The Route

SEA to Smith Cove, door to ship.

The SeaTac-to-Pier 91 transfer runs about 16 miles and 25 to 40 minutes via SR-99 and Elliott Avenue to the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal in Interbay, between Magnolia and Queen Anne. Your chauffeur tracks your flight, meets you at baggage claim on request, loads the cruise luggage, and times the run so you arrive inside your boarding window - generally late morning to early afternoon ahead of a 3 to 5 p.m. sailaway. Pier 91 is Seattle's largest cruise terminal with two berths, primarily serving Princess, Holland America, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity, and it is not walkable from downtown - a planned ride is the way in. The fare is flat-rate, fixed at booking with gratuity included.

Frequently Asked Questions

SEA to Pier 91, answered.

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

About 16 miles and 25 to 40 minutes via SR-99 and Elliott Avenue, depending on traffic. We time the run to your boarding window, not just the distance.

Realistically, no - Smith Cove sits in Interbay away from downtown hotels and the light-rail line, which is why a planned ride is the standard way in. We drive door-to-terminal from the airport or any hotel.

Pier 66, the Bell Street Pier Cruise Terminal on the downtown waterfront, primarily serves Norwegian Cruise Line along with Oceania and Regent. Pier 91, the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal in Interbay, primarily serves Princess, Holland America, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity. Terminal assignments can change, so confirm the pier on your cruise documents and we will route accordingly.

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.
