Terminals & layout

Two terminals split the Alaska season: Bell Street Pier 66 downtown (a garage with a 6'6" cap) and Smith Cove Terminal 91 at the base of Magnolia — the port's parking pages route every tall vehicle to 91.

Official Pier 91 cruise parking publishes RV and overheight rates from about $47 per day, with weekly oversized rates posted by rig length — up to 30 feet and up to 40 feet tiers — and a free shuttle to the ship. Pier 66's downtown garage caps at 6'6".

The RV answer

Seattle is the rare port with a published rig-length menu: weekly oversized parking at Terminal 91 posted for rigs up to 30 and up to 40 feet, shuttle included. Sailing from Pier 66 downtown? The garage caps at 6'6" — park the rig at 91 and ride over.

The shoulder days

The cruise is the middle. The rig owns the edges.

Nobody boards an Alaska cruise from richer day-trip country. Rainier's wildflower meadows, the Olympics' rainforest coast and the North Cascades' fjord-lake highway all sit within a morning's drive of the piers — and Terminal 91 publishes honest oversized rates by rig length, shuttle to the gangway included. Sail north knowing the rig is waiting for the second half of the trip.

Before the ship

The mountain before the sea

Alaska boardings run mid-day — spend the day before in the island rain shadow, and save the volcano for a full day if you have one.

After the ship

Rainforest and fjord highway

Back from Alaska with sea legs and a rig on the pier — the Olympic loop or the North Cascades highway both start within two hours.
