About Pier 91
Welcome to Pier 91, the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal at Seattle’s waterfront. Opened in April 2009, this expansive cruise terminal spans 143,000 square feet across two berths, each extending 1,200 linear feet, with a two-story building designed to handle a steady stream of ships from Carnival, Celebrity, Cunard, Holland America, Princess, Royal Caribbean, and Virgin Voyages. Whether you’re a guest boarding a cruise or simply visiting the piers, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you plan your day.
At Gold Coast Tickets, we prioritize a straightforward, no-fuss buying experience. Here, you’ll find essential information about Pier 91, including parking, transportation, seating/comfort areas, and nearby hotels and restaurants to make your port-day or pre/post-cruise plans easier. Consider us your go-to connection for reliable, friendly guidance in the Seattle cruise port area.
Note: Pier 91 is a cruise terminal with waiting areas and lounges rather than a performance venue with a public seating chart. If you’re heading to a ship, plan for multi-mode access and allow extra time for security and boarding procedures.
Seating and comfort areas: Pier 91 does not publish a traditional seating chart for events, as it functions as a cruise terminal. Passenger lounges and waiting areas are available inside the terminal for boarding and arrival. For guests, we recommend arriving early and using the terminal lounges as a comfortable place to wait before your ship boards. If you’re planning a day around a port call, we can help you map out quick access points and lounge locations within the terminal.
Parking: There is an on-site surface parking lot with 800 secure spaces. A complimentary shuttle operates to the terminal, helping you move between the parking area and Pier 91 quickly and safely.
Transit and access: Pier 91 does not have direct public transit service. Access is typically via rideshare, taxi, or cruise-line shuttles. For travelers coming from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport or downtown Seattle, you can use the LINK Light Rail to downtown, then rideshare or taxis to Pier 91, and finally the cruise-line shuttles if your cruise line offers one.
Nearby hotels and dining: We’ve highlighted a few convenient hotel options within a short drive of Pier 91, along with recommended dining partners to consider before or after your port day. Room options and proximity can vary; always confirm current availability when planning a trip. We’ve included trusted affiliate partners to help you secure hotel stays and dining reservations with ease.
Nearby hotels: Kimpton Palladian Hotel (~3.2 miles), Hotel Theodore (~3.5 miles), Hotel Vintage Seattle (~3.7 miles). Nearby dining options and affiliate partner recommendations can help you find a reliable pre-cruise meal or post-embarkation unwind. If you’d like, we can connect you with hotel and dining partners to fit your schedule and budget.
