Royal Caribbean has announced a shift in its Alaska cruise operations for the 2026 season, moving the debarkation port for Ovation of the Seas from Seward to Whittier. This change comes as a response to ongoing construction and congestion issues at the Seward Alaska cruise terminal that have caused delays.

Passengers planning to disembark at Seward for their Alaska cruise aboard Ovation of the Seas will now need to adjust their arrangements due to the new Whittier debarkation point. This alteration could impact onward travel logistics, requiring travelers to reconsider connections and transportation plans following their cruise.
