Additional Information

Embark on an informative sea journey around Elliott Bay and Seattle Harbor, exploring Seattle’s historic waterfront from the seaside of the dock. The cruise hugs the coastline, offering intimate perspectives of the piers, harbors, and local landmarks. Among the many points of interest encircling the bay include the Port of Seattle - one among America’s busiest ports, Colman Dock - the chief dock of the nation’s largest ferry service and Pier 90 - the hub of the area’s cruise ship activities. Also in sight are Alki Beach - a popular locale during the summer, the Space Needle, the renowned Hotel Edgewater, the Great Wheel, and the Seattle Aquarium. Not to be missed is the stunning panorama of the beautiful landscape that envelopes Seattle: the imposing Olympic Mountains to the west, the solitary Mount Rainier to the southeast, and the welcoming Cascade Range to the east.

Great way to see the skyline. - I got the early board with my mom and the staff was super friendly. Told us where to sit to get the best views. It was a gorgeous day…. No rain so we sat up top. Also. Had the caprese sandwich and it was delicious. Love these harbor tours!

Fun, Quick trip around the harbor. - This was a very fun and informative hour long cruise around the harbor. Our guide shared some interesting local facts and got us some great photo opportunities. I was nervous about getting queasy but it was a calm clear day and i did fine. I would totally go for a longer trip if I were to go again. They have bathrooms onboard and food is available to purchase.

Harbor Cruise - The harbor cruise was fun, and we were able to see sights of Seattle we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. Parking was very difficult to find though.

Nice views of Seattle - Was the perfect amount of time to see Seattle from a different perspective. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided some great history of the city. the only downside was, it was difficult, at times, to hear the tour guide, mainly because there were a few people who were talking fairly loud and really not paying attention to the tour guide. Not sure why they took this cruise.
