History of Argosy
For 58 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. Argosy Cruises and the owners of Metropolitan Grill and Elliott's Oyster House have partnered to bring you this experience on the water aboard the Royal Argosy.
