The Seward Company has announced plans to construct a new cruise terminal and pier at the Port of Seward in Alaska, in collaboration with the Royal Caribbean Group and Turnagain Marine.
Construction of the state-of-the-art facility, designed to accommodate the largest cruise ships in the region, is set to commence immediately with an expected completion date by Spring 2026.
The new pier will replace the outdated Alaska Railroad cruise port facility, enhancing operational and safety standards for the cruise industry.
The centrepiece of the project is a floating double berth pier measuring 100 feet wide and 748 feet long, featuring a portable shore-power system, dual ship docking capabilities, and a 200-foot split transfer span for efficient embarkation and disembarkation. The facility will also include a 41,500-square-foot cruise terminal that can be repurposed for community events during winter months, ensuring year-round functionality and long-term economic benefits for the Seward community and the state of Alaska.
