Things to know before booking your ... tickets

Booking window
Advance purchase required: Day-trip tickets may sell out quickly during peak periods. Booking 2–3 weeks ahead avoids long standby lines and same‑day release delays.

What’s included
Standard access: Your ticket covers reserved seating and basic entry. Premium add‑ons such as priority boarding, guided transfers, or extra amenities must be booked separately.

Entrances & flow
Streamlined entry: Tickets are validated at designated terminals. Expect mandatory security checks and ID verification before boarding, with standard waiting times even if you purchase in advance.

Ways to explore
Flexible options: The standard ticket offers a basic day‑trip experience. Upgrading can reduce crowd delays and shorten boarding queues; see Recommended experience for options that ease lines.

Policies & rules
Non‑refundability: Tickets are single entry and non-refundable. Ensure you have the proper travel documents and review all guidelines prior to booking to prevent check‑in issues.

Tips & guidelines

  • Dress in layers and pack a lightweight waterproof jacket. Even during summer, cool winds over Puget Sound can make deck areas chilly.
  • Bring your passport and printed ticket confirmations. Cross-border immigration lines at Seattle and Victoria can be busy, so prepare well ahead of time.
  • Pack a small day bag with essential items such as a refillable water bottle, snacks, and motion sickness medication, especially since winter seas can be rough.
  • Arrive early at Pier 69 in Seattle to allow extra time for check-in and security checks, as peak summer sailings often have longer lines.
