seals, and humpback and orca whales. Whale sightings are common between March and October, especially the resident orcas of the J, K, and L pods. Even without whale sightings, the landscape’s beauty, from rocky outcrops to forested mounds, is unforgettable.
Vancouver is the ideal home port to begin or end an Alaskan adventure. Blessed with stunning vistas and exciting activities, Vancouver offers the perfect blend of urban and natural experiences. Vancouver is a must for any cruise itinerary, and because it's a compact, walkable city right on the edge of nature, adding on just a couple of extra days to explore will give you an authentic taste of what makes this place so attractive to visitors.
Located in the heart of Vancouver’s waterfront, 'Canada Place' (cruise terminal) can service up to three luxury cruise ships at any given time.
