Cruises from Seattle: every ship sailing in 2027
Sixteen ships sail from Seattle on a weekly schedule in 2027, from Carnival Spirit's first sailing on April 14 to Norwegian Encore's last on October 10. Nearly all are 7-night Alaska round trips calling at Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway or Sitka, with a glacier day at Glacier Bay, Endicott Arm or Tracy Arm and a stop in Victoria.
Saturday and Sunday are the busiest sailing days, with three ships on most weekends from May to mid-September. The dates here come from the port's preliminary 2027 schedule, last revised in October 2026, and the cruise lines' own deployment announcements.

Common questions
Which cruise lines sail from Seattle?
Norwegian, Holland America, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Carnival, MSC, Virgin Voyages and Oceania all have ships based in Seattle in 2027.
Why do Alaska cruises from Seattle stop in Victoria?
A U.S. law, the Passenger Vessel Services Act, bars foreign-flagged ships from carrying passengers between two U.S. ports. Round trips from Seattle on these ships must call at a foreign port, and Victoria, British Columbia, is the one on the way.
Are there cruises from Seattle outside the Alaska season?
Only a handful of one-off sailings at either end of the season, such as Hawaii round trips and repositioning voyages to Asia, Australia or through the Panama Canal. From mid-October to mid-April no ships sail from Seattle.
