Cruise port webcams, and what each one can actually see
The short answer
8 of the 11 ports we cover have a camera worth watching — 10 cruise cameras between them. Someone at home can use them to watch your ship sail.
The other 3 have none, and we say why rather than leaving you to hunt: one closed in 2024, one now 404s, and one runs a camera whose operator will not say where it points.

Ports with no camera, and why
These are the searches that waste the most time, because the results still rank pages for cameras that stopped broadcasting. Here is what we found when we checked.
Port of Seattlechecked 2026-08-11
The one camera that watched Elliott Bay, seattlewaterfrontwebcam.com, says on its own front page that it shut down in November 2024 after fifteen years. The Port of Seattle publishes none, and what the visitor sites still call “waterfront webcams” are TEGNA and KOMO weather stills plus Seattle DOT traffic cameras.
Port of Seattle port guide →Port of New Orleanschecked 2026-08-11
The port’s own camera is gone: portno.com/cruise-webcam now 404s, and neither portnola.com nor its cruise section links a replacement.
Port of New Orleans port guide →Port of Baltimorechecked 2026-08-11
StreamTime LIVE runs a real 4K camera on the Baltimore shipping channel, but it publishes no mounting location and claims no cruise coverage, so we cannot tell you whether your ship crosses it. A camera we cannot describe is not a camera we can recommend.

Every camera here was opened and watched on the date its page lists. A link that 404s, redirects to a parked domain, or is announced but not yet broadcasting is not a camera, however well it would have ranked. We link the operator’s own page rather than embedding the stream, because none of these operators publishes an embed offer and a stale video id is a broken player on a page people come back to.
