Cruise ships in Seattle, Sun, September 12, 2027
3 ships in port: 1 at Pier 66, 2 at Pier 91.
Busy port day: 3 ships in Seattle (1 at Pier 66 and 2 at Pier 91)
Pier 91 has more than one ship this day, so the terminal curb and the roads to it are busier than on a one-ship day. Book the ride ahead, leave extra margin, and arrive in the window your cruise line assigned.
Flight, hotel, pier, flight home
Step 1
Fly into Seatac
Land on Sun, Sep 12 and ride straight to the ship, or land the day before and stay a night. The day-before plan means a late flight can't cost you the sailing.
Step 2
Optional: a night near the pier
Hotels that pair well with the pier: The Edgewater Hotel, Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Grand Hyatt Seattle. Each hotel page has the Seatac ride for that hotel.
Step 3
Ride to the pier
Seatac to Pier 66: about 34 min, 17 mi. Seatac to Pier 91: about 38 min, 19 mi. Time the pickup to your cruise line's boarding window.
Step 4
Ride back to Seatac
Book the pickup for the day the ship returns. Booking ahead means your car is set before you walk off the ship. Pier 66 to Seatac: about 37 min, 17 mi. Pier 91 to Seatac: about 41 min, 19 mi.
