Alaska Cruise Tickets on Sale Again, Raising Tourism Hopes

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has resumed ticket sales for voyages to Alaska after the U.S. Senate passed a bill last week that could help save the state's upcoming cruise season. The Alaska Tourism Restoration Act that passed unanimously would temporarily allow large cruise ships to temporarily skip required stops in Canadian ports while traveling between Washington and Alaska. The federal legislation, introduced by Alaska U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, would still have to be passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed into law by President Joe Biden. But tickets are now on sale for trips on the company's Norwegian Bliss ship for August onwards, raising hopes the latter part of the Alaskan cruise season can be salvaged.
