Lower berths are beds sold at two per cabin, a measure of capacity; passengers on board usually run a little higher. Ships without a published capacity count as calls and add no berths. For capacity by port and month as a report, see Port Day, monthly cruise demand by port.

Which cruise ships call at Seattle next?

The next cruise ship calls at Seattle begin on 3 October 2026. Each row is one ship on one day, with arrival and departure times where the cruise line publishes them. An "est." mark flags a day placed by sailing distance rather than taken from the line's own itinerary, so treat it as a likely date.

How exact is the Seattle cruise schedule?

Of the 334 cruise ship calls at Seattle from October 2026 to September 2027, 100% fall on dates the cruise line publishes and 0% are estimated. Embarkation and disembarkation days are always exact. Estimated calls are placed by distance between ports and can be a day out.
