Seattle cruise terminals and which lines use them
Seattle has two cruise terminals, about 3 miles apart. Smith Cove at Pier 91, in Interbay below Magnolia, has two berths and handles most lines. Bell Street at Pier 66, on the downtown waterfront, has one berth used by Norwegian and Oceania. Use the terminal address in your GPS, not just "Seattle cruise port".

Common questions
How far apart are Pier 91 and Pier 66?
About 2.5 to 3 miles, roughly 10 minutes by car. They aren't interchangeable, so check your boarding pass before you book a ride or parking.
Can I walk to Pier 91 from downtown Seattle?
No. Pier 91 is reached by road only, over the Magnolia Bridge ramp, and its bus stop has closed. Pier 66 is a short walk from Pike Place Market and the downtown waterfront hotels.
