SEA AIRPORT ↔ SMITH COVE PIER 91
SEA Airport to Pier 91 Cruise Transfer
Reserved private transportation to Smith Cove — sample one-way fare $125 per vehicle.
Pier 91 is a different Seattle cruise day.
Smith Cove Cruise Terminal at Pier 91 sits away from the downtown hotel core, between Queen Anne, Magnolia and the waterfront. That makes advance transportation especially useful when you are traveling with cruise luggage. GateRide provides direct service from SEA Airport, or pickup from Seattle Center and Queen Anne hotels before embarkation.
Important: Pier 91 is not the same terminal as downtown Pier 66. Put “Pier 91 / Smith Cove” in your trip details so the route is planned for the correct cruise terminal.

ROUTE GUIDE
Pier 91 / Smith Cove: use the right terminal.
Pier 91 is the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal at 2001 W Garfield Way, Seattle, WA 98119. It is north of the downtown waterfront, between Queen Anne and Magnolia, and it is a different terminal from Pier 66. The Port of Seattle currently lists Carnival, Celebrity, Cunard, Holland America, MSC, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Virgin Voyages among the cruise lines using Pier 91.
The Port of Seattle describes Pier 91 as a 30–40 minute direct ride to or from SEA Airport. Treat that as a planning estimate rather than a guaranteed drive time because I-5, Mercer Street, Elliott Avenue, construction and cruise-day loading can change the trip. The Port also notes a ground-transportation lot near the terminal entrance for private vehicle drop-off and pickup. See the Port of Seattle’s Pier 91 information.
For a direct SEA → Pier 91 transfer, include your airline, flight number, ship, passenger count and luggage count. For a pre-cruise stay around Seattle Center or Queen Anne, use the hotel as the destination for the airport ride and reserve the Pier 91 transfer for embarkation day. This keeps each pickup tied to the correct schedule and location.
The displayed $125 SEA Airport ↔ Pier 91 fare is a sample one-way fare per vehicle. Added stops, extended waiting and special requests can affect the final quote. Gratuity is not included.
