Hope for Alaska is if the Jones Act (requiring a ship to make a port of call in a foreign county) could be temporarily waived for Alaskan cruise season. The ships could sail out of Seattle and by pass Canada completely. This will really hurt the people of Alaska to miss two cruise seasons so hopefully this be considered. There is a movement taking place to try and get this approved. So those with 2021 Alaskan cruise bookings there is still a little hope on the horizon.

This has been an incredibly hard year but the good news is cruise bookings for the future are really strong. That opening day of the last release from Regent beat any past record significantly. Once this does get back to a semblance of normalcy I feel the volume of bookings will be record breaking. This is all down to one basic thing - vaccines around the world. Plus the scientists getting ahead of the variant curve for the future which may be something that will be required annually just like the flu shot but far more important.
