Hotel Five - A Staypineapple Hotel
Based on2565 reviews
Number of Nights : 4 Nights
Hotel Rating : Moderate
Room Type: Urban Two Queen
Meals: Room Only
Offering easy access to Seattle’s most iconic sights and attractions is Hotel Five, a Staypineapple Hotel. From its central downtown position, reach the Space Needle and Pike Place Market in less than 15 minutes. Guests are also spoiled for choice on the dining and leisure front, with restaurants, cafes, bars, live music venues, and more a mere stone’s throw away.
All 116 guest rooms are just as fun and funky as you’d expect. As well as a vibrant colour palette, a comfy king or queen-size bed, flatscreen TV, tea/coffee maker, and bathroom with rainfall shower are also included. The suites offer extra space and have a living room with a sofa bed, plus a bathroom with walk-in shower for two. A mini-fridge means you don’t always have to leave your room to enjoy a drink or snack - perfect for loved-up couples.
Be sure to take breaks from streaming your favourite shows to your in-room HDTV with STREAMPINEAPPLE to make your way down to the lobby. Here you’ll find the Water Bar offering unlimited water bottle refills. Refills are also much welcome before heading out to explore the city on foot - or on two wheels courtesy of the hotel’s rental bike scheme. Whether you’re in the city to relax or roam, Hotel Five has it covered.
Room Type: Full Board cruise (All Inclusive available)
Discover a cruise like no other on the Celebrity Edge, where innovation, design, and luxury come together at every turn.
The Magic Carpet, the ship's cantilevered platform, transforms into a bar, restaurant, or embarkation point, offering sweeping ocean views unlike anything else at sea. Infinite Veranda staterooms open completely to the water with the touch of a button, blending indoor comfort with the freedom of the outdoors.
At the heart of the ship, Eden combines lush greenery, live performances, and bold design into a space where every visit feels immersive. For privacy and exclusivity, The Retreat offers a dedicated pool, lounge, and restaurant, with personalised service in a serene setting away from the crowds.
With over 4,000 curated art pieces and four distinctive main dining venues, the ship turns every corridor into a gallery and every meal into an experience.
The Space Needle is usually the first landmark to catch the eye, rising above a skyline framed by Puget Sound on one side and the Cascade Mountains on the other. Pike Place Market is worth braving the crowds for, with fishmongers tossing salmon overhead and local vendors selling everything from fresh flowers to handmade crafts. This is also where modern coffee culture first took root, so a cup here feels a bit like a small pilgrimage.
On clear days, Mount Rainier looms over the skyline from nearly anywhere in the city, a quiet reminder of how close the wilderness sits to the urban core. Between the ferries crisscrossing the sound and neighbourhoods built into rolling hills, Seattle has a layered, working-city energy that rewards a bit of extra time before or after the cruise. The city's tech-driven growth over the past few decades has reshaped much of its skyline, but older neighbourhoods like Ballard and Fremont still hold onto a distinctly local, unpolished charm.

Day 3
Port
Ketchikan, Alaska
Arrival
06:00
Departure
16:00
Remark
Ketchikan has earned its nickname as the Salmon Capital of the World many times over. Salmon run right through the creek in town, often visible from the historic Creek Street boardwalk, once the town's red-light district, now home to charming shops and galleries built on pilings above the water. Just outside town stands the largest collection of standing totem poles anywhere in the world, carved by the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples whose heritage runs generations deep here.
Rain is practically part of the local identity, with well over 100 inches falling each year, but it's exactly what keeps the surrounding rainforest so lush and the rivers running high with fish. The town's fishing heritage runs deep, and it shows in everything from the working boats lining the harbour to the seafood served in nearly every restaurant downtown. Zipline through the rainforest canopy, cast a line for salmon, or simply wander the misty streets, Ketchikan has a way of lingering in memory long after the ship sails on.
Day 4
Port
Endicott Arm
Arrival
05:30
Departure
10:00
Remark
Thirty miles into the Tongass National Forest, the fjord narrows and the scenery turns dramatic: granite walls rising over 3,000 feet, carved smooth by glaciers that finished their work centuries ago. Waterfalls spill down from the snow line in delicate ribbons, some visible from more than a mile away. At the far end, Dawes Glacier makes its presence known. Ice breaks free with a crack that echoes across the water well before the splash follows, while seals rest calmly on drifting ice floes, unfazed by the spectacle around them.
The water often takes on a milky turquoise hue near the glacier, tinted by fine rock sediment carried out in the meltwater, and mornings can bring low cloud that lifts quickly, transforming the fjord's mood within minutes. Because there's no port infrastructure here, Endicott Arm remains one of the more untouched corners of southeast Alaska, visited almost exclusively by cruise ships passing through on scenic days. That relative isolation is part of its appeal, offering a glimpse of wilderness that has changed remarkably little since long before ships began sailing these waters.
Day 4
Port
Juneau, Alaska
Arrival
13:30
Departure
21:45
Remark
No roads lead to Juneau, only boats and planes, a fitting detail for a capital city that still feels genuinely wild. Mountains rise on one side, water stretches out on the other, leaving little room in between for anything but a compact, character-filled downtown. Mendenhall Glacier sits just 12 miles from the city centre, close enough for an easy afternoon visit, its brilliant blue ice framed by waterfalls and forest trails, while black bears occasionally appear fishing in nearby streams and humpback whales surface in the surrounding channel.
Downtown is easy to explore on foot, lined with weathered wooden storefronts, excellent seafood spots, and a state capitol building tucked in almost casually among them. It's a rare case of a capital city that feels more like a frontier outpost than a seat of government. That isolation has also shaped Juneau's identity in unexpected ways, from a strong local arts scene to a genuine sense of community among residents who choose to live somewhere so remote, character that comes through quickly even on a short visit.
Day 5
Port
Skagway, Alaska
Arrival
06:30
Departure
18:00
Remark
Walking down Skagway's main street feels like stepping back into 1898, with wooden boardwalks, false-front buildings, and gold rush-era signage still intact. The White Pass and Yukon Route Railway is the highlight for most, climbing through dramatic mountain passes once crossed on foot by hopeful prospectors, past waterfalls and gorges that never lose their appeal.
At the height of the gold rush, Skagway's population briefly rivalled Seattle's, before nearly emptying out once the easy gold ran dry. Today's much smaller year-round population is part of why the town has kept such a tight, well-preserved historic core rather than sprawling outward over the decades. Many of the original buildings along the main street are still standing, now serving as shops, saloons, and small museums that keep the gold rush story alive in a hands-on way, it's easy to spend an entire afternoon here without ever leaving the historic district.
Day 5
Port
Alaska Inside Passage
Arrival
18:30
Departure
22:30
Remark
The water here is often calm as glass, which is surprising given how much wild scenery surrounds it. For nearly 500 miles, the ship winds between islands and mainland, past cliffs that drop straight into the sea and forests that stretch untouched for miles. It's the kind of stretch that naturally quiets a room. Wildlife sightings tend to come without warning, a whale's fin might break the surface for a moment and disappear, or an eagle might be perched high in the spruce, easy to miss unless someone points it out. This isn't a single landmark to check off a list, it's hours of shifting scenery that never quite repeats itself, tying together many of Alaska's most memorable ports.
Longtime travellers of these waters say the light is what makes each passage feel different, morning fog lifting to reveal peaks that weren't visible an hour earlier, or evening sun turning the channel a warm gold. The passage also played a role in Alaska's history long before cruise ships arrived, serving as a route for Native trade canoes, gold rush steamers, and fishing fleets alike. Traveling it today means following a corridor that's shaped commerce, culture, and exploration for centuries, even as the surrounding wilderness has barely changed.

Day 7
Port
Victoria, British Columbia
Arrival
17:30
Departure
23:59
Remark
Victoria carries the charm of an English countryside town, gracefully set down along the edge of the Pacific. The Inner Harbour does much of the visual work, with the Parliament Buildings and the ivy-draped Fairmont Empress glowing warmly once the evening lights come on, while just outside the city, Butchart Gardens spans more than 55 acres of vibrant blooms and easily justifies the trip on its own.
Back downtown, traditional afternoon tea remains a beloved ritual, boutique-lined streets invite easy wandering, and whale watching tours head out regularly, with orcas and humpbacks making frequent appearances. The city's mild, temperate climate has earned it a reputation as one of Canada's most pleasant year-round destinations, and that same climate is part of what allows Butchart Gardens to bloom so reliably, making Victoria a rewarding stop no matter what time of the cruise season it's visited.
