What This Means

That is the first tier where Alaska shows up in the top set with a meaningful itinerary: Anthem of the Seas, 7n Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier, Interior GTY, from Seward, with a cruise fare for 1 guest and $50. The tier also has 207 sailings, so Alaska is not isolated there; it is part of a broader two-guest-leaning book that starts to open up beyond the lowest single-guest tiers.

At 600 points, Alaska appears only as a single sailing in the top five, and the tier is still mostly Mexico and Caribbean. By 800 points, Alaska is no longer just a curiosity. It becomes a real option alongside Mexico and Caribbean, and the cabin mix expands to include Balcony GTY and Oceanview GTY.

If you want Alaska this month, 800 points is the practical floor. It is the first tier where the region is visible enough to plan around rather than hope for.

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 Serenade Of The Seas for 7 Night Cabo Overnight, Catalina & Ensen.

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.
