PORTS OF CALL
Seattle, Washington
Think of Seattle not as a logistical necessity for your cruise, but as the essential first or final chapter of your Pacific Northwest adventure. Many travelers make the mistake of rushing through, treating it as a mere transfer point. As your advocates, we urge you to resist that impulse. Carving out two or three days here, either to ease into your vacation or to decompress after your voyage, transforms your entire trip. Seattle is a city of profound contrasts—a global tech hub with a fiercely independent, grunge-rock soul, surrounded by an astonishing natural grandeur of water and mountains. It’s a destination that rewards curiosity.
**A Suggested Itinerary for Your Pre- or Post-Cruise Stay**
**Day 1: The Iconic Core**
Your exploration should begin at the city’s vibrant, chaotic heart: **Pike Place Market**. This is far more than a tourist stop; it’s a living, breathing institution. Arrive early to see it wake up. The sensory experience is immediate: the scent of fresh-brewed coffee from the original Starbucks (expect a line, but the history is palpable), the brilliant colors of countless flower bouquets, and the famous cheers of the fishmongers tossing salmon through the air. For a truly local taste, bypass the main lines and seek out Pike Place Chowder for a cup of their award-winning New England-style clam chowder, or grab a warm, flaky piroshky from Piroshky Piroshky. A stop at Beecher’s Handmade Cheese to watch the curds being stirred in giant vats is a must.
From the market, it’s an easy walk down to the waterfront. While you’ll see the Great Wheel and various souvenir shops, we recommend heading north along the path to the **Olympic Sculpture Park**. This free, open-air museum features large-scale works with the stunning backdrop of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains. It’s a perfect way to experience world-class art in an accessible, unpretentious setting.
In the afternoon, make your way to the **Seattle Center**. Yes, the **Space Needle** is the city’s icon, and the 360-degree views from the top are undeniably impressive. But for many of our clients, the true highlight here is the adjacent **Chihuly Garden and Glass**. Dale Chihuly’s breathtaking glass sculptures, housed in a series of galleries and a magnificent glasshouse, are a testament to artistic vision and technical mastery. It’s a vibrant, awe-inspiring experience that consistently exceeds expectations.
For dinner, the nearby neighborhoods of Belltown or Queen Anne offer a wealth of options, from casual brewpubs to sophisticated Pacific Northwest cuisine that celebrates local seafood and produce.
**Day 2: Neighborhoods & Natural Beauty**
Today, venture beyond the downtown core to understand what truly makes Seattle tick. A short ride-share or bus trip takes you to **Capitol Hill**, the city’s cultural epicenter. It’s a dynamic blend of historic mansions, vibrant nightlife, and counter-culture cool. Spend the morning exploring its independent boutiques, grabbing a coffee at a local institution like Victrola Coffee Roasters, and browsing the shelves of the legendary Elliott Bay Book Company.
In the afternoon, choose your own adventure based on your interests:
* **For the Innovator:** Head to South Lake Union to visit the **Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI)**. Housed in a beautifully restored naval armory, it tells the compelling story of Seattle’s journey from a timber town to a global leader in technology, with fascinating exhibits on Boeing, Microsoft, and Amazon.
* **For the Music & Culture Fan:** Right back at the Seattle Center is the Frank Gehry-designed **Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP)**. Its immersive exhibits on everything from Nirvana and Jimi Hendrix to science fiction and fantasy film are brilliantly curated and endlessly entertaining.
* **For the Nature Lover:** Take a classic Washington State Ferry from downtown to **Bainbridge Island**. The 35-minute ride itself is a scenic highlight, offering the best views of the Seattle skyline. Once on the island, the charming town of Winslow is a short walk from the terminal, filled with galleries, cafes, and boutiques. It’s a perfect, low-key escape.
For your final evening, explore the historic neighborhood of **Ballard**. Originally a Scandinavian fishing village, it now boasts one of the city’s best dining and brewery scenes. Stroll down Ballard Avenue, enjoy a dozen fresh oysters at The Walrus and the Carpenter, and sample local craft beers at one of the many breweries in the “Ballard Brewery District.”
**Practical Advice**
Getting from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) to downtown is simple and efficient via the Link Light Rail, which drops you in the heart of the city. The downtown core is very walkable, and for exploring other neighborhoods, ride-sharing services are abundant. Staying in a hotel in Downtown, Belltown, or South Lake Union provides the most convenient access for both sightseeing and reaching your cruise terminal.
By dedicating time to Seattle, you’re not just adding a city to your itinerary; you’re gaining a deeper appreciation for the culture and spirit of the Pacific Northwest, setting the perfect tone for the wild beauty that awaits you in Alaska.
At Sea - Cruising
Ketchikan, Alaska
Ketchikan is often your first taste of Alaska, and it’s a potent one. As the self-proclaimed "Salmon Capital of the World," this bustling town is built on fishing, timber, and the rich cultural heritage of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples. Its authenticity is its greatest asset.
From the cruise dock, you're steps away from the town's most famous sight: Creek Street. This historic boardwalk, once the city's notorious red-light district, is now a charming collection of colorful stilted houses, galleries, and shops perched over the rushing creek. It’s an essential photo-op and a delightful place for a stroll, easily explored on your own.
To truly appreciate the region's soul, seek out the magnificent totem poles. The Totem Heritage Center, a manageable walk or short taxi ride from the port, houses a stunning collection of original 19th-century poles rescued from abandoned villages. It’s a quiet, powerful museum that offers deep insight into Native Alaskan artistry and tradition. For a more expansive outdoor setting, Totem Bight State Historical Park is another excellent choice, though it requires a short tour or taxi ride.
While the town is engaging, Ketchikan’s grandeur lies in the surrounding wilderness. For a truly unforgettable day, a floatplane or boat tour into the Misty Fjords National Monument is an unparalleled experience. These glacier-carved cliffs and serene waters are the Alaska you've dreamed of. For a more accessible nature fix, you can often spot salmon fighting their way upstream at the Ketchikan Creek fish ladder right in town during the summer season. Ketchikan is compact and can feel busy, but by focusing on either its rich cultural core or the spectacular nature at its doorstep, you'll find it a deeply rewarding port of call.
Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier
This isn't a port in the traditional sense, but rather a destination in itself—a day dedicated to the profound, humbling beauty of raw Alaska. Your ship will navigate the 30-mile-long Endicott Arm, a fjord carved by immense glacial power. This is a day to find a comfortable spot on deck, perhaps with a warm drink and binoculars, and simply watch the spectacle unfold. Sheer granite cliffs rise thousands of feet from the water, streaked with dozens of waterfalls. As you venture deeper, the water becomes dotted with floating ice—from small, crystalline 'bergy bits' to larger, blue-hued chunks that have broken free from the glacier ahead.
The main event is the Dawes Glacier, an active tidewater glacier that glows with an ethereal blue light. You'll likely hear the glacier before you see its full grandeur—the thunderous crack and roar as it calves, sending ice crashing into the sea. Keep a keen eye out for wildlife; harbor seals often haul themselves onto the floating ice to rest, and you might spot mountain goats on the cliffs or even a bear along the shoreline. Endicott Arm is a purely observational experience, a chance to witness nature on a scale that truly puts things in perspective.
Juneau, Alaska
Juneau is a quintessential Alaskan port, a capital city uniquely isolated by wilderness and accessible only by air or sea. This isolation is its charm, creating a place where dramatic nature is always the main event. The undisputed star is the Mendenhall Glacier, a magnificent river of ice just a short drive from the docks. The visitor center provides spectacular views, but for a truly memorable experience, we recommend a helicopter tour that lands you directly on the glacier itself—an investment, but one that pays dividends in awe.
Beyond the glacier, Juneau is one of Alaska’s premier whale-watching destinations. The nutrient-rich waters of the Inside Passage are a summer feeding ground for humpback whales, and sightings are exceptionally common. For a different perspective, the Mount Roberts Tramway, which departs right from the cruise ship dock, whisks you 1,800 feet up for panoramic views of the Gastineau Channel and the surrounding Tongass National Forest.
The downtown area is compact, historic, and easily explored on foot. While it can be bustling with fellow cruisers, it’s worth a stroll down South Franklin Street to see the preserved architecture. For a dose of culture, the Alaska State Museum offers a superb collection of Native Alaskan and pioneer history. While the famous Red Dog Saloon is a lively and historic stop, for a more authentic taste of Juneau, seek out a local salmon bake. Juneau delivers exactly what you hope for in Alaska: breathtaking scenery and wildlife encounters that feel both grand and accessible.
Skagway, Alaska
Skagway is less a town and more a time capsule, meticulously preserved from the fever dream of the Klondike Gold Rush. As you step off the ship, you’re immediately immersed in its history. The main event is the historic downtown, a district of wooden boardwalks and false-front buildings so authentic it’s part of a National Historical Park. While compact and easily walkable, its charm is genuine. You can spend an hour or two exploring Broadway Street, popping into the Red Onion Saloon for a dose of colorful history, or visiting the Corrington Museum of Alaskan History.
However, to truly appreciate Skagway, you must see it as a gateway. The town itself is the prologue; the main story unfolds in the surrounding wilderness. The undisputed star attraction is the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad. This is not a simple scenic ride; it’s a vintage, narrow-gauge train that climbs nearly 3,000 feet in 20 miles, clinging to mountainsides and crossing dizzying trestles. The engineering is as breathtaking as the views of glaciers, gorges, and waterfalls. We consider this one of Alaska’s essential experiences.
For those seeking more active pursuits, Skagway delivers. Helicopter tours can land you on a glacier for a dog-sledding adventure, offering a perspective few ever witness. You can also hike a portion of the legendary Chilkoot Trail or take a high-speed catamaran down the Lynn Canal, North America's longest and deepest fjord. Our advice: Plan on one major excursion. Skagway’s in-town appeal is real but finite; its true value lies in the spectacular adventures that begin at its doorstep.
Alaska Inside Passage
The Inside Passage isn't a port of call; for many, it is the entire point of an Alaskan cruise. This is not a day for shore excursions but a full immersion into one of the planet's most magnificent natural corridors. As your ship navigates these protected waters, you're traveling through a world carved by glaciers, where thousand-foot waterfalls cascade down sheer granite cliffs and the vast Tongass National Forest blankets every island.
The primary activity here is observation, and it is absolutely captivating. Find a spot on deck or on your balcony—with good binoculars in hand—and prepare to be humbled. The silence of the fjords is often broken only by the cry of a bald eagle or the thunderous crack of a tidewater glacier calving into the sea. This is where you'll witness the famous 'glacial blue,' an ethereal color that glows from within massive ice fields like those in Glacier Bay or Tracy Arm Fjord.
Keep a constant watch on the water. The passage is a rich feeding ground for humpback whales, and seeing one breach is an unforgettable, heart-stopping moment. Pods of orcas are also a common sight, as are sea lions barking from rocky haul-outs. Look toward the shore, and you might even spot a brown bear foraging along the water's edge at low tide.
Our best advice is simple: dress in warm layers, get outside, and listen to the onboard naturalist's commentary, which adds invaluable context to the spectacle. This is a profound, meditative experience—a chance to disconnect and witness the raw, untamed power of nature in a way that few places on Earth can offer.
Victoria, British Columbia
Victoria offers a distinctly civilized and manageable port day, a welcome change of pace from more sprawling destinations. Its compact, walkable Inner Harbour is the city’s heart, framed by the grand legislative buildings and the iconic Fairmont Empress hotel. This is where you’ll find the city’s pulse, and it’s an excellent starting point.
For many, the main draw is the world-renowned Butchart Gardens. We'll be direct: it's a masterpiece of horticulture and absolutely worth the visit if you're a passionate gardener. However, be mindful that it requires a significant bus or taxi ride (about 30-40 minutes each way), consuming a fair portion of your day. If you prefer to stay local, you won't be disappointed.
The Royal BC Museum, conveniently located at the Inner Harbour, is one of Canada's best, offering compelling exhibits on both natural and human history that can easily fill a few hours. A short, pleasant walk from the main harbour leads to Fisherman's Wharf, a quirky collection of floating homes and food kiosks where you can enjoy fresh fish and chips while watching seals play. For a dose of Victorian grandeur, Craigdarroch Castle provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a 19th-century coal baron. Or, simply stroll through the manicured lawns of nearby Beacon Hill Park.
Victoria's strength lies in its quality and accessibility. Whether you opt for a grand garden tour or a simple, elegant walk around the harbour, it delivers a polished and memorable experience without feeling overwhelming.
