Seattle
The airline gateway of Seattle is a great place to spend a few days at the beginning or end of an Alaskan cruise. Pike Place Market is one of the oldest continuously operated farmers' markets America and a monorail runs to the newly renovated Space Needle tower and observation deck. A harbour boat trip is a fun way to see the city from a different perspective.

Wander along cobbled streets and see antebellum houses in the French Quarter and Battery districts and visit Fort Sumter where the American Civil War began. There are tours of plantations and expansive gardens, plus the more unusual attraction of Magnolia Cemetery, the final resting place of generals, soldiers, politicians, and socialites.

Aloha and welcome to Hawaii where Big Island, as the name implies, is the largest and offers a wide range of activities, adventures and sightseeing options. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the only Hawaiian UNESCO site, offers a fascinating insight into the birth of the islands and views of dramatic volcanic landscapes. The Punalu'u beach is a distinctive black sand beach with opportunities to spot turtles.
