Seattle’s sweetest trip. Climb aboard the Fremont Avenue at Fisherman’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:

  • 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 new route where you will see Seattle through the back door and also enjoy those wonderful views of the skyline from Lake Union.

Informal, fun, family friendly and dog friendly. Ice cream is optional, but highly encouraged!

Departing from Dock 9 at Fisherman’s Terminal where there is always plenty of free parking, and lots of things to do before and after the Ice Cream Cruise.
