Itinerary

Stop 1

Passing by

Begin your cruise from Seattle’s historic and lively central waterfront! As you cruise by various piers and landmarks, you’ll see popular sights like the Space Needle, Great Wheel, Overlook Park, etc.
Seattle Great Wheel

Passing by

See the Seattle Great Wheel in its entirety as you cruise by Pier 57! Another popular location for both water and city views. This attraction opened in 2012, doubling as a fun ride and a great place for expansive views.
Myrtle Edwards Park

Passing by

See one of Seattle’s many green spaces, Myrtle Edwards Park. With a 1.25 mile biking and pedestrian path along Elliott Bay, this small but mighty park holds fantastic views of both the water and city. This park is closely connected to downtown Seattle and the neighborhood of Magnolia.
Space Needle

Passing by

The Summer Views Cruise will go by the iconic landmark, the Space Needle. You’ll be able to take photos from our unobstructed view of the famous Space Needle, while also snapping the landmark itself in the skyline as a whole.
Stop 5

Passing by

Terminal 91 is one of Seattle’s main cruise terminals. When in port, see one of many gigantic passenger cruise ships. While one tour during cruise season, learn about Seattle’s longstanding ties to Alaska’s inside passage.
Olympic Mountain Range

Passing by

Surrounding Elliott Bay and the Puget Sound is the Olympic Mountain Range. Visible across the water from Seattle, you’ll enjoy the beauty of its rugged terrain and on a clear day see it’s snow capped peaks. Get both city and nature views!
Stop 7

Passing by

Enjoy sweeping views of this large inland estuary, that lies between the Olympic Peninsula and Seattle metropolitan area. Approximately 95 miles long, see views of popular mountain ranges like the Olympics. If you’re lucky, you might even get a glimpse of some wildlife!
Mount Rainier National Park

Passing by

Weather permitting, catch a glimpse of the 14,410 ft tall volcano that sits just 60 miles southeast of Seattle. Being one of Seattle’s most iconic natural landmarks, Mount Rainier or also commonly known as Mount Tahoma, is a gem of a view. It is the highest point in the Cascade Range.
Alki Point Lighthouse

View West Seattle and the Alki Point Lighthouse from the water. The lighthouse is a fully functioning and automated aid-to-navigation on an active US Coast Guard site and holds rich history of Seattle from the 1800’s.
Stop 10
