1. ADA and Accessibility. Are your ships accessible?
   Our crew is trained to help guests navigate both our docks and our vessels and are prepared to assist. Certain vessels in the fleet have more mobility limitations, so recommend calling ahead for specific concerns at 206.623.1445.

2. Animals/Pets. Are dogs or pets allowed on your boats?
   Due to our various food preparation permits, we are unable to invite pets onboard with the exception of service animals. If you bring a service animal you may be asked the following questions:

   Is the animal required because of a disability? 
   This is a yes or no question. You are not required to, nor can you be asked to, disclose the nature or details of the disability. If the animal is not required because of a disability, then it will not be permitted.
   What is the nature of the work or task(s) that the animal is trained to perform? 
   This question will not be asked if the nature of the work or task is readily apparent, such as a Seeing Eye dog. If the animal is not trained to perform specific work or tasks to assist the individual because of a disability, then it will not be permitted. 

   You cannot and will not be required to provide any sort of certification or documentation proving that the animal is a service or assistance animal. Nor will you be required to pay a fee to bring the animal onto an Argosy Cruises vessel. The service or assistance animal must be housetrained and must be kept under control at all times while on board an Argosy Cruises Vessel. Argosy may ask that a service or assistance animal be removed from the property if it is not housetrained, if it is acting out of control and no effective action is being taken to control it, or if it poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others. The threat of an allergic reaction is not a direct threat to the health or safety of others.

3. Attire. What is the dress code?
   Our docks and vessels do move around on the water, so we recommend our guests wear low or no heels when joining us. We also recommend having a coat or light jacket should you want to stroll the outer decks of our vessels. If you are attending a private event through an individual or company, we recommend you check with your host as to the appropriate attire for your function.
4. Bikes. Can I bring my bicycle on board?
   Due to space/weight restrictions and the safety of our passengers, bicycles are not allowed on board any public sightseeing cruises.*
5. Boarding
   We begin boarding 20-30 minutes prior to the “cruise time.” The boarding gate closes 5 minutes prior to “cruise time.” Certain special events may board earlier.
6. Cancellations. What is your cancellation policy?
   Harbor Cruise tickets purchased through the Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass are non-refundable.
7. Children. Can children cruise?
   Children of all ages are welcome on all of our public tours.
8. Cruise Route. Where do you cruise?
   The Harbor Cruise loops around Elliot Bay.
9. Directions. How do I get to my boat?
   Our Parking & Directions page has addresses and Google Map links for our main docking points as well as many other locations across Puget Sound and the lakes. We leave from many different ports depending on the cruise. Please feel free to call if you need clarification.
10. Food and Drink. Can I bring outside food and drink onboard?
    There is no outside food or beverages allowed onboard. There are snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase.

13. Reservations. How can I make reservations for a cruise?
    You may exchange your Space Needle + Argosy Harbor Cruise ticket in person. You can find us at 1101 Alaskan Way Pier 55 on the Seattle Central Waterfront.
    **Tickets can be redeemed up to 10 minutes prior to “cruise time.”
14. Restrooms. Are there any?
    Yes! All of our vessels are equipped with onboard restroom facilities.
15. Seasickness. Will I get seasick?
    It is highly unlikely. Our boats sail in the calm waters of the inner harbor of Elliott Bay as well as the protected waters of Lake Union and Lake Washington. We do not go out into open ocean water. Weather conditions and the wakes of large vessels can move our boats about, something which our captains are prepared to accommodate for during sailings.
16. Seating. Is seating reserved?
    For sightseeing cruises, all indoor and outdoor seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
17. Smoking. What is your smoking policy?
    Per Washington State law, all of our vessels are non-smoking and non-vaping, including on the outer decks.
18. Terms of Conveyance. What terms do I agree to when I am on an Argosy Vessel?
    All travel on any Argosy LP vessel is subject to the Terms of Conveyance, binding upon you as a passenger, expressly including limitations upon claims that may be brought relating to the conveyance, such as any claim of injury. By seeking and accepting passage, you agree to be bound by the Terms of Conveyance. Click here to read the Terms of Conveyance (487 KB PDF).
19. Weapons Policy
    For the safety of all guests, weapons (concealed or otherwise) are not permitted on Argosy Cruises’ property, including our reservation center, boats, and in and around the Tillicum Longhouse on Blake Island. The only exception to this is law enforcement personnel in the performance of their official duties.  The presenter of a boarding pass consents to a reasonable search for weapons before entering.  If you are unable to comply with these conditions, then we will not allow you access to Argosy property. This is in adherence to Washington State law (RCW 9.41.300)(d).
20. Weather. Do you sail in inclement weather?
    Absolutely. Our ships are fully enclosed and climate-controlled for your comfort. We sail rain or shine all year long. Captains may adjust routes to best manage conditions during sailing.
