Alaska 2026


Recommended Posts

The 25th is next week. How far before booking opens do they usually release the itineraries? Or do they do it all on the same day?

 

Norwegian just released 2026 Alaska yesterday.

The "Loyalty Week" thing really sticks a fork into the heart of one of the few remaining Elite perks which was the ability to book one day early. Now anybody who has ever sailed Princess has an entire week to book before those who haven't. Thanks a lot Princess. 😒 <mutters in his beard about JP......>

Sometimes a good hearted soul posts them here in advance  

You can ask your CVP to email them to you as they receive them and still get an edge. Just how much time that is these days, as Thrak mentions, I don't know.

Yeah, this one has me muttering into my not-beard. They're not leaving us much, are they? What's next?

Just saw this on facebook in a group.  

 

May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'Carmen Roig plans to go live. 4d Connect with Princess webinar series ALASKA 2026 PREVIEW Explore a land (and sea) of adventure Thurs., Jul 25 Noon PT 3pm ET Register using link in post> THU, JUL 25 AT 12PM Alaska 2026 Preview: Explore a land (and sea) of adventure 0037 Interested 5 comments'

Thanks for the info!

 

"Preview" usually implies an early look at something before it becomes available.  Does this mean Alaska 2026 bookings won't open up on the 25th as previously leaked?  Or is this another case of Princess trying to play catch-up with itself...

Not sure. A couple of agents posted there that they were unhappy that they had not received the info earlier like normal and sounded like they expected the cruises to start selling on the 25th. Who knows…
 

Maybe a travel agent can chime in

FWIW when we went to book 4 cabins on the Aug 2026 Solar Eclipse cruise on the first day of Loyalty Week when the Summer 2026 cruises came out, we are Elite and were able to book our cabin online in the morning (CDT) whereas our other family members who are not Elite couldn’t log on and book theirs until after lunch. 
 

Not quite exactly sure why they couldn’t book theirs until the afternoon. But maybe Elites now get the advantage of booking a new cruise in the morning on the first day while everyone else who qualifies for Loyalty Week has to wait until after Noon (PDT)? Truly just a guess from over here in the peanut gallery.

 

But the funny thing was that ALL of the suites and Reserve Class mini suites on the Sky Princess were already sold out by the time we went to book ours at 10 am! From what I could tell from the CC thread we got our information from, folks starting booking at midnight. Could certain big time travel agents have reserved a lot of those cabins early on for their clients? I know our TA was told they couldn’t book our cabin. We had to actually log on to book it. 🤔
