SEA Airport / cruise-terminal handoff

taxi from seattle airport to cruise terminal

Request an airport-to-cruise-terminal transfer only after the ship's pier is confirmed. Metro Elite connects the SEA passenger-ready time to the correct Pier 66 or Pier 91 passenger handoff and confirms the itinerary, vehicle, and fare before booking.

Route and fare planning

What should you confirm about the cruise terminal before planning pickup?

The passenger handoff depends on the correct pier, its ground-transportation area, when the party will be ready after landing, and when the cruise line requires arrival.

  • The ship determines the terminal
  • The terminal needs a usable arrival window
  • Airport pickup follows baggage readiness
  • The reservation identifies the handoff
  1. Pickup

    Confirm the SEA pickup method

    Send the arriving flight, baggage profile, travellers, mobility needs, and reachable mobile contact.

  2. On the way

    Review the road window against the cruise deadline

    Dispatch accounts for airport access, the selected pier, Seattle traffic, construction, events, requested stops, and terminal activity.

  3. Arrival

    Use the correct passenger drop-off area

    The chauffeur follows the confirmed Pier 66 or Pier 91 ground-transportation instructions; the traveller handles cruise check-in and boarding.
