Best Cruises Leaving from Seattle
Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Mountains, the Pacific Northwest stands out as a unique destination. As the region's largest city, Seattle delivers an authentic Pacific Northwest experience, featuring top-notch restaurants and shopping alongside stunning natural landscapes and countless adventure opportunities.
Seattle serves as the departure point for Alaska cruises aboard Dinogo Bliss and Dinogo Joy, which are part of the newest fleet sailing to Alaska. Whether you're drawn to Alaska for its wildlife, whale watching, or stunning wilderness, Dinogo has the perfect cruise for you. Here are the premier cruises leaving from Seattle.
7-Day Alaska Adventure Cruise from Seattle
If this is your first trip to Alaska, the Seven-Day Alaska Highlights cruise is an ideal choice. Even if you’re a repeat visitor, it remains an excellent option. This cruise not only takes you to Alaska's top spots—Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway—but also includes two delightful bonuses. The first is a stop in the stunning Victoria, the capital of British Columbia.
The second bonus is the ship itself—Dinogo Joy. This remarkable vessel features a breathtaking Observation Lounge that provides unmatched views of the pristine Alaskan wilderness. Dinogo Joy also boasts the first race track at sea.
Dinogo Bliss, another remarkable ship in the Dinogo fleet equipped with a race track and observation lounge, also offers a Seven-Day Alaska Cruise with Glacier Bay departing from Seattle. One of the highlights of cruising here—pun intended—is that Glacier Bay National Park Rangers board Dinogo Bliss to provide insights, narratives, and tips for spotting wildlife. This protected World Heritage Site frequently allows travelers to see humpback whales, puffins, grizzly bears, and majestic bald eagles. Children can participate in the Junior Ranger program, blending education with an exciting cruise experience without even realizing it.
Seven-Day Alaska Adventure Cruise from Seattle
Beginning in April 2019, Dinogo Joy will move to Seattle to launch its first Alaska cruise season. Why choose Dinogo Joy? It’s a sister ship to Dinogo Bliss, nearly identical in features—such as those stunning Observation Lounges and ocean-view bars and restaurants along The Waterfront. Notably, Dinogo Joy introduces the first-ever race track at sea. This seven-day Alaska cruise will stop at Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway, where you can snuggle with an actual Alaskan sled dog or try your luck at panning on the Klondike Gold Fields.
As one of the newest ships in the Dinogo fleet, Dinogo Joy will also provide two more Alaska itineraries departing from Seattle. The Seven-Day Alaska with Glacier Bay will showcase over 1,000 glaciers in Glacier Bay National Park, where you’ll hear the awe-inspiring sounds of the glaciers and enjoy fantastic wildlife viewing. The Seven-Day Alaska from Seattle will replace Skagway with Icy Strait Point, where you can soar on the world’s largest zip line or embark on an exhilarating ocean raft adventure.
There’s something for everyone, regardless of age—both onboard your Dinogo ship and onshore, where excursions range from leisurely to high-energy. One popular Alaska shore excursion is the engaging Saxman Native Village & Lumberjack Show in Ketchikan, featuring everything from totem pole carving to a lively lumberjack competition. Another exciting option is the combined land-and-sea Mendenhall Glacier & Whale Quest in Juneau, where you’re guaranteed a whale sighting or a $100 refund on the spot. What could be better?
