Royal Caribbean has announced a change in the debarkation port for its Ovation of the Seas Alaska cruises. Instead of disembarking passengers at Seward, Alaska, the ship will now use the port of Whittier for this purpose.
This adjustment comes as a result of ongoing construction delays at the cruise terminal in Seward, which have affected the availability of the port for scheduled cruise operations.
The new debarkation arrangement is expected to apply for the 2026 Alaska cruise season. Travelers who plan to sail on Ovation of the Seas cruises during this period should take into account that arrival and
departure logistics will now involve Whittier port rather than Seward.
