About Us

 Argosy Cruises, a family-owned and locally-operated Seattle company for 60 years, is the Northwest’s premier cruise company, celebrating the breathtaking beauty of the Pacific Northwest.  Founded as the Spring Street Water Taxi and then through the years operating as Seattle Harbor Tours and now as Argosy Cruises, it has become the Northwest’s premier cruise company operating from the historic downtown Seattle waterfront, South Lake Union and Kirkland City Dock.

Argosy Cruises currently operates eleven vessels providing private and public cruises around the Puget Sound area.  Argosy Cruises offers must-see tourist attractions, such as the Lakes, Locks and Harbor Cruises and hosts countless weddings, parties, corporate events and community activities, including the Christmas Ship™ Festival, Jazz Brunch Cruise Series, Murder Mystery Series and themed and holiday events.  Argosy Cruises also has regularly scheduled trips to Blake Island’s Tillicum Village. Visitors can enjoy a memorable and dynamic journey that includes an award a narrated Argosy cruise, winning salmon dinner cooked in traditional Pacific Northwest Coast Indian style and a dazzling stage show Dance on the Wind. 

In addition to sightseeing, Argosy operates its largest ship, the Royal Argosy, which currently hosts brunch, dinner, lunch, themed and private cruises.   Unlike any other ship in the United States, the Royal Argosy utilizes gas ranges with open flame to create freshly prepared gourmet meals.  Cruises focus on the Pacific Northwest through a combination of distinctive regional cuisine, ever-changing views and elegant décor. Raised central seating so all guests will enjoy sweeping views of Seattle’s breathtaking skyline and scenery.
