Seattle cruise shuttle service to Pier 66 and Pier 91
An Alaska cruise is often a family trip or a milestone celebration, and the ride to the ship should feel like part of it. A shuttle service by minibus or Sprinter van with a driver brings the group from Sea-Tac or a downtown hotel to the right pier together.
Pier 66 or Pier 91: check your ship first
Seattle has two cruise terminals, and they are not next to each other. Norwegian and Oceania sail from the Bell Street Cruise Terminal at Pier 66, which has a transport lot with bus parking in front. Most other lines use the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal at Pier 91, which has bus parking near the entrance, plus its own entry and exit set aside for cruise buses. Tell us your cruise line when you book so the driver heads for the right pier.

From Sea-Tac to the pier
Sea-Tac is about 15 miles from the piers, 30 to 45 minutes by road. If you take a cruise-line bus, you board it from the baggage claim level, while a private minibus or Sprinter van meets you at the airport's pickup area for its vehicle type. Send every flight number, and if people land across the morning, tell us whether the group prefers to wait together or travel in smaller runs.
A morning in the city before boarding
Many groups fly in a day early and want a last look at the city. Pike Place Market is close to Pier 66, but its charter bus zone allows only 15 minutes, so plan a quick drop and a set pickup time. Keep the suitcases with the vehicle and the day stays simple. Let us know the plan when you book, since extra hours change the quote.
