About this activity

Get acquainted with Seattle's historic waterfront from the water side of the wharf on this fully narrated cruise of Elliott Bay and Seattle Harbor. This cruise follows the shoreline and provides up-close views of the piers, ports and area attractions. There are plenty of interesting features around the bay: the Port of Seattle (one of the busiest ports in the United States), Colman Dock (the main dock of the largest ferry system in the US), and Pier 90 (home of the region's cruise ship business), Alki Beach (major local summertime hangout), the Space Needle, the famous Hotel Edgewater, the Great Wheel and the Seattle Aquarium. Last but not least, enjoy tremendous views of the natural beauty that surrounds Seattle. The majestic Olympic Mountains lie to the west, solitary Mount Rainier to the southeast, and the inviting Cascade Range to the east.

The Flow of Seattle

The guide was absolutely incredible, charming, and wise! Enjoyed his enthusiasm and knowledge. The trip covered all of downtown Seattle and the ports. Excitingly enough, we passed battleships and learned some interesting details about the ships.

Well worth the time, money and effort to experience this!

Had a great time, very informative and the harbor views of Seattle were amazing. Crew was very pleasant; we learned a lot about the area and would definitely do it again. What a beautiful place

Fun Way to See Seattle

My family of four enjoyed the 1 hour long Harbor Tour. Got our tickets through the City Pass, and exchanging them for "regular" tickets on the Argosy website was easy. Once we arrived at the peer, we were checked in quickly and had a short wait to board the boat. The Harbor Cruise is narrated, so if you want to hear what the tour guide is saying, you probably need to be inside (which has a nice bar and bathrooms). Otherwise, you are free to explore the ship and see the sights. I love seeing cities from the water, so I really enjoyed this, as you see downtown, the cruise piers, the container pier, and other facilities on the water. We really enjoyed it!

Great cruise

Best tourist cruise I’ve been on with great commentary. Great way to get an overview of the city from the water

Great Experience and Memory

It would be better to provide tourists with something warm because it is cold in winter. All the employees who worked were kind, and even though it was a short time, they carry memorable memories with their families.
