★★★★★
The private table made it feel like a proper restaurant rather than a coach trip with food. Three courses, unhurried, and the lakes going past the window the whole time.

Traveler Reviews
What travelers tell us after taking the Seattle Dinner Cruise.
★★★★☆
Book the entrée you actually want when you book the ticket — the choice is locked in a couple of days ahead. Once that's sorted it's a genuinely relaxed two and a half hours.
★★★★★
We were a group of twelve and got the group rate. Fisherman's Terminal parking was straightforward, boarding at Dock 9 was quick, and the crew handled a mixed table of dietary requirements without any fuss.
