When does Alaska start showing up in May 2026?

Alaska opens at 800 points in 2605D. That is the first tier where the release gives Alaska enough presence to be a real option rather than a rare outlier.

What This Means

The unlock is Ovation of the Seas on 7 Night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier from Seward on 2026-06-05. The offer is Cruise Fare For 1 Guest $50. That is the clearest low-entry Alaska play in the release, and it sets the floor for the region.

The 800-point tier is small, with 109 sailings, but Alaska is visible there. The top five list is entirely Alaska at the top, and the best score in the tier comes from that Ovation sailing. That is enough to say Alaska is practical at 800, even if the rest of the tier is still mostly Caribbean and Mexico.

If you are looking for a more comfortable Alaska step-up, 1200 and 1500 both add balcony inventory and more Alaska dates. But the first practical unlock is 800, and it is anchored by Ovation out of Seward.

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.

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.
