Holland American does go from Seattle to Seattle, but they also go to
Glacier Bay which some other lines do not and they also have cruise
tours if someone wanted to do that.

And one nice thing they do, at least on their smaller ships, is open up
the bow of the ship for passengers to view the glaciers in Glacier Bay.
On many other cruise line ships, that area has a lot of mechanical
equipment so the area is closed off to passengers.

I did not realize that other lines didn't allow this, but I really
enjoyed being able to go out on the bow on our HAL cruise last summer.
It was not nearly as busy as I would have expected, and I was able to
get great movies of the glacier calving. The CD claimed it was better
than they had seen all summer; not sure if I believed that but I did
believe him when he said that some days they go there and there's nothing.
