History of Argosy
For over 60 years, Argosy Cruises has been celebrating the breathtaking beauty of the Pacific Northwest as a Seattle attraction. Founded as the Spring Street Water Taxi and then through the years operating as Seattle Harbor Tours and now as Argosy Cruises, the family-owned and Seattle-operated company has become the Northwest's premier cruise company operating from the historic downtown Seattle waterfront, South Lake Union and Kirkland City Dock.
Currently, Argosy operates a variety of vessels providing private and public cruises around the Puget Sound area. Argosy Cruises offers must-see tourist attractions, such as the Lakes, Locks and Harbor Cruises and hosts countless weddings, trips to Tillicum Village, corporate events and community activities, including the Christmas Ship™ Festival, Pacific Marine Research trips, and Camp Goodtimes.
In addition to private and public cruises, Argosy Cruises offers a unique experience featuring breathtaking views and exquisite cuisine on a brunch, lunch or dinner cruise on Elliott Bay.
