Norwegian Cruise Line Donates Land for New Pier in Alaska

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings has donated 2.9 waterfront acres to develop a new pier in Juneau, in conjunction with local involvement.

Juneau will be getting a new pier designed and developed by the Huna Totem Corporation, thanks to the generous donation of a land parcel from Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.

The waterfront property donation, announced August 23, 2022, will be used to create a new pier and year-round facility to bring significant benefit to the local community.

The 2.9 acres of waterfront land, which Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings acquired for $20 million (USD) in a land auction in 2019, is now designated for a pier and adjacent facilities, purpose-built to engage the community and promote tourism in downtown Juneau.

Donating the land to the Huna Totem Corporation, with which Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings already has a successful relationship within the development of Icy Strait Point, 40 miles southwest of Juneau, will ensure local involvement in every stage of the pier’s design, construction, and operation.

The company originally won the competitive bid for the last waterfront parcel in Juneau, Alaska for $20 million in 2019. Since then, the Company has been engaging local stakeholders, including government, business, and community leaders to develop a plan which will benefit both the city and its various stakeholders.
