Cruise Port Transfers · Portland
Portland is a river-cruise city rather than an ocean-cruise port. Small ships on the Columbia and Snake Rivers board at a dock on the downtown waterfront by Tom McCall Waterfront Park. Larger ocean liners, including Alaska sailings, depart from Seattle, about three hours north on I-5. We cover both, with a fixed all-inclusive price and a chauffeur following your timetable.
Business district
Our chauffeurs work daily around downtown Portland and the Lloyd District, with regular runs to the Oregon Convention Center, Powell's City of Books, the Willamette waterfront.
Columbia and Snake River cruises board at the downtown waterfront dock; Willamette Valley tasting days are better booked hourly than as fixed transfers.
Corporate travel in PortlandRiver cruises of the Columbia and Snake rivers load from the waterfront beside Tom McCall Waterfront Park, on the west bank of the Willamette. Streets in the area are narrow, and event days such as festivals and Saturday markets close sections of the park. The chauffeur confirms the correct embarkation point with you and uses the closest permitted set-down, with your luggage handled to the gangway.
Many river cruise passengers fly into PDX the day before. The chauffeur meets you at baggage claim and drives to a hotel or direct to the ship if boarding is open. The trip from PDX to the waterfront takes around 25 minutes. If your flight lands late, the schedule moves with it, and an arrival after boarding closes is reorganized with the cruise line rather than guessed at.
Passengers on Alaska itineraries leave from Seattle's piers, around three hours north of Portland on I-5, passing Vancouver, Olympia and Tacoma. Turnaround day brings traffic to the Seattle waterfront, and the road through Tacoma is a common slowdown. The chauffeur sets a departure time that leaves margin and confirms the pier with you in advance, as Seattle sailings use more than one terminal.
Disembarkation takes a while, between customs, luggage and the crowd on the pier. We follow the vessel's schedule, and the chauffeur is waiting when you are ready. From the Portland dock you can go to PDX, to a hotel or on to the Willamette Valley. From Seattle you can return to Portland or continue to Sea-Tac. The fixed price is the same whichever way the timetable shifts.
Many river-cruise passengers arrive a day early, since embarkation falls in the afternoon and a delayed flight can cost the sailing. A hotel in the Pearl or on the waterfront puts you within a few minutes of the dock. We can book the arrival from PDX and the short hop to the ship as a single plan, so the luggage is handled once and the schedule is unambiguous.
