Creator's Key Takeaways

Seattle is considered the gateway to Alaska and I personally have fondly sailed out of Seattle many many times

the cruise terminal is only 15 miles from the airport so very convenient to get to your beautiful ship

Port valet is actually a free service to guests of the cruise lines and essentially if you're when you're returning back from your Alaska cruise and heading home if you're flying out that day and sign up for Port valet you will put your bags outside your stateroom and you will see them again at your arrival airport

Seattle itself is a super vibrant City we have a long history of exploration and Adventure

Creator's Tips & Advice

Spend a day or two in Seattle before or after your cruise to experience the city
Sign up for the free Port Valet service to have your luggage handled seamlessly
Take advantage of the convenient airport proximity and light rail to downtown

Join Bill Panoff, Editor-in-Chief of Porthole Cruise and Travel Magazine, Linda Springmann the Director of Cruise and Maritime Marketing from the Port of Seattle, and Liz Johnson the Director of International Tourism at Visit Seattle to learn why so many travelers spend a few days exploring the city before cruising to Alaska. #Seattle #PortSeattle #VisitSeattle #Cruise #Travel Port Seattle Website: https://www.portseattle.org Visit Seattle Website: https://visitseattle.org
