The Port of Seattle Commission has approved a new long-term lease amendment with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH), extending their partnership and reinforcing commitments to environmental progress, community benefits, and economic opportunities.
This agreement secures NCLH’s homeport presence in Seattle through 2035, with options to extend until 2045 contingent on continued decarbonization and sustainability performance. NCLH will continue to invest in Seattle’s cruise and maritime sector through infrastructure contributions, new environmental initiatives, and workforce and community partnerships.
Commissioner Sam Cho commented on the agreement, saying, “The Port of Seattle’s cruise sector is a particularly bright spot in our business lines, with growing passenger numbers, revenues, and benefit for the community.” He added, “Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings has been an outstanding partner to the Port of Seattle for more than a quarter of a century, and I am pleased to support this new agreement today.”
