ROYAL CARIBBEAN GROUP AND ALASKA RAILROAD COMPANY CELEBRATE OFFICIAL OPENING OF CRUISE TERMINAL IN SEWARD, ALASKA

Royal Caribbean Group opened the Dale R. & Carol Ann Lindsey Alaska Railroad Terminal in Seward on June 10, 2026, replacing mid-1960s facilities to establish Seward as a premier cruise turn port.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony featured partners Alaska Railroad, The Seward Company, Turnagain Marine Construction, Alaska dignitaries, Seward Mayor Sue McClure, \& state officials.
This 41,500-square-foot enclosed facility with 27,000 square feet of open luggage transfer space is the largest cruise terminal in Alaska, designed for optimized passenger flow \& direct rail access to Anchorage, Fairbanks, \& other communities.
A shore power system funded by an EPA Clean Ports Grant enables cleaner air, reduced noise, \& battery storage for excess winter power to serve as a backup grid for Seward.
The terminal supports year-round operations as the community's largest indoor space, hosting sports, concerts, festivals, \& gatherings during the off-season.
The grand opening included the culmination of the Port Partners small business accelerator program, awarding a $20,000 grant to Exit Glacier Greenhouses to scale operations.
