As one of the main gateways to embark for an Alaska Cruise, Seattle is also the starting point for Pacific Coastal cruises as well. Passengers that extend their vacation before or after their cruise can take advantage of Seattle’s many attractions, including Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, and the Pacific Science Center. Also, coffee lovers take note that Seattle is the birthplace of Starbucks.
