The Dale R. and Carol Ann Lindsey Alaska Railroad Terminal is a state-of-the-art facility that provides a seamless gateway to Alaska for guests around the world

SEWARD, Alaska, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Caribbean Group (NYSE: RCL), a global vacation leader, recently commemorated the opening of the Dale R. and Carol Ann Lindsey Alaska Railroad Terminal with partners Alaska Railroad, The Seward Company, Turnagain Marine Construction at an official ribbon cutting ceremony including Alaska dignitaries Representative Louise Stutes of Kodiak and Seward, 5th District; Representative Alyse Galvin of Anchorage, 14th District; Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development Commissioner Julie Sande; and Seward Mayor Sue McClure.

"We're thrilled to celebrate the culmination of nearly a decade of efforts to unlock this world-class travel destination, bringing long-term economic opportunities to Seward and beyond," said Josh Carroll, senior vice president, Deployment, Destination Development and Port Operations. "The journey to open the Dale R. and Carol Ann Lindsey Alaska Railroad Terminal as a portal to premier travel destinations would not have been possible without our supporting partners, government official stakeholders, and the local community."

The new terminal replaces aging dock facilities that date to the mid-1960s, positioning Seward as a premier cruise turn port. 

"We know how important the terminal is not just to Seward, but to communities across Southcentral and Interior Alaska as these cross-gulf cruise guests take the opportunity to explore Alaska by land as well," said Bill O'Leary, President and CEO of the Alaska Railroad, the longtime owner and operator of the Seward passenger dock and terminal. "We were delighted to have the Lindsey family join us for the ribbon cutting to honor Dale and Carol Ann's many contributions to Seward and our state, and to celebrate an important milestone for this project." 

As the largest cruise terminal in Alaska, this state‑of‑the‑art facility is designed to elevate guest experiences by prioritizing optimized passenger flows, sheltered queuing, and efficient passenger processing. The facility's direct adjacency to the Alaska Railroad station opens convenient onward travel to Anchorage, Fairbanks, and the broader communities of Alaska. The terminal is divided into 41,500 square feet of enclosed space and 27,000 square feet of open, pass-through luggage transfer layout.

The modernization of the pier includes a shore power system, developed through the US Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Ports Grant, resulting in cleaner air and reduced noise. With this alternative energy capability, any excess power generated during winter months will be stored in battery systems, serving as a backup power grid for Seward during unpredictable winter weather.

Built for year-round operations, the terminal serves as the community's largest indoor space, enabling ongoing recreational sports, concerts, festivals, and community gatherings, amidst winter weather conditions in the cruise off-season. The space was inaugurated for that exact purpose when Royal Caribbean Group invited the entire Seward community to help celebrate the culmination of their Port Partners small business accelerator program where standout business Exit Glacier Greenhouses received a $20,000 grant to help scale operations, representing the company's longstanding commitment to economic development in coastal communities.

Der Genfer Bankensoftware-Anbieter Temenos übernimmt das Zürcher Fintech Additiv und stärkt damit sein Geschäft mit Lösungen für die digitale Vermögensverwaltung. Additiv entwickelt eine Plattform, die Prozesse, Daten und Anwendungen bei Banken, Vermögensverwaltern und Versicherungen in einer zentralen Orchestrierungsschicht bündelt. Institute nutzen die Technologie, um digitale Kundenprozesse über verschiedene Kanäle hinweg aufzubauen und zu steuern. Nach Abschluss der Transaktion wird Additiv unter seinem eigenen Namen als Teil der Temenos-Gruppe weitergeführt.

Temenos zielt mit der Akquisition insbesondere auf den Ausbau seines Angebots im Wealth Management. Im Fokus stehen hybride Vermögensverwaltungsmodelle für vermögende Privatkunden sowie zusätzliche Funktionen für das sogenannte Mass-Affluent-Segment, also Kundinnen und Kunden unterhalb des klassischen Private Banking. Die Additiv-Plattform soll künftig die bestehenden Front-End- und Beratungsangebote von Temenos ergänzen und Finanzinstituten helfen, neue Anlage- und Beratungsservices schneller auf den Markt zu bringen. Laut Temenos-CEO Takis Spiliopoulos stärkt der Zukauf das Wealth-Angebot in einem Markt mit stark wachsender Nachfrage.

Additiv betreut nach eigenen Angaben weltweit rund 30 Kunden aus den Bereichen Vermögensverwaltung, Banking und Versicherung. Das Fintech beschäftigt etwa 200 Mitarbeitende und verfügt neben dem Hauptsitz in Zürich über Standorte unter anderem in Singapur, Frankfurt, Dubai, London, Jakarta und Makati City auf den Philippinen. Die Implementierung der Plattform dauert laut Unternehmensangaben oft nur drei bis sechs Monate und damit deutlich weniger als bei vergleichbaren Lösungen. In den vergangenen drei Jahren legten die wiederkehrenden Umsätze im zweistelligen Prozentbereich zu; zudem verweist Additiv auf eine Kundenbindungsrate von 138 Prozent und einen Net-Promoter-Score von über 90 Punkten.

Für den langjährigen Grossaktionär Martin Ebner markiert der Verkauf den Ausstieg aus einer Beteiligung, die trotz wiederkehrenden Wachstums als anspruchsvoll galt. Ebner hielt direkt und indirekt rund 60 Prozent an Additiv und hatte sich parallel bei Temenos verstärkt, wo er seinen Anteil im Jahr 2024 auf rund 20 Prozent ausgebaut hat. Der Kaufpreis für Additiv wird von den Parteien nicht offengelegt. Damit bleibt offen, in welchem Umfang Ebner von der Integration des Zürcher Fintechs in den deutlich grösseren, börsenkotierten Bankensoftware-Spezialisten profitiert – und wie sich die Transaktion für die übrigen Temenos-Aktionäre auswirkt.
