Seattle Cruise Port Transfers
Cruise Port Transfers to Pier 91 & Pier 66
Private chauffeured transfers between Sea-Tac Airport, your hotel and the Seattle cruise port. Flight tracking on embarkation morning, every bag carried to the porters, fixed all-inclusive fares and dispatch staffed 24 hours a day right through Alaska season.
Quick Answers
The four things cruise passengers ask us before sailing day — answered plainly.
What is a Seattle cruise port transfer?
It is a private chauffeured ride between your arrival point — Sea-Tac Airport, a downtown hotel or your home — and the Seattle cruise terminal at Pier 91 Smith Cove or Pier 66 Bell Street. The vehicle carries your party only, every bag is handled by the chauffeur, and the fare is fixed before sailing day.
Which pier does my cruise ship use in Seattle?
Pier 91 at Smith Cove in Magnolia handles Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Carnival and Celebrity sailings. Pier 66 at the Bell Street terminal downtown handles Holland America and Oceania. Give us your cruise line and sailing date and we will confirm the correct pier when you book.
How much is a cruise port transfer in Seattle?
From Sea-Tac Airport to either pier is $99 in an executive sedan, $139 in a premium SUV and $239 in a 14-passenger Sprinter. From a downtown Seattle hotel it is $75 in a sedan and $110 in an SUV. Every fare includes the chauffeur, fuel, tolls, terminal access and luggage handling.
How long does it take to reach the Seattle cruise port?
Allow 35 to 45 minutes from Sea-Tac to Pier 91 and 30 to 40 minutes to Pier 66, and roughly 15 to 20 minutes from a downtown hotel to either terminal. On turnaround Saturdays in Alaska season we build extra margin into the pickup time for Alaskan Way and the Magnolia Bridge approach.
The One Journey Your Cruise Will Not Wait For
Every other part of a holiday has slack in it. This part does not. A ship leaving Smith Cove at 4 p.m. leaves at 4 p.m., and a family standing at Sea-Tac with eight cases while a ride-hailing app quotes surge pricing on an Alaska-season Saturday is a poor way to begin.
So we plan cruise port transfers backwards from your boarding window rather than forwards from the pickup. Dispatch knows how Alaskan Way behaves on turnaround days, how long the Magnolia Bridge approach to Pier 91 takes when four ships are in, and which Sea-Tac door clears fastest when a morning bank of flights lands together. Margin is built in before you ever see a quote.
Afterwards the same applies in reverse. Disembarkation never runs exactly to the printed schedule, so pickups are timed to your luggage tag group with free wait time included, and you reach your flight without the kerbside scramble. Ten years and more than 15,000 completed rides across the Puget Sound sit behind that judgement.
