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.

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.
