Region

Pacific Northwest (Puget Sound & British Columbia)

Small-ship cruising in Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands and British Columbia's inside waters, roundtrip from Seattle or Tacoma — orcas, island towns and Victoria, with no Alaska ports. Big-ship Alaska cruises from Seattle or Vancouver pass through these waters but belong under Alaska.

Best season
Apr-Oct
Typical length
8-9 days typical (7-8 nights); some 15-day combined itineraries

Boundary rule: if the itinerary calls at Ketchikan, Juneau or other Alaska ports, file it under Alaska. This region is Puget Sound/San Juans/B.C.-only voyages.

American Cruise Lines' Puget Sound cruises board in Tacoma (optional Seattle hotel stay) — not at Seattle's big-ship terminals.

Most itineraries include Victoria, B.C. — a Canada stop — so check guests' travel documents.
