The cruise was fantastic! Our host was so knowledgeable and friendly and so was the rest of the staff! We lucked out with an absolutely beautiful day which made the experience unforgettable!

We were lucky with the weather, but this is a must do in Seattle. It was a little chilly, but they have an indoor area with the same views, a bar and snacks for sale. Definitely a great way to see the city from the water. Would do again next time..

Nice experience. Very informative. Only downside was a group of teenagers talking throughout the deck hand speaking, so it was a little hard to hear.

Dress warm. It is relaxing and informative. You might be able to get on an earlier tour if you check with the ticket booth.

The panoramic view of Seattle was very enjoyable. Seeing the actual working of the huge cranes in the industrial section of the tour was amazing. The weather on this particular was beautiful!

Considering it was November with rain and fog, the guide did a good job of explaining the shore line. Most informative for us was the information about the shipping industry.

Excellent tour. Crew of the ship were very knowledgeable and very friendly. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Great way to spend an hour getting to know a little more about the Seattle waterfront. Our tour guide Nate was super knowledgeable, funny and engaging and made the whole experience fun and interesting. Would definitely recommend this on your next visit to Seattle!

We booked the 2:45 tour. I would suggest you get it line 1 hour before so you can get a starboard seat. This will be the side where everything you want to see is. Dress accordingly as it can get cold & windy on the top deck. There are inside seats and it is cozy, but top deck is best view. You can walk around and take pictures. There is food & drink and restrooms. The tour guide will give you lots of history. It’s a lot packed into an hour.
