Cruise Elliott Bay at golden hour for skyline views, a relaxed ride, and sunset over Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.

About this tour

See Seattle shift into evening from the water on a 90-minute sunset cruise through Elliott Bay and Puget Sound. Departing from Pier 55, this relaxed voyage offers a fresh perspective on the city’s skyline and working waterfront as the light turns golden.

Cruise past Alki Point and take in views toward the Olympic Mountains, with minimal narration that leaves room to enjoy the scenery. Choose indoor or outdoor seating, and visit the onboard bar for cocktails, local wine and beer, nonalcoholic drinks, or snacks available for purchase. Summer departures are timed for golden hour and sunset, making this an easygoing way to share the evening with friends or enjoy a memorable date on the water.

Arrive 30 minutes before departure; the boat leaves promptly at its scheduled time. Settle in, watch the city lights emerge, and experience the Seattle Sunset Cruise from a vantage point you can only get on the bay.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.27 from 30 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Seattle
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.9.
