Amazing Things You Should Know About Puget Sound Cruises

By Brenda Watson


If you are looking for a place to cruise around the globe, then the Puget Sound and the Salish Sea are some of the most breathtaking places to do so. You will get to where the Cascade and Olympic Mountains meet the sea and view it from a stunning island. You get to sail on clear, scenic blue waters to towns that are historical on the seaside such as Anacortes. Activities to be done include being part of traditional and smoked salmon eating. You can also take a trip through the San Juan Islands, getting to see wildlife such as eagles, whales, and seals which can be breathtaking. You will also be getting lessons from experts and historians on board who possess plenty of lessons about the influence of the Suquamish tribes and the Norwegians cultures. These, among very many other, other reasons you should visit Puget Sound Cruises.

The route that the ship takes begins at the very scenic Seattle, Washington making its way to Puget Sound. On the way, a detour to the Anacortes is accounted for. This place is relatively warm compared to the areas that surround it. It is, therefore, advisable to make most of your time here. Go to the Deception Pass State Park.

San Juan is the next island to sail. Areas such as the deception pass and Skagit bay are lovely places. You will pass through complex inlets and water channels. This is an experience you shall enjoy and live to remember. There are beautiful animals and amazing scenery. Photographs taken here are beautiful and keep the memories alive.

The Friday Harbor, WA, is also not to be left behind. From the moment of stepping off of the ship, the majestic views and intoxicating aromas of Friday Harbor will electrify your senses. Additionally, one can visit the San Juan Historical Museum to go back in time and live island life as it was nearly a century ago. This town is quite eclectic and has something in store for everyone since you can also explore its diverse topography. This includes monstrous mountains, lush valleys, and pebbly beaches.

The resort hotels and restaurants are common in Port Angeles. The view of the mountains from there is breathtaking. There are memorable unique shops. The fresh air in the area is none like any other. The area is full of beautiful art and pretty flowers. The residents of that place are friendly; hence you feel at home. Also, you can visit the neighboring Victoria town in Canada if your passport is ready!

Little Norway also, known as Poulsbo, was where Norwegian fishers and lodgers who moved there in 1892 settled. They made the landscape look similar to their original home. You can access this beautiful place by moving towards Front Street. This incorporates a few specialized shops, several art galleries, and murals of that old world.

Mountains capped by snow, islands full of forest and beauty that is pristine is what you will be surrounded by as you go through Admiralty Bay on your way to Port Townsend. Some of the activities you can do here are to explore the very vibrant downtown and its historic district. You will be able to visit boutiques, museums, and galleries full of art. Fort Worden State Park is also located in this port.

You can finally rest at Seattle after a whole week of sailing. This is not the end of the fun, however. You can enjoy the sounds and sights offered by the Pacific Northwest.
