When does Alaska start showing up in May 2026?

Alaska becomes practical at 400 points in release 2605A. That tier is small, but it includes a clear Alaska option: a 7-night southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier sailing on Ovation of the Seas from Seward.

What This Means

The 400-point list is thin, so this is not a broad Alaska tier. It is a single strong entry point. Still, it matters because it puts Alaska on the board at the lowest tier in the certificate, before the more usable 600- and 800-point bands.

At 600 points, Alaska becomes more repeatable, with multiple Ovation and Voyager sailings from Seward and Seattle. At 800 points, it becomes genuinely practical: the Alaska mix deepens, the sailing count rises to 292, and the best results include balcony and one-guest offers with $100 free play.

So the threshold is 400, but the comfortable planning tier is 800. If the goal is simply to unlock Alaska, 400 does it. If the goal is to shop Alaska with real choice, 800 is the better working level.

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.
