Seattle Port

Seattle is a fine city on the western coast of the US, often used by cruise lines as an embarkation or disembarkation port for trips to Alaska. Dominating the skyline is the Space Needle, originally built for the 1962 World’s Fair and now offering panoramic views across the city from its observation deck. Seattle is also home to the famous Pike Place Market. This unique market is home to hundreds of farmers and fishmongers, and is known as the home of the flying fish – expect traders to launch fish across stalls as they work.

If you want a taste of tranquillity, Lake Union is a peaceful escape near downtown, where you’ll see houseboats, pleasure craft and even seaplanes on the waters. Or visit Boeing’s Aviation Center, where you can tour a commercial jet assembly plant and learn more about the latest innovations in flying.
