Discover Seattle

The home of Starbucks, Frasier, and of course the Space Needle. With views out across the breath takingly beautiful Puget Sound and surrounded by forest Seattle is a city that effortlessly combines the fast-paced modern life with quiet contemplation. If you have time stop in at the beautiful Chihuly Garden for mind-blowing glass sculpture.

Upper Class customers will enjoy a full 180-degree flatbed to ensure you won’t be sleepless to Seattle (sorry).

The Space Needle

The iconic spire of the Space Needle can be admired all over town — but the best views are from its observation deck.
