This is my understanding: Carnival through one of its subsidiaries has a 10% interest. The Subsidiary is actually under Holland American and is the subsidiary that provides tours and accommodations in Alaska for both Princess and Holland American.

The majority owner is a firm providing port services throughout Southeast Alaska. I think it utilized investors out of Seattle to fund the purchase. Initial reports were that it brought in a rail transport operator (short line and terminal operations) and service firm that is based out of Seattle to partner with the management of the WP&YR.
