Intro to Nice Seattle Cruise Tours

One of the advantages of living in a shorefront city is the fact that you can sightsee either over land or from the sea. Seattle is uniquely placed to offer this and more. Once you've completed your Seattle Hotel reservations and have comfortably spent your time seeing the city from the land, why not take some time out to see Seattle from the sea? There are enough and more cruises to keep you productively occupied for a couple of days.

1. Seattle Lakes Tour

There are two lakes that define Seattle. They are Lake Union and Lake Washington. While neither of the lakes is really large, they can keep you occupied for a two hour cruise. One of the several service providers who offer Seattle Lake Tours is Argosy Cruises. Departing from Dock E on Lake Union you will meander through both the lakes to return after a gripping two hours. In those two hours you will be able to check out Seattle from the water perspective.

2. Whale Watching Cruises

Have you ever wanted to watch these denizens of the deep frolic around you? If you have, then the Seattle Whale Watching cruise might just be what you seek. Located just off San Juan Islands near Seattle, this unique cruise will open your eyes and minds to the beauty and grace of the Killer Orca Whales. If you are lucky, in addition to the gentle giants, you might also get to see a few dolphins as well. The best part is that you can complete these cruises within one day and still have time to spare!

3. Longer Luxurious Cruises

Seattle has over five major Seattle cruises operating on a weekly basis. From here you can travel by cruise all the way to Alaska or even to Holland if you so desire. The liners are luxurious, the price is right and the best part is you have a whole range of plain or exotic cruises to choose from.
