When does Europe start showing up in April 2026?

Europe becomes practical at 1,200 points in release 2604C. That is the first tier where the region shows up with enough volume to matter, and it is also the first tier where balcony GTY is part of the regular mix. The Europe count at 1,200 is still modest, but the combination of cabin type and itinerary quality makes it usable.

What This Means

The best evidence is the sailing set itself: Ovation of the Seas in Alaska dominates the top of the tier, but the broader mix includes Mediterranean sailings, including Barcelona and Rome departures in the higher tiers. At 2,000 points, Europe becomes more than a token option, with 31 Mediterranean sailings and a top score on Explorer of the Seas out of Barcelona. By 3,000, Europe is clearly in play, with 47 Mediterranean sailings and stronger balcony inventory.

If the question is where Europe first becomes realistic, the answer is 1,200. If the question is where it becomes comfortable, the answer is 2,000 to 3,000.

Why It Matters

This page answers the simple question players ask first: how many points does it take before europe even shows up?

Once it does show up, one of the better-looking options at that same level is Ovation Of The Seas for 7 Night Northbound Alaska & Hubbard Glac.

That turns the page from a yes-or-no answer into something more useful: the first point level where the destination becomes a real bookable conversation.
