    The cruise started well, with some history on the Seattle skyline. The crew was kind and accommodating. I could have did without the travel through the Seattle ports. I would have rather went further out in the sound.

  • Highly recommended

    Really enjoyed this 1-hour tour around Elliot Bay. On the first half of the trip, the guide focused on the skyline and shared info about the buildings and history of Seattle. On the return, he shared a lot about the shipping industry and how it's connected to Alaska and other parts of the country.

  • Excellent!
