ROYAL Caribbean has rolled out new Alaska adventures for 2026, with Voyager of the Seas (pictured) set to make her debut in the state.
The ship will visit Dawes Glacier, Endicott Arm, Juneau, Sitka and Skagway, as well as Icy Strait Point, on seven-night cruises departing Seattle.
The news comes in the wake of a significant victory for the industry in Alaska, as Juneau voters declined to adopt the proposed ‘Ship Free Saturdays’, which would have seen large cruise vessels banned from the city on a day typically reserved for local recreation (CW 21 Oct).
Meanwhile, Voyager will join Anthem of the Seas, Serenade of the Seas, and Ovation of the Seas as they offer seven-night cruises from Seattle, or 7- to 13-nights from Vancouver or Seward.
Ovation returns as the first in the action-packed Quantum Class lineup, with overland cruisetours.
Anthem will cruise seven-night vacations from Seattle to explore Skagway, Sitka, Endicott Arm, Dawes Glacier, and Juneau.
Meanwhile, Serenade takes in the sights in between destinations and passages like Icy Strait Point, the majestic Inside Passage, Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, and Tracy Arm fjord.
The new 2026 Alaska vacations are now open for bookings.
Royal Caribbean Group also announced it will construct a new port in Juneau earlier this week – which it later apologised to the city for blindsiding it with the announcement (CW 24 Oct). MS
