SEA Airport to Pier 91: Your Cruise Day Guide
How long it takes, when to leave and how to make boarding day easy.
How far is Pier 91 from SEA Airport?
Pier 91, also called Smith Cove Cruise Terminal, is north of downtown Seattle in the Magnolia area. The drive from SEA Airport takes about 30–40 minutes without traffic.
When should I leave?
Check your boarding time on your cruise documents. On sailing days the roads near the terminal get busy, so plan to leave the airport with at least 90 minutes before your boarding window closes.
Flying in on sailing day?
It works, but it is risky. If you can, fly in the day before and stay at a downtown hotel. If you do fly in the same day, book a private car with flight tracking so your driver is ready the moment you land.
Luggage tips
Cruise bags are big. Two people with two large bags each fit well in an SUV. Groups of six or more do best in a van or Sprinter.
