When does Alaska start showing up in May 2026?

Alaska is available at 600 points in release 2605C, so that is the practical unlock point this month. The clearest example is Ovation of the Seas on a 7 Night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier Interior, departing Seward on 2026-08-28, with Cruise Fare For 1 Guest and $50.

What This Means

That said, 600 is only the floor. The Alaska mix becomes more useful at 800 and then clearly stronger at 1200, where the number of viable sailings rises and the itinerary quality improves. If you want Alaska with more choice, 1200 is the better planning tier. If you just want the region to appear at all, 600 is enough.

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 Cruise Fare For 1 Guest $50.

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.
