![]() Many hotels in the area offer shuttle service to the piers as an incentive to book with them. If you plan to stay in Seattle before your cruise, then it’s smart to book a hotel that offers transportation to the cruise port. One option you might not think about at first is also one of the easiest. You’ll want to call the cruise line directly for the latest price and to book for your cruise, but expect the price to be $30-40 per person, each way. Note that you cannot ride on another company’s shuttle if you aren’t cruising on their ship. If you are still interested, here are some recently quoted prices based on cruise lines. If you are arriving a day early or leaving later to give yourself time to explore the city, then the cruise line transfers won’t work for you.įor this reason, we suggest using alternative forms of transportation. While these rides offer some protection and convenience (since they are affiliated with the cruise line, you don’t have to worry about missing the ship), they can be quite expensive, especially when traveling with larger groups or families since they are priced per person.Īs well, they can be restrictive since they normally operate only for a few hours on the day of the cruise and only go back and forth between the airport and cruise port. So a couple traveling together would pay around $70 to get to the ship. For instance, Carnival offers a round-trip ride for $35 per person, each way. The cruise lines themselves are happy to give you a ride to the port, for a charge. Cruise Line Transfers You can catch a shuttle from the airport to the cruise port, but it can be pricey. Then you pay a flat-rate for your destination. You reserve ahead of time and a car will be sent to meet you. These cars are like a cross between traditional cabs and Uber/Lyft. This zone covers the Pier 66 cruise terminal, however, the Pier 91 terminal is out of the flat-rate zone so it will be slightly higherįlat-rate taxis are also available, with an ahead-of-time reservation option. Seattle Yellow Cab does offer a $40 flat rate from downtown Seattle back to the airport. More than two adults will see a small additional charge, but minors don’t count (perfect for a family heading on a cruise). In general, expect to pay $40-60 each way to get to the port for two adults. Seattle Yellow Cab is the most visible company in the city and has stands in the Sea-Tac International Airport. If you’re wanting to take a taxi, it offers one of the easiest ways of getting to the Seattle cruise ports, but we’d still favor using Uber or Lyft over a regular cab. So if you are traveling with others, the price per person is pretty low.įor more details on using Uber/Lyft to the Port of Seattle (including price estimates), visit our page on the topic. One more thing to keep in mind is that this price is for the car, not per person. As well, if coming from somewhere other than the airport, then it’s no problem to catch a ride no matter where you are. ![]() ![]() In addition, since this is a private ride, you can ask your driver to make stops on the way if you forgot anything or want to pick up some snacks before the cruise. The ride-share services will cost an estimated $35-50 from the airport to the cruise terminals. In a tech-hub like Seattle, it’s only right that the best way to get to the cruise port is using a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft.īoth Uber and Lyft operate in Seattle, providing a convenient way for people to get from the airport, hotel, - or anywhere else - to the cruise port. Public transportation (to Pier 66) and hotel shuttles are also good ideas. Independent shuttles can be ideal if traveling with larger groups. Not only is it among the most affordable options, but it also allows stops and transport to places like hotels or landmarks. In general we’d recommend Uber/Lyft to the cruise port. Fortunately, there are plenty of options for reaching the port, even if you don’t have a car. The trip is a 20-30 minute ride, depending on traffic. If flying in, the airport is about 15 miles south of the cruise ports, which are located in downtown Seattle. To help you find your way, we’ve put together this guide of all your options. There’s no shortage of ways to get around Seattle to the cruise port, from taxies to Uber to public transportation. But if you are flying into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, you likely need a little help in navigating from the airport to the cruise port or from an area hotel to the terminal. If you’re from the Seattle area, that might not be a big deal. Before your cruise can start, you have to get to the port first!
