Alaska cruise from Seattle in December 2023

December is typically a cold month in Alaska, with average temperatures ranging from 0°F to 20°F (-17°C to -6°C) depending on the region.

If you're considering an Alaskan cruise in December, you're in for a truly magical experience. While it may be one of the coldest months in Alaska, December offers unique opportunities to see the landscape transformed by snow and ice, and to enjoy festive holiday events. The winter weather can also bring opportunities to see the northern lights, which can be especially spectacular against the snowy landscape. It's important to pack warm clothing and gear, including a heavy coat, gloves, and a hat, as well as waterproof boots and a waterproof outer layer to protect against snow and rain.

While some of the wildlife in Alaska may be less visible during the winter months, December can still offer opportunities to see some of the state's most iconic animals. Visitors may be able to spot moose, caribou, and wolves, as well as bald eagles and other birds of prey. In the water, visitors can see humpback whales, orcas, and other marine life. Some tour operators even offer the opportunity to go ice fishing, which can be an unforgettable experience.

Complete Guide to Cruising from Seattle in 2023

by Prof. Cruise · Published January 18, 2023 · Updated January 18, 2023

Uncross your legs, remove your thumbs from third eye center, and open your eyes – that wasn’t a question I expected you to answer! I’m here to help with your cruise from Seattle, not launch you into an existential crisis. Besides, it’s obvious you’re a cruise lover or you wouldn’t be here. And does anything else about you even matter?

What I meant to do here was offer a brief introduction to myself for those new to profcruise.com and offer some insight into why I wrote this guide. In retrospect, I should have headlined this section, “Who is Prof. Cruise and why is she qualified to write a guide about cruising from Seattle?” Let’s try that again:

Who is Prof. Cruise and why is she Qualified to write a Guide about Cruising from Seattle?

For the past six years I’ve been answering that annoying icebreaker question, “tell us something unusual about yourself,” like this: I once wasted 9 years earning a bachelor’s degree and a Ph.D. and another 10 years working as a college professor before realizing my true passion: cruising. And writing about cruising. (I mean, I guess it wasn’t totally wasted, I love me some college cafeteria food.) So in 2016 I quit my job, sold my Pittsburgh house and nearly all my belongings, and moved to Seattle – to a downtown apartment with a view of and within walking distance to the two Seattle cruise piers. And the rest they say is…a subpar blog about my life as a Professor of Cruising.

So, having traded in my tweed sport coat with elbow patches for a new uniform:

I’m here to share with you everything I’ve learned about cruising from Seattle, which is quite a lot – I’ve sailed dozens of times from both Seattle cruise terminals on every non-luxury line and have helped numerous friends and family members plan cruises from and pre/post cruise vacations to Seattle.

So, what do you need to know before arriving in Seattle for your cruise? Read on!

Seattle’s Cruise Terminals: Two Going on Three

Currently there are two cruise ship terminals in Seattle – one, the Bell Street Cruise Terminal, at Pier 66 and the other, the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal, at Pier 91. It was also announced a few years ago that plans for a third terminal at Pier 46 are underway – it seems my prolific lobbying efforts have paid off.

Before we move on, it’s important to establish which cruise terminal you’ll be sailing out of .

Where will my Cruise Ship be Docked in Seattle in 2023?

Pier 66: Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Sun, Oceania Regatta

Pier 91: Carnival Luminosa, Carnival Spirit, Celebrity Solstice, Holland American Eurodam, Holland America Koningsdam, Holland American Nieuw Amsterdam, Holland America Noordam, Holland America Westerdam, Princess’s Discovery Princess, Princess’s Royal Princess, Royal Caribbean Ovation of the Seas, Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas.

Everything you Need to Know About Pier 66 (the Bell Street Cruise Terminal) in Seattle

Where is Pier 66 (the Bell Street Cruise Terminal) Located?

Address: 2225 Alaskan Way, Seattle, WA 98121

Pier 66 is located along the Seattle waterfront, very convenient to all things downtown.

What are the Closest Hotels to Pier 66?

There are two hotels within shouting distance to Pier 66, the Seattle Marriott Waterfront and the historic Edgewater Hotel . The Marriott is located across the street and the Edgewater about a block to the north. Both are pricey, but worth it for their location.

Where do I Park at Pier 66 for my Cruise from Seattle?

Parking for Pier 66 is located directly across the street on Alaskan Way. Vehicle entry is from Wall Street. Cost for parking at Pier 66 is $24 per day with a $1 per day discount available if you prepay online. Go here for detailed directions, additional information, or to pre-pay and reserve your spot.

How do I Get to Pier 66 from the Airport?

Your best options to get from the airport to Pier 66 (and from Pier 66 to the Seattle airport) include cruise line transfers, private cars or shuttles, a taxi, ride shares (Uber), and for hearty folks, the Link light rail.

Cruise Line Transfers to/from the Airport to/from the Bell Street Cruise Terminal (Pier 66)

Every cruise line operating out of Seattle offers both one-way and round trip transfers to/from Sea-Tac to/from Pier 66. These can be convenient and a good value if you’re traveling solo or in a small party, but can become costly for a larger group.

Norwegian: Generally $20-$30 per person one-way. Go here or to your online booking or travel agent for more information.

Oceania: Call (855) 623-2642 or consult your online booking to confirm price and book.

Shared Shuttle from the Airport to Pier 66

Shuttle Express offers a cheaper shared shuttle service ($25 one-way, $45 roundtrip) from many Seattle airport hotels to Pier 66 and from the airport to Pier 66 ($25 one-way, $45 roundtrip). This is a great option if you’re traveling solo. If you’re traveling in a group, a taxi or ride share may be cheaper.

Taking a Taxi from the Seattle Airport to Pier 66

Taxi’s are readily available at Sea-Tac and at the cruise terminal after your cruise. A metered ride from the airport will likely cost you between $40-$70, depending on traffic. After your cruise, cab companies will offer a $40 flat rate from Pier 66 to the airport. This is a good option if you don’t want to wait for a shuttle to arrive and load or have three or four people traveling in your party. More information for Yellow Cab can be found here .

Ride Share from Sea-Tac to Pier 66: Uber

A ride share such as Uber is another great option. A ride from the Seattle airport to Pier 66 and vice versa will usually cost around $45. This is comparable to a taxi and much more economical than a shuttle if you’re traveling with two or more people.

*Note: the street in front of Pier 66 is very congested on cruise days and there isn’t a great spot for ride share drivers to drop off/pick up. Consider walking a block to the north to the Edgewater Hotel and request they pick you up (or drop you off) there.

Is it Possible to take Public Transportation from Seatac Airport to Pier 66?

Yes! You can take the Link light rail. But be warned, this options involves a good deal of walking. While there is a light rail stop right at the Seattle airport, it’s a fairly long walk from the baggage claim area to the boarding station (there’s a little cart that can drive you, but you might have to wait a bit for it). Then, once you exit the light rail at your downtown stop, the Westlake Station, it’s another mile or so to Pier 66 (slight downhill on the way to the cruise terminal, slight uphill on the way from the cruise terminal back to the light rail station).

If you feel like you’re up for it, it’s the most cost effective option at $2.75 one-way per person ($1 for seniors). Travel time on the light rail (12 stops) is 38 minutes and you won’t risk sitting in traffic.

Here are walking directions from Westlake Station to Pier 66:

Everything you Need to know about Pier 91 (the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal) in Seattle

Where is Pier 91 (the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal) Located?

Address: 2001 West Garfield St. Seattle, WA 98119

Pier 91 is located in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood near downtown.

What are the Closest Hotels to Pier 91 in Seattle?

While there are no hotels within easy walking distance to Pier 91, there are several that are close and convenient by car, taxi, ride share, or hotel shuttle (noted below). I would recommend these three located in the Queen Ann neighborhood near Magnolia (all near the Seattle Center attractions including the Space Needle):

Homewood Suites (Homewood Suites offers a shuttle to Pier 91 for a fee – last I checked it was $9 per person)

The Mediterranean Inn (Mediterranean Inn offers a shuttle to Pier 91 for a fee – last I checked it was $10 per person. I know lots of people who have stayed here and loved it.)

The Halcyon Suite Du Jour

I’d Rather Stay Closer to the Downtown Tourist Attractions Before my Cruise, but I don’t want to Pay a Year’s Salary to do it. Is there a Less Expensive Hotel you’d Recommend?

Yes! I’d recommend the historic Moore Hotel . It’s located just two blocks from Pike Place Market, gets good reviews (people especially love the location for the price), and is fairly inexpensive for Seattle .

Where do I Park Pier 91?

Pier 91 Smith Cove Cruise Terminal Parking 2001 West Garfield St., Lot D, Seattle, WA 98119

Parking is available at Pier 91 for $29 per day with a $1 per day discount if you prepay online . The parking lot is located a bit of a walk from the terminal, but a free shuttle is available to transport you and your luggage.

How do I get to Pier 91 from the Airport?

Cruise line transfers from the airport to pier 91.

Carnival, Celebrity, Holland America, Princess, and Royal Caribbean all offer transfer shuttle services to/from the airport to/from Pier 91. Check your online booking or call the cruise line or your travel agent for cost and additional information. This can be an expensive option for a larger group, but can be cost effective if you’re a party of one or two.

Shared Shuttle from the Airport to Pier 91

Shuttle Express also offers a cheaper shared shuttle service ($25 one-way, $45 roundtrip) from many Seattle airport hotels to Pier 66 and from the airport to Pier 66 ($25 one-way, $45 roundtrip). This is a great option if you’re traveling solo. If you’re traveling in a group, a taxi or ride share may be cheaper.

Taxi from the Seattle Airport (Seatac) to Pier 91

Taxis are readily available at Sea-Tac and at the cruise terminal after your cruise. A metered ride to/from the airport will likely cost you between $50-$80, depending on traffic. This is a good option if you don’t want to wait for a shuttle to fill or have three or four people traveling in your party. More information for Yellow Cab can be found here .

Ride Share from the Airport to Pier 91: Uber

A ride share is likely the most economical route if your travel party is two or more. An Uber will cost around $50 to Pier 91 (Smith Cove Cruise Terminal) from the Seattle airport. There is a designated area for ride-share cars at the terminal.

Is it Possible to take Public Transportation from Seatac Airport to Pier 91?

Yes, it’s possible to get there by light rail and then a bus transfer, but it’s a bit tricky and not the best choice for the average out-of-town cruiser. For those who want to try it, here’s what you need to do:

Step one: Take the Link light rail from the airport to Westlake Center (12 stops).

Step two: Walk .8 miles to 3rd Ave & Cedar St. to catch the #33 bus toward Magnolia. Here are walking directions from Westlake Center:

-From Pine Street, turn right onto 4th Ave.

-Walk .6 miles on 4th Ave.

-Turn left onto Vine Street and walk two blocks.

-Turn right onto 3rd Ave and walk half a block until you see the #33 bus stop.

Step three: Get off the bus at Magnolia Bridge and Pier 91 (8th stop after you get on).

Step four: Follow these directions (thank you to fellow Seattleite Joe for giving me permission to include his video) to get from the #33 bus stop to the cruise terminal:

Can I take Public Transportation from Downtown Seattle to Pier 91

Yes! You’ll just skip step 1 in the directions above. So…

Start at 3rd Ave & Cedar St to catch the #33 bus toward Magnolia.

-Get off the bus at Magnolia Bridge and Pier 91 (8th stop after you get on).

-View the youtube video embedded above to get from the #33 bus stop to the cruise terminal.

Can I Walk to Pier 91 from Downtown Seattle?

Technically, yes. In fact, I run this route frequently and have walked from my downtown apartment to embark on a cruise from Pier 91 numerous times. However, this depends on a few factors like your fitness level and how much luggage you’ll have with you. I wouldn’t recommend it for the average traveler .

But if you’re fit and looking to burn off a few hundred final calories before fully embracing “all you can eat” or want a beautiful walk that will save you the cost of transportation to the pier, then go for it!

The distance from the Olympic Sculpture Park to Pier 91 is 1.8 miles (and once you’re on the trail, you’re basically committed as there aren’t many easy exit points). Be sure to use Google Maps or another map app to determine the exact distance from your starting point downtown.

How to Walk from Downtown Seattle to Pier 91

Check out my video with instructions on how to walk from downtown Seattle to the cruise terminal. If you try this, keep your eye out for sea lions, harbor seals, and bald eagles. I’ve spotted all of them along this trail.

Is it Safe to Arrive in Seattle on the Day of my Cruise?

There are many ways to get to Seattle for your cruise depending on your unique circumstances – train, bus, car, ferry, plane or, in my very fortunate case, foot. However you choose to travel, I’d strongly recommend you arrive at least the day before your cruise departs, unless you have travel insurance that would cover any possible travel delays (including getting stuck in traffic).

Seattle, and especially I-5, is notorious for traffic snarls. Even though I live downtown and avoid I-5 like the salad bar on the lido buffet, I’ve found myself parked in gridlock contemplating vehicle abandonment, “maybe a kind new owner will come along and give her a better life anyway,” dozens of times with, “at least I’m not trying to make a flight or a cruise,” as my only consolation. Don’t sacrifice your cruise to I-5, he’s a jerk and totally not worth it!

Besides, the earlier you arrive, the more time you have to explore my beautiful city and the surrounding region and the more opportunities you’ll have to run into Prof. Cruise. Let me warn you though, you might discover me later as a stowaway when unpacking your luggage: “surprise!” Don’t worry, I’m small and won’t take up too much room in the bed. At least before I order my standard two to three desserts in the MDR every night.

What Should I do in Seattle before or after my Cruise?

If you can spare the time and expense, consider spending some days in or around Seattle before or after your cruise. There’s so much to see and do!

Seattle CityPass

If you only have a day or two and want to hit the main tourist attractions near downtown, I’d strongly suggest purchasing a CityPASS . At just $115 for adults and $87 for children 5-12, it will save you a significant amount (nearly 50%) and will grant you admission to the Space Needle , Seattle Aquarium , and three additional attractions of your choice from the list below:

Argosy Cruises Harbor Tour

Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP)

Woodland Park Zoo

Chihuly Garden and Glass

You can buy the Seattle CityPASS here . We find this such a good value, we’ve purchased it several times ourselves to hit the sights with our out-of-town guests. They’re starting to recognize me at the Space Needle: “Oh, you again. You’re the one who passed gas in the elevator and then made a joke about it propelling us into space.”

Pike Place Market

If you didn’t spend all your money on DOD’s (drinks of the day), there are hundreds of shops, restaurants, seafood, flower, bakery, and produce stands, and local artisans available to separate you from your remaining dollars at the vast nine acre Pike Place Market historic district. And if you’re out of cash, stop by just for the people watching and street performers. We have some characters (in addition to Prof. Cruise)!

You can also book an organized tour that includes Pike Place Market . Here are some fun options.

Beneath the Streets Underground History Tour

Venture into Pioneer Square (you can walk there from downtown), Seattle’s original neighborhood, where you’ll explore the underground pathways that were built there more than 120 years ago and learn the fascinating history of the Emerald City. Go HERE for more information or to book your tour.

Snoqualmie Falls

This spectacular waterfall will be well-known to fans of the cult television series Twin Peaks and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Washington. It’s located about 25 miles from downtown Seattle and can be done on your own by renting a car downtown (there are quite a few rental car locations right downtown) or you can take an organized tour. Go HERE for available tours.

Is Downtown Seattle Safe?

You’ve probably seen and heard things about downtown Seattle on the news or on social media and may be wondering if it’s safe. As someone who’s lived downtown for 6 years and walks all over downtown Seattle for hours each day (dog mom), I’m here to reassure you that downtown Seattle is generally clean and safe. We have a dedicated team of Downtown Ambassadors identified in bright yellow shirts or vests who you will see keeping our streets and sidewalks clear of trash and your shoes clear of dog poop. They are also able to assist you with directions or answer your questions.

Do keep in mind that Seattle is a big city and take the same precautions you’d take in any large city (don’t leave anything in your car, stay alert and avoid anyone who seems sketchy, don’t let anyone hand you anything, etc). It’s true, we do have a homeless population (some of whom are suffering from mental illnesses) and you will see tents in some areas. You may also see signs of the opioid epidemic. But overall, I bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what a beautiful, vibrant, generally clean and safe city Seattle is.

Pro Tip: Avoid 3rd Ave (especially between Union Street and Pine Street). Much of the crime that takes place downtown is confined to that stretch, although efforts are underway to get it cleaned up.

My Flight Leaves Seattle Late in the Day. I Want to Explore the Area after my Cruise, but What do I do with My Luggage?

Port Valet! This awesome and almost too good to be true service offered by the Port of Seattle will transfer all your luggage to your airline after your cruise for FREE. It’s available at both Pier 66 and Pier 91 and applies to the following airlines if you’re traveling domestically:

Go here for more information and instructions on how to participate.

I’m Arriving to Seattle Early in the Morning and want to Explore the City Before my Cruise. But what do I do with my luggage?

If you’re looking for a place to store your luggage before or after your cruise (and port valet doesn’t work for you), there are a number of luggage storage services in Seattle that can help. Here are my two favorites:

BAGBNB ($6 per item, per day)

vertoe ($5.95 per item, per day)

What can I do in Seattle if I want to Avoid the Crowded Touristy Areas?

Hit the beach.

Fair warning, the popular tourist areas around downtown and the Seattle Center will be mobbed seven days a week during the cruise season. Arrive to attractions early to beat some of the crowds. But if you’d prefer a more peaceful and serene activity, consider spending some time at one of our beautiful parks or beaches . You can find my recommendations for great beaches near downtown Seattle (several of which are accessible via public transit from downtown) here .

Take a Ferry to Bainbridge Island

You can also hop on the Bainbridge Island Ferry at Pier 52 along the Seattle waterfront downtown and spend an afternoon exploring the shops, free art museum, and restaurants of Bainbridge Island. The small downtown area is within a short walk of the ferry and the ferry ride itself is beautiful! A roundtrip ferry ticket will cost you $9.25 for adults and $4.60 for seniors and youth. Go HERE for the schedule.

I’m Interested In Visiting One Of The National Parks Near Seattle

Or if you have longer, I’d strongly encourage a side trip to one of the nearby national parks, either Mt. Rainier or Olympic National Park. Go here for my guide to Mt. Rainier National Park and here for my guide to Olympic National Park. You can also book a tour to Mt. Rainier here or Olympic National Park here . My in-laws did the Mt. Rainier tour last time they visited us in Seattle and LOVED it.

What should I Eat in Seattle before or after my cruise?

Right now you’re probably thinking, “way to bury the lead, Prof!” But how else could I get you to read all that boring stuff?

Now when it comes to food, I generally approach it with the same attitude as a half-starved stray. Which is to say I’m not picky (sidewalk pizza crust anyone?) – I’m more of a quantity over quality kind of gal. And that’s one of the reasons I love cruising so much.

But in an ideal world, you’d have both, right? Quantity and quality. So why not bookend your week of binging on average quality cruise fare by sampling some high-quality local Seattle specialties? Here are my recommendations:

At Pike Place Market

After entering the market at 1st and Pike, your first stop should be Mee Sum Pastry to grab a BBQ pork bun (hom bao). Next make your way to Beecher’s Cheese where you can watch the cheese making process through the window while you wait in line for some cheese curds. And finally, no visit to Pike Place is complete without a Russian hand held pie from Piroshky, Piroshky . They have both savory and sweet options and my personal favorite is the Moscow roll.

ASEAN StrEAT (400 Pine Street) is a new addition to the heart of downtown Seattle and is one of my favorite spots to bring guests. This Southeast Asian food hall offers around a dozen different food stalls featuring dishes from Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. You’ll order and pay via a touchscreen kiosk and will receive a text when your order is ready.

Along the Waterfront

You didn’t think I forgot about seafood did you? For something quick and casual, hit the Ivars Fish Bar at Pier 54 (beloved by locals) or for a sit-down, indoor restaurant you can try Ivars Acres of Clams or sit outside and gaze at beautiful views of the Puget Sound at The Fisherman’s (order the King Crab and Bacon Sandwich – both my mom and in-laws get one of those every time they visit).

Pioneer Square

If you’re doing the Underground Tour in Pioneer Square, grab a sandwich from Salumi or sit down for some oysters at Taylor Shellfish (featured on Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown).

How about a Good Breakfast or Brunch Spot in Seattle?

Bacco Cafe right near Pike Place Market (86 Pine St). Try the dungeness crab benedict. Get there early though – there will be a line!

If you want a grab-‘n-go spot (there are a few tables outside, but they’re hard to snag), try Biscuit Bitch (also near the market at 1909 1st Ave).

Where can I get a Decent Cup of Coffee in this Town?

Besides on every single block of the entire city? My favorites are Storyville Coffee (up some stairs near the 1st and Pike entrance to Pike Place Market), Ghost Alley Espresso (right next to the gum wall), and Fonte (on 1st Ave, a block south of the market).

Where can I pick up a few Items in Downtown Seattle that I Forgot to Pack for my Cruise or some Sodas or Wine to Bring Onboard?

Corner stores and wine shops abound, but a sure bet for just about anything you may need is the Target located on 2nd Ave between Union and Pike St (right near Pike Place Market).

What’s the Earliest Safe Flight out of Seattle on the Way Home from my Cruise?

This is a tricky one as there are many factors at play, such as how early you’re able to get off the ship (they usually have to drag me off), your transportation plans to the airport, and the day of the week (weekdays will take a lot longer than weekends). As a general rule, I wouldn’t book a flight before noon unless you’re flexible and on an airline that will re-book you for free in the event you miss your flight. Keep in mind that the security line at Sea-Tac can sometimes take over an hour. It’s a VERY busy airport.

I would also strongly suggest you enroll in TSA Pre✓ if you’re flying out of Seattle. It will save you a tremendous amount of time and hassle. It’s a simple process and lasts for 5 years.

Do you have any Tips for Cruising to Alaska?

I mean, since you asked, I have a whole section of my blog dedicated to cruising to Alaska with dozens of articles on everything from choosing an itinerary to packing tips and excursion reviews. If this is your first cruise to Alaska, I’d start with my article, “ First Time Cruisers to Alaska: Answers to 10 Common Questions ,” my Alaska packing guide , and my article covering the best excursions for first time cruisers to Alaska .

Happy Cruising!

Say hello if you see me around downtown Seattle and please feel free to post any additional questions you may have in the comments or on my Facebook page and I’ll do my best to answer them. Most of all, enjoy your cruise from Seattle to Alaska (or wherever else your voyage may take you)! Seattle is my favorite place to live and Alaska is my favorite place to cruise. I hope you love them both as much as I do. Happy Cruising!

Class Dismissed.

Thanks so much

Wow, this is one of the most in-depth articles and detailed information I have ever come across for cruising out of Seattle. Very helpful! This needs to be published in a Seattle newspaper or magazine! 🙂 And I’m saying this after living in Seattle for over 30 years and counting! Great work!

That’s so kind of you to say! Means a lot coming from someone with such in-depth knowledge of all things cruising and Seattle!

My group plans on staying the night we get back from our cruise and flying out the next day. Any advice on what to do with our luggage before we head back to a hotel near SeaTac? Thanks for all this great info!

How about tips in Seattle, Victoria, Sitka, Skagway, and Juneau for mobility impaired/wheelchair bound.

All ship excursions (RC) are listed as not for mobility impaired. I have a motorized chair.

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi! I read on the Port of Seattle website that there’s a car rental terminal at the port. The only info it really provides is that it’s closed for the 2022 season. Do you know of anything for 2023? I’ll be cruising in May. Thank you!

Hi there! Last I heard, the rental car companies offered a free shuttle service from Pier 91 or Pier 66 to their downtown location. It would only be operating during cruise season though (which is probably why it said it was closed for 2022). I’d call the rental companies directly to verify this.

My flight doesn’t leave until 9pm on my return. There is a 3 hr difference (Tampa, FL) which means I don’t get home till 5:45am next day. Are there any sleep pods(?) Or rooms to rent hourly. A Senior Citizen

Special Events

A northwest tradition for over 70 years.

Argosy Cruises Christmas Ship™ Festival is a ship-to-shore holiday celebration that has been a Northwest tradition since 1949. The  Spirit of Seattle™ , the Official Christmas Ship™, is decorated with hundreds of shimmery white lights and sails to different Puget Sound waterfront communities – around 40 in all. Choirs on board the Christmas Ship™ perform to guests aboard, to follow boats, and to communities gathered on shore.

Stay tuned for our 2024 schedule & tickets!

Schedule Tickets   Special Events Holiday Store

Three ways to experience the Christmas Ship™ Festival

If your party is larger than 10 people, please call or inquire about a private holiday charter

This experience includes:

• 1.5-hour cruise to a waterfront community
• On board community choir
• Reading of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
• Full-service bar with specialty cocktails, local wine & beer, and non-alcoholic beverages

• Broadcast choir performance
• Photo booth and ugly sweater contest

The official Christmas Ship™, the Spirit of Seattle, is a family-friendly holiday experience on the water. When the Christmas Ship™ arrives at the designated parks, the choir on board sings a 20-minute concert which is broadcast to the surrounding boats and people onshore. Santa rides along to entertain, and a cruise director will guide you through the evening. Snacks, pre-wrapped food, and beverages are available for purchase.

The 21+ Follow Boat is another fully decorated Argosy Cruises boat that follows the Christmas Ship™ along the night’s cruise route. It stops with the Christmas Ship™ to hear the choir sing to those on shore as broadcast from the Christmas Ship™. This boat is adults-only and has select availability. View the schedule to find a 21+ event.

The Christmas Ship™ boat set up will be very similar to previous years with seating offered on the first deck and on the second deck in front of the choir. Both areas offer great opportunities to enjoy the festive decorations, hear the choir performances, and have access to a full-bar for food and drink. We also encourage guests to visit the outer decks to enjoy the sights of fellow boaters and onshore bonfires.

The performance will be live on the second deck and be live streaming onto a monitor for those on the 1st deck to watch and listen in.

It is not common, but we do like to warn parents that there may occasionally be more than one Santa on the dock during boarding times when we have multiple Argosy vessels sailing. We have often told our own children that they are Santa’s helpers who dress up and carry his messages, as he cannot be everywhere at once. Please know that there will be only one Santa on board your boat. It is not guaranteed that Santa will be on the Follow Boat.

A full list of our departure locations and parking options can be found on our Christmas Ship™ Departure Locations Page.

Unfortunately, we can’t keep the scheduled performances and hundreds of people waiting. Please arrive with plenty of time to find parking and complete the boarding process. We pull the boarding ramp up promptly at the scheduled departure time.

We recommend wearing warm, comfortable clothing and footwear (we recommend flat shoes that are not smooth-soled, stilettos are very strongly discouraged). Most guests enjoy both the indoor heated decks as well as the outdoor spaces. Please dress accordingly for both as we sail rain or shine. Festive holiday attire is always encouraged! Fun, festive accessories like hats, necklaces, earrings, etc. will be available for purchase onboard.

We recommend flat shoes that are not smooth-soled. While the boats are warm and comfortable, they do rock with the waves they are floating on. If it is raining, the dock and the boat deck can be slippery. Please watch your step and be aware of rainy docks and the motion of the waves.

We are so excited to share some of our favorite holiday drinks and snacks this year aboard the Christmas Ship™. To check out what other goodies we have onboard, view the full menu .

Planning to enjoy food onboard? Pre-order your favorite sandwich, salad, wrap or snack tray during the check-out process to guarantee availability. Then add on to your pre-ordered item with plenty of snacks, sweets, or a cup of Ivar’s Clam Chowder that we have onboard!

The last day to pre-order for your sailing will be the 10 days before your scheduled departure.

Please, no outside food or beverages allowed onboard. The bar will have festive, specialty cocktails, local beer & wine, plus non-alcoholic beverages. Snacks, bites, and chowder will also be available to purchase on board.

If you are part of a group that has booked under separate reservations, check your confirmation letters to ensure you are booked on the same date and time. You can also call to confirm that all parties are on the same boat.

Tickets to our Christmas Ship™ Festival are only sold through the Argosy Cruises website and are not sold on any other platform. Please do not purchase tickets from an anonymous account or resellers. Tickets are not transferable and are under the specific guest’s name.

We only cancel sailings if the mayor or governor declare a state of emergency due to weather or other causes.

Guests who cancel 72 hours or more in advance  of their departure date and time will be offered a 50% refund on the total amount paid for their booking (inclusive of taxes/fees). Cancellations less than 72 hours in advance will not be refunded. Future open credits will not be offered for any cancellations.

Group tickets does not apply to the Christmas Ship™ festival. When booking, a MAX of 10 tickets is allowed to be purchased. If you are looking for a holiday activity for your company, please reach out to our private charter department HERE .

Seattle Cruise Guide

Seattle is one of the biggest hubs for cruises sailing to Alaska. But before sailing off to one of the most scenic places on Earth, it’s worth staying a while in the iconic Emerald City.

The great thing about downtown Seattle is that all of the must-see attractions are within walking distance from one another. Start your day off by grabbing breakfast at one of the many Seattle-based coffee shops. Then take a stroll through Pike Place Market, home to the very first Starbucks ever opened, as well as a wide variety of fresh pastries, seafood, delicious bites, and artisan crafts. Chihuly Garden and Glass is a glasshouse exhibition featuring intricate glass designs that mimic a flower garden. End your day by taking an elevator up to the observation deck of the Space Needle, where you can observe 360-views of the city skyscrapers and the famous Mount Rainier. Before embarking on your cruise, be sure to stop by Ballard Avenue NW to pick up some designer branded goodies and souvenirs to take with you.

When you’re all done, make your way to one of the two cruise ship terminals, Bell Street Pier, or Smith Cove. Many popular cruise lines offer sailings from these terminals, including Carnival, Celebrity, Oceania, Princess, and more, so make your pick and have a relaxing time onboard.

Seattle’s Festive Holiday Season: A Joyous Lineup of Events for All Ages

An authentic German Christmas market, cheery light displays, and holiday boat parades are just the start  

SEATTLE – It’s set to be the coziest Christmas season yet in Seattle, with the thrilling launch of the Seattle Christmas Market – sister to the Vancouver Christmas Market that’s been running annually since 2010 – as well as the return of beloved favorites like WildLanterns at the Woodland Park Zoo and a caroling competition at Pike Place Market. Find the whole lineup of events on seattleholidays.com .

  MERRIEST MARKETS  

The inaugural Seattle Christmas Market is coming to Seattle Center for a month-long celebration, November 24 – December 24. More than 60 local Seattle vendors will make up the Christmas village and marketplace at the Fisher Pavilion and South Fountain Lawn, offering an authentic European experience, from traditional food and mulled wine to handcrafted goods and live entertainment. Visitors of all ages will be delighted by the 50-foot walk-through Christmas tree with over 50,000 twinkling lights, plus complimentary rides on the Christmas Carousel and entertainment within the ski-chalet-inspired Alpen Haus. Tickets go on sale in mid-October.   

  On November 18 – 19, the National Nordic Museum will host its 46th annual Julefest: A Nordic Christmas Celebration . This event transforms the Museum grounds into a modern spin on the traditional Nordic holiday market with over 30 local artists, delicious holiday treats, and Nordic cultural performances.   

Find unique, authentic gifts from local indigenous tribes at both the United Indians Native Art Market , December 15 – 17, as well as the Duwamish Longhouse & Cultural Center Native Art Market , taking place November 24 – 26. Support local indigenous artists while crossing off Christmas gift lists with clothing, jewelry, woodworking, drums, art prints, and more.  

The 28 th Annual Magic in the Market , Pike Place Market’s longest-running holiday tradition, returns Saturday, November 25 with Santa meet-and-greets, caroling, eggnog, and plenty of local goods for sale. Visitors won’t want to miss the famous Market lighting ceremony at 5:00 p.m.

JOLLY PERFORMANCES  

Rediscover Charles Dickens’ Yuletide classic “ A Christmas Carol ”, proudly returning for the 48th year at ACT Theatre beginning November 24

Another must-see holiday performance, George Balanchine’s “The Nutcracker” returns to McCaw Hall November 24 – December 27 to delight audiences once more, a sparkling classic for all ages

“The Nutcracker has become the most successful and beloved work in the history of ballet, and it has always been an entry point for many into this world,” said Peter Boal, Artistic Director of Pacific Northwest Ballet. “The care and commitment exhibited by our rehearsal directors, student and professional performers, and a massive team backstage, onstage, and in the orchestra pit, is part of a wondrous tradition of welcoming and introducing people of all ages and all cultures to the magic of ballet, classical music, and live performance.”  

  Catch another holiday classic on the stage with Irving Berlin’s White Christmas at the 5 th Ave Theatre, November 25 – December 27. This merry and bright musical is full of dancing, laughter, and yuletide songs, based on the 1954 film.   

  Enjoy a uniquely Seattle tradition at Pike Place Market, where The Great Figgy Pudding Caroling Competition hosts local caroling teams to raise money for the Pike Market Senior Center & Food Bank. The musical holiday fun takes place December 1, from 6 – 9 p.m.    

The holiday tradition of delightful music from Seattle Men’s Chorus is also back. Revel in the nostalgia, hilarity, a Christmas conga, and an unforgettable sing-along at three Puget Sound area locations December 2 – 23.  

  There’s no place like Benaroya Hall for the holidays! Join the Seattle Symphony for Holiday Pops , featuring conductor Stuart Chafetz and vocalist-trombonist Aubrey Logan. The dazzling program is full of holiday favorites, traditional carols, and plenty of yuletide cheer, with shows December 8 – 10.  

Another rich holiday performance not-to-be-missed is Black Nativity at INTIMAN Theatre, December 12 – 30. Langston Hughes’ Gospel Song-Play celebrates the Christmas story with actors, dancers, soaring vocalists, and a rousing city-wide gospel choir.

DAZZLING DISPLAYS  

Woodland Park Zoo’s larger-than-life festival WildLanterns returns November 10 – January 14. This interactive holiday experience is unlike any in the Pacific Northwest, featuring gorgeously lit animal lanterns from pandas in cherry trees to giant flowers and mythical creatures.  

“WildLanterns is a fully immersive and whimsical holiday experience that everyone can enjoy,” said Woodland Park Zoo President and CEO Alejandro Grajal. “If you’ve joined us in the past, you know the magic and can expect to see countless new lanterns this year.”   

Winter Brilliance also returns to Chihuly Garden and Glass this holiday season. The innovative light and music experience is back for its second year starting November 24 and running through February 29, 2024.

Seattle Center Winterfest returns November 24 – December 31 with sparkling lights, amusements and spirited entertainment, including live performances, a Winter Train & Village, and the annual campus lighting display. It all culminates with T-Mobile New Year’s At The Needle , where revelers can watch the largest structurally launched fireworks and light display in North America

Argosy Cruises Christmas Ship™ Festival is back starting November 24 – December 23, offering a classic Seattle holiday celebration that has been a Northwest tradition since 1949. Board a festive ship decorated with hundreds of shimmery white lights and sail to different Puget Sound waterfront communities – around 40 in all. A live choir and reading of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” will warm the soul, or adult guests can opt for the 21+ ugly sweater party aboard a following boat. Those who would rather enjoy shoreside can catch a 20-minute choir performance broadcast from the ship, or join the Parade of Boats Viewing Party December 8.  The glitter of ice may surprise sports fans this winter, at the 2024 Discover NHL Winter Classic on January 1. Taking place at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park, the Mariner’s home field will transform into an outdoor ice rink, where the Seattle Kraken and Las Vegas Golden Knights will battle it out, pitting the NHL’s two newest teams against one another. 

HOLIDAY HOTEL PACKAGES  

Hotel promotions and packages will be offered throughout the holiday season, with perks like complimentary bottles of wine, gift cards for holiday shopping, and spa credits.  

“W Seattle is the city’s leading luxury lifestyle hotel and the perfect escape for the holidays,” said Greg Campbell, Director of Sales and Marketing at W Seattle. “In collaboration with incredible local partners, such as Nordstrom, First Nature Tours, local liquor partners, and Picnic Party Seattle, we’re going all out this season to create incredible events for guests and the community to enjoy.”

JOURNEY TO "THE GREAT ONE"

In the center of the state,  Denali National Park  is blanketed in wildflowers punctuated with mountains, raging rivers and serene lakes. Denali, "The Great One," formerly known as Mt.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Alaska Cruises Insider

The sheer size of Alaska lends itself to a wide variety of terrain and travel experiences. This diversity means you need to be prepared for a lot of change while traveling.

The best time to travel to Alaska depends on your priorities. If you're interested in the Midnight Sun, the longest day of the year is June 21, when you can experience close to 20 or more hours of sunlight in some parts of the state. If you're more interested in the Alaska Northern Lights, the earlier sunset in later summer will allow more contrast and better views of this natural wonder.

No two days will be the same, and you'll need to pack your clothing to prepare for temperature changes throughout the day. Think layers: zip-up sweaters, boots, rain jackets.

Alaska is not a formal place; people even wear jeans to the opera. Focus more on comfort when deciding what clothing to pack.

Cameras, binoculars, rain ponchos and jackets are useful, but add these to the souvenirs you'll be picking up and soon your bag will be too heavy to tote around. Bring along a quality day pack to make it easier to hold your necessities.

Learn a few words in Alaska's local lingo: The "Alcan" is the Alaska-Canada Highway, for example, and "fish stories" are the local version of tall tales — unreliable yarns of mythological proportions, often told by fisherman.

ALASKAN CUISINE WILD IS THE WAY 

Alaskan food focuses on locally sourced ingredients that reflect the state's rugged terrain and the vast oceans surrounding it. These nutrient-rich waters serve up some gorgeous fish and shellfish, from super-fresh salmon to huge Alaskan King Crabs that can feed a crowd, while game meats and berries from the wilderness form a perfect marriage of flavor.

SALMON IS CENTRAL

Fresh-caught wild salmon is served up at backyard BBQs and the finest restaurants. For something different, try the sweet and savory treat Indian Candy, salmon that is sweetened and smoked till hard.

SOURDOUGH WON'T LET YOU GO

Sourdough is such an important part of Alaskan culture that long-time Alaskans are actually called sourdoughs in local parlance. Try a sourdough bread bowl filled with salmon chowder for a hearty lunch.

GO WILD FOR BERRIES

Alaskan wild berries are sweet and pack a powerful punch of flavor. Whether served up in jams, candies, pies or cobblers, Alaskan blueberries, high-bush cranberries and other local wild berries are a staple when it comes to Alaskan summer eats.

RELATED PORTS

Whether you're interested in hiking through a forest, trekking to glaciers or a shopping spree downtown, the towns along Alaska's inside passage provide a variety of adventurous activities. Alaska cruise ports such as Juneau and Ketchikan are small cities with their own personalities. Anchorage is the state's largest city and a gateway to the rest of the state.
