The Ice Cream Cruise gets underway May 3, 2026 from our new home at Fishermen’s Terminal.
Seattle’s sweetest trip. Climb aboard the Fremont Avenue at Fishermen’s Terminal for the Ice Cream Cruise. We set out on a 45-minute trip along the Lake Washington Ship Canal to Lake Union, for a narrated tour of this unique and vibrant waterway.

Eat ice cream, enjoy the views and learn about Seattle’s history and:
- The engineering marvel that is the Lake Washington Ship Canal
- Tugboat Alley and the home of the North Pacific Fishing Fleet
- Fremont’s transformation from mill-town to tech-town
- The busiest drawbridge in the world
- The birthplace of the Boeing Company
- Turning an old gas plant into one of Seattle’s favorite parks
- The unique lifestyle in Seattle’s floating home communities
Join us on our tour of Seattle through the back door and also enjoy those wonderful views of the skyline from Lake Union. Informal, fun and family friendly friendly. Ice cream is optional, but highly encouraged!
And we are famously dog-friendly, so bring Rover along! (Rover does not count under our passenger limit, so rides for free)
Departing from Dock 9 at Fishermen’s Terminal where there is always plenty of free parking, and lots of things to do before and after the Ice Cream Cruise. Click here for directions.
Schedule
Running through September 27, we will have regular sailings at 11:00 am, noon, 2:00 pm, 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm. In peak times we add sailings at 1:00 and 5:00. The booking calendar will show all available sailings for each Sunday.
Our Coast Guard certificate limits us to 42 passengers, including small children. Because our Coast Guard certificate limits us to 20 passengers on the upper deck, we sell upper deck and lower deck tickets.
We begin boarding 10 minutes before sailing time, and we always leave on time. Please plan to be at the dock 15 minutes before your scheduled departure. Be sure to allow plenty of time to park and walk to Dock 9. Click here for information on accessibility.
2026 Fares
| Age 13 & over | Age 0 to 12 | |

| Lower Deck | $20.00 | $16.00 |
All fares include booking fees and are subject to Washington State sales tax.
Ice Cream and other Goodies
Ice cream and other concession items are not included in the fares. We have found that our guests prefer that we keep ticket prices down and offer the flexibility to indulge as much or as little as you’d like in the goodies. You can prepay for concession items when you buy your tickets online (you will receive scrip when you check in), buy scrip when you board, or just pay at the counter.
Book Your Tickets
To book below, first select the number of tickets you want to buy, and then the calendar will show you dates when tickets are available on the upper and lower decks. If a specific time for upper or lower deck does not show up on your date, that means there are fewer tickets available for that sailing than the number you selected. The platform uses a 24-hour clock, so pretend you are in the Navy!
Once you have chosen your date and time and headed to checkout you will be able to prepay for ice cream and other concessions. That will save you time once you are on board (and kids can go to the concession without cash or cards!)
