The Port of Seattle is expanding its international connections and local investments, announcing a new long-term cruise lease, additional European flight services, and preparations for a summer of soccer. A special kickoff celebration was held at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) as Port staff, tenants, and partners gear up for the upcoming games.
The Port approved a new long-term lease amendment with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH), extending a partnership that began in 2000. This agreement strengthens shared commitments to environmental progress, community benefit, and economic opportunity.
SEA Airport also welcomed two new Alaska Airlines European services to London and Reykjavík, pushing nonstop international options to over 60. Furthermore, the Port will award funding to 35 projects across King County and Washington state through its 2026-27 Tourism Marketing Support Program.
