Terminal overview

Where it is

Pier 91 is northwest of the downtown core and is built for heavy embarkation traffic with dedicated ground transportation access.

2001 W Garfield St, Seattle, WA 98119, USA

Best use

Best for larger homeport sailings, luggage-heavy groups, and cruise days where direct airport or hotel transfers matter most.

What to know

Built for bigger cruise volume

Pier 91 handles a broader group of homeport sailings, so planning the transfer window early helps avoid a tighter cruise-day rush.

Leave more room on cruise days

Pier 91 is farther from the downtown hotel core than Pier 66, which makes route timing more important when traffic is heavy.

Good with direct transfer planning
