Port of Seattle

Seattle, Washington is a beautiful port city with a wide array of nightlife and family attractions available. The Port of Seattle serves as a weekly departure point for five major cruiselines.

• Celebrity Cruises departs from Pier 66’s Bell Street Pier Cruise Terminal. One of its boats, the Infinity, makes a weekly trip to Alaska. The second, the Mercury, takes a 3-4 day journey through the Pacific Northwest.
• Holland America Line has three ships (the Amsterdam, Oosterdam and Westerdam), all which take 7 day journeys to Alaska. These ships depart from Terminal 30 Cruise Terminal.
• The Norwegian Cruise Line has two ships, the Norwegian Star and the Norwegian Pearl. These ships embark on 7 day cruises to Alaska in the summer (beginning on Saturdays and Sundays) and depart
  from Pier 66’s Bell Street Pier Cruise Terminal.
• Princess Cruises also offers 7 day cruises to Alaska. Its two ships, the Golden Princess and the Star Princess, depart from Terminal 30 Cruise Facility on Saturdays and Sundays.
• Royal Caribbean’s ship, the Rhapsody of the Seas, leaves Terminal 30 for Alaska every Friday for an excellent 7 day cruise.

The Port is also home to several marinas, where you can moor private boats. Bell Harbor Marina, Fishermen’s Terminal and Harbor Island Marina are three of these, all with plenty of dock space, and Shilshole Bay Marina has been described as the sailing center of the Northwest – and is, naturally, an excellent place to moor your sailboat or powerboat. The cruise port is 30 miles from the airport.
