Explore Seward, Alaska
with Celebrity Cruises

Seward, Alaska. Named for President Lincoln's U.S. Secretary of State William Seward, who negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867, this tiny fishing village is encircled by the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, the Chugach National Forest and Kenai Fjords National Park. Otters, seabirds, black bears and moose are just a few of the area's inhabitants.

The Center is a window offering a view into the rich and varied cultures of Alaska's Native people and is a unique opportunity to learn and explore the traditional ways of five distinct Native Alaskan cultures.
Enter the 26,000 square-foot Welcome House that contains interpretative displays, a theater hosting daily performances of Native dance troupes, and Native artisans creating customary arts and crafts.
