Cruise Transfers

Every Way to and from Your Ship

Seattle Airport (SeaTac) to the Cruise Terminal

We track your flight, meet you at the airport, load your luggage and drive straight to the terminal's passenger drop-off, with no shuttle stops on the way. The drive usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, longer at weekday rush hour or when several ships are in port.

Hotel or Home to the Pier

Many cruisers fly in the day before and stay downtown or near the airport, which removes flight-delay risk entirely. We pick you up at your hotel or home anywhere in Greater Seattle and get you to the ship within your check-in window.

Pier to SeaTac or Home

On disembarkation day we time your pickup to your disembarkation group, with 30 minutes of free wait time at the terminal, then $1 per minute. From the pier we take you to SeaTac, your hotel or home. Flying out the same day? Ask your cruise line whether the Port's Port Valet bag service is offered on your sailing.

Groups & Luggage

Private Van or Shared Shuttle?

Cruise parties often travel together, with two or three suitcases each. A shared airport shuttle charges per seat, adds a fee for extra luggage, runs on its own schedule and stops for other passengers. A private Sprinter van with your own chauffeur:

  • Carries up to 14 passengers per van, with more vans for bigger parties
  • Leaves when your group is ready, not on a fixed timetable
  • Tracks your flight and waits for the whole group
  • Has premium bottled water for everyone, and Wi-Fi on request when you book
  • Is one flat, all-inclusive price from $250, with no per-seat or extra-luggage charges, which often costs less in total than shuttle seats for a large party
Choose Your Vehicle

Count Your Bags, Not Just Your People

Tell us how many suitcases you have and we'll send the right vehicle. If the bags won't fit, we send a second one.

  • Executive or First Class Sedan: 1–3 passengers, about 3 bags (Executive Sedan from $120)
  • Executive or First Class SUV: 1–6 passengers, about 6 bags (Executive SUV from $144)
  • Sprinter van: up to 9 passengers, or up to 14 at full capacity, with room for 10 or more bags (from $250)

Pricing: rides start from $120 in an Executive Sedan, $144 in an Executive SUV and $250 in a Sprinter van, all-inclusive, with taxes, fees and gratuity included, no surge pricing and no extra charge for luggage. Your exact flat rate depends on your pickup point and vehicle, and you see it before you book.

Plan Ahead

Tips for a Smooth Cruise Day

  • Book early in peak season. Summer weekends are the busiest days at both piers.
  • Leave a buffer if you fly in on sailing day. Missing the ship costs far more than an earlier flight.
  • Keep documents and medications in your carry-on. Checked luggage reaches your stateroom later in the day.
  • Book both directions together, so your return pickup is locked in at a flat rate too.

Cruise FAQ

Seattle Cruise Transfer Questions

Book a private Sprinter van: one vehicle carries up to 14 passengers, so your group of 8 rides together from SeaTac straight to the cruise terminal, usually 30 to 45 minutes away. Tell us how many suitcases you have. If the bags won't fit in one van, we send a second vehicle.

About 14 miles to Pier 66 (Bell Street) and 17 miles to Pier 91 (Smith Cove). The drive usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, longer at rush hour or when several ships are in port.

In the 2027 season, Norwegian Bliss, Encore and Joy and Oceania Riviera sail from Pier 66 (Bell Street, downtown). Carnival, Celebrity, Holland America, MSC, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Virgin Voyages sail from Pier 91 (Smith Cove, near Magnolia), and so do Norwegian Jade's September sailings. Ships are assigned by sailing, so check your cruise documents, or tell us your ship and sailing date and we'll confirm it.

Rides start from $120 in an Executive Sedan, $144 in an Executive SUV and $250 in a Sprinter van, all-inclusive, depending on your pickup point and vehicle. You see your flat rate before you book, with taxes, fees and gratuity included and no extra charge for luggage.

Nothing extra for the first 30 minutes: cruise pickups include 30 minutes of free wait time, then $1 per minute. We time your pickup to your disembarkation group and stay in touch by phone or text.

Often, yes, for larger parties. A shared shuttle charges per seat, adds fees for extra luggage and stops for other passengers. Our private Sprinter van carries up to 14 people, leaves when your group is ready, and is one flat all-inclusive price from $250 with no luggage charges.

We recommend booking 3–7 days in advance, especially during the summer cruise season. We also accommodate last-minute bookings, so call us directly.
