Argosy does an excellent job with their cruises. The commentary is lively, interesting and informative. The ships are clean and offer both inside and outside viewing areas. The Locks Cruise offers great views of the city, the Olympic mountains as well as the trip through the locks themselves.

My two oldest sons who live in Los Angeles and Kansas City were here for Christmas. We've previously been on the brunch cruises with other guests and really enjoyed them but they aren't available between Christmas and New Years. We tried the Locks cruise instead. The cruise began at Pier 55 and ended in Home Port in Lake Union. A motor coach took us back to Pier 55. The driver even narrated interesting facts about Seattle and the Space Needle on the way back. We all really enjoyed the cruise. The views of downtown, the waterfront and port from Elliott Bay are really great. The tour narration on the boat was excellent and even though it was cold we all really enjoyed the cruise and found it very interesting and entertaining. They sold snacks and drinks (both alcoholic and non) on the cruise and snap a souvenir picture before the cruise that is available for purchase at the end. We had a late lunch at Ivar’s after the cruise and it was a very memorable afternoon. My only regret was that my youngest son (who lives with us) had to miss the cruise because he had to work. We'll take him with us when we take my husband's mom and grandmother later this year.

Very good guide, very interesting cruise and gorgeous point of views of Seattle!!

The cruise was a great way to spend a rainy day in Seattle. With the commentary it put a whole new dimension to seeing the skyline.
