Seattle Harbor Cruise

Overview

Get acquainted with Seattle's historic waterfront from the water side of the wharf on this fully narrated cruise of Elliott Bay and Seattle Harbor. This cruise follows the shoreline and provides up-close views of the piers, ports and area attractions. There are plenty of interesting features around the bay: the Port of Seattle (one of the busiest ports in the United States), Colman Dock (the main dock of the largest ferry system in the US), and Pier 90 (home of the region's cruise ship business), Alki Beach (major local summertime hangout), the Space Needle, the famous Hotel Edgewater, the Great Wheel and the Seattle Aquarium. Last but not least, enjoy tremendous views of the natural beauty that surrounds Seattle. The majestic Olympic Mountains lie to the west, solitary Mount Rainier to the southeast, and the inviting Cascade Range to the east.

Was walking around on the docks and they had a sale for the last cruise of the day for 18 bucks, decided I had several hours left to kill for the day and decided to go out on the cruise. It was a great sight seeing cruise of the city from the water, it does a large loop, goes out north past the space needle, out into the harbor where you can get a picture of the entire city and then over to the shipyards and stadiums, and back to the return to the dock near the big ferris wheel. Great way to spend an hour if you got it.

I definitely recommend this boat tour! It was a little cold when we went in early February, but they had indoor seating. They sell food and drinks on the boat, which was nice. The narrator for the boat tour was amazing! I learned so many new facts about Seattle. Make sure you sit on the right side of the boat! It has way better views!

We had an early afternoon flight so we booked a noon departure for the harbor cruise. We found the staff friendly and organized and they departed and returned on time. We enjoyed the commentary about the highlights of the harbor and the history. Very engaging with the guests. One of our best experiences in Seattle.
