The Terminal

Smith Cove, handled door to ship.

Pier 91 - the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal - sits in Interbay between Magnolia and Queen Anne, north of downtown, and is Seattle's largest cruise terminal with two berths, primarily serving Princess, Holland America, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity on Alaska sailings April through October. Unlike Pier 66, Smith Cove is not walkable from downtown hotels - a planned ride is the way in. We provide flat-rate transfers from Sea-Tac timed to your boarding window, hotel pickups from downtown and the airport area, and disembarkation-morning rides back to SEA with your flight buffer planned. Every ride is pre-booked at a fixed price with gratuity included, luggage handled door to ship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pier 91, answered.

Pier 91 is the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal in Interbay, between Magnolia and Queen Anne just north of downtown Seattle. It is the city's largest cruise terminal with two berths, primarily serving Princess, Holland America, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity from April through October. Confirm your pier on your cruise documents and we will route accordingly.

Pier 91 transfers are flat-rate, fixed at booking with gratuity included and no surge - Smith Cove sits just north of downtown, and your exact cruise transfer is confirmed at booking. SUVs and groups are quoted by vehicle; published routes are shown on the page for reference.

Realistically, no - Smith Cove sits in Interbay along the working waterfront, away from downtown hotels and light rail, which is why a planned ride is the standard way in. We bridge it door-to-terminal from any hotel or address.

Ships typically arrive early morning and most guests are ashore between about 7:30 and 10 a.m. With a pre-booked transfer waiting at the terminal, flights from around noon onward are generally comfortable. Tell us your disembarkation details and we will plan the pickup and buffer.

Cruise travel means big bags. Our executive sedans hold a couple of travelers with luggage comfortably, luxury SUVs are the right call for families and extra cases, and Sprinter vans handle groups of up to 14 with everything stowed. Tell us your party size and bag count and we will recommend the fit.

Cruise season runs April through October and embarkation days are busy, so we recommend booking as soon as you have your sailing and flights - at least 48 to 72 hours ahead. We dispatch 24 hours a day for last-minute requests when availability allows.
