When does Europe start showing up in May 2026?

Europe first becomes practical at 800 points in release 2605A. That is the first tier with a clear European option in the top results, and it is not a token appearance. The best example is Ovation of the Seas on a 7-night Greek Isles sailing, though the broader 800-point list is still dominated by Caribbean and Mexico.

What This Means

The reason 800 works is simple: it is the first tier where Europe shows up without forcing a jump into the balcony-heavy 1,200-point band. The sailing count is 292, which is enough to shop, and the tier still includes Alaska and a few Bermuda and Asia options.

At 1,200 points, Europe becomes more comfortable because balcony GTY inventory appears and the Mediterranean list grows. Brilliance of the Seas shows up with Greek Isles and Turkey or Cyprus sailings, which are better fits for players who want the region first and the cabin second.

But if the question is where Europe becomes practical, the answer is 800. That is the first point level where the certificate offers a real European path without a major step-up in points.

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 Balcony - GTY Cruise Fare For 1 Guest $100.

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.
