Day 1 · United States
Seattle / Tacoma
Embarkation
Seattle
Seattle is the busier of the two Alaska gateways, running from May to September and going quiet the rest of the year. Two terminals are in use and they are not close to each other: Pier 91 is north of downtown at Smith Cove, Pier 66 is on the downtown waterfront. Check which one your ship uses before you book anything else.
