When does Alaska start showing up in May 2026?

Alaska becomes practical at the 600-point tier in release 2605C. That is the first tier with a clear Alaska sailing: Ovation of the Seas on a 7 Night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier Interior from Seward.

What This Means

The 600-point Alaska option is limited, but it is real. It is also the first two-guest offer in the release, which gives it extra importance for lower-tier players. The sailing count at 600 is only 34, so this is not a broad Alaska tier. It is a single-entry point.

The next step up is 800 points, where Alaska becomes more usable. That tier adds multiple Alaska sailings, including Ovation of the Seas on a Southbound Hubbard Glacier Oceanview and Voyager of the Seas on Alaska Experience itineraries from Seattle. If the question is when Alaska becomes practical rather than merely available, 800 is the better answer.

So the threshold is 600 for access, but 800 for real choice. This month, Alaska starts early.

Why It Matters

This page answers the simple question players ask first: how many points does it take before alaska 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 Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glac Interior - GTY.

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.
