Seattle

Seattle is perhaps not the best known American city for British travellers but it is a city which has lots to offer during a stay here. The shopping is excellent, as is the dining and bars for some lively nightlife. Pike Place Market is a focal point in the downtown area and just steps away from the waterfront. Pioneer Square marks Seattle's original downtown area dating back to 1852 and is home to art galleries , cafes , sports bars and nightclubs. The Seattle Underground Tour ($16pp) can be found here and is well worth it as you have a chance to visit eerie sunken store fronts and forgotten streets which were at the original ground level before the Great Fire of 1889. These were covered up and built on in an effort to clean up the city in the second half of the 19th century. For the best views of the city visit the Space Needle which was built for the World's Fair in 1962. This 605 foot tower is the equivalent to 60 floors high and houses the revolving Sky City restaurant open for lunch a dinner daily. It was built to withstand winds of up to 200 miles per hour and earthquakes of up to 9.1 in magnitude! At the Boeing Factory see how airplanes are built on this 4.5-hour small-group trip to the largest building in the world. Spend 90 minutes in the massive Boeing assembly plant and see a variety of different planes in production such as the 737, 747, 767, 777, 787, and Dreamliner aircraft . Then explore the interactive exhibits and displays in the Aviation Centre Gallery and visit the educational Future of Flight Aviation Centre museum.

Make your way to the nearby cruise terminal to embark the ship.

Sitka

Sitka, located on Baranof Island in Alaska's Inside Passage, lies at the heart of the vast Tongass National Forest — the largest temperate rainforest in the world. This spectacular wilderness covers most of Southeast Alaska and offers the chance to see eagles, bears, spawning salmon, and sweeping vistas that define the untamed beauty of wild Alaska.The town itself has a distinctive character, shaped by both Tlingit culture and Russian heritage. Surrounded by island-studded waters, jagged mountain peaks, and the presence of a towering volcano, Sitka combines dramatic scenery with a fascinating cultural story that makes it one of Alaska's most unique ports.

Skagway

Skagway is the historic gateway to the Klondike and a one-time boomtown of the famous Gold Rush of 1898. Today, it preserves much of that frontier charm, with rustic boardwalks, old-style storefronts, and lively saloons that transport visitors back to the days of stampeders and fortune seekers.The town also enjoys reservation status within the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, making it a unique blend of living history and natural beauty. Walking through Skagway, you'll feel the echoes of the past while surrounded by the breathtaking mountain landscapes that frame this legendary Alaskan town.

Juneau

Juneau, the capital of Alaska, is perched on a hillside where the historic downtown buildings give the city a charming frontier feel. Towering 4,000-foot mountains create a dramatic backdrop, making the setting truly unforgettable.Beyond the city lies the vast Juneau Icefield, from which more than 30 glaciers flow — the most famous being the spectacular Mendenhall Glacier. Rich in history, Juneau was shaped by the gold rush era and remains deeply connected to Tlingit culture, blending frontier heritage with Native traditions.

Victoria (British Columbia)

Victoria (British Columbia) was once a British colonial post and is full of historic sites, public parks and groomed gardens. Here, the locals appear more British than the British. The beautiful town centre features the impressive government buildings, the Fairmount Hotel and the harbour area where pleasure boats navigate past seaplanes as they take-off and land.

Disembark the ship after breakfast and make your way to the airport for your overnight flight home.
