Seattle is a vibrant Pacific Northwest port where iconic skyline views, fresh seafood, bustling markets, and rich arts culture blend with ocean breezes.
Your cruise departs from Seattle, Washington on the Noordam. We strongly recommend flying in the day before - flight delays and cancellations happen, and the ship won't wait. Use the extra time to explore Seattle, Washington and start your trip relaxed. Complete your online check-in before arrival. Sample local foods, watch fishmongers toss fresh seafood, and browse artisanal crafts and unique shops.

Ketchikan is Alaska up close, misty forests, totem poles, salmon streams, and a waterfront town where nature and culture share the same boardwalk.
You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Ketchikan, Alaska, from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Waterproof layers are essential, as rain is common even in summer.

Kushiro feels like northern Japan breathing slow, misty wetlands, quiet streets, seafood aromas, and wide skies where nature still leads the day.
The Noordam is a mid-sized ship, which means excursion options in Kushiro, Japan are plentiful. Plan your top priorities in advance and you'll generally find services accessible without long waits. This expansive wetland is one of Japan's most important natural areas.

Aomori feels quietly captivating, forested hills, apple scented air, calm harbor views, and a northern Japanese rhythm that invites curiosity and calm.
Your ship arrives in Aomori, Japan at 8:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Many attractions are within walking distance, including museums, markets, and the waterfront.

Tokyo, Japan blends ultra-modern skyscrapers with traditional temples, bustling streets with serene gardens, and sushi bars with neon lights for a vibrant cruise stop.
Your cruise ends in Tokyo, Japan, where the Noordam is scheduled to dock at 8:00 AM. On a smaller ship, the disembarkation process moves quickly - most passengers are off within one to two hours. If you're flying out, book your flight at least four hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Stroll through the famous Tsukiji Outer Market to savor fresh seafood, sushi, and local delicacies while observing the lively market atmosphere and bustling vendors.
