Cruises to Alaska are set to resume this summer after Congress passed a bill waiving the U.S. law that normally requires foreign flag cruises sailing between Washington and Alaska to stop in Canada.
The legislation comes in response to a Canadian ban on passenger vessels which was first in March 2020 in response to COVID-19. The ban is currently scheduled to stay in place until February 28, 2022.
The bipartisan Alaska Tourism Restoration Act provides a temporary waiver of the Passenger Vessel Services Act of 1886, which prohibits foreign-flagged passenger vessels from sailing to between two U.S. ports without first stopping at a foreign destination. For many Alaska-bound cruises departing from Seattle, this has meant a stopover in Canada.

That was the message shared by local and state tourism officials last week during the virtual event “Live from Alaska, hosted by Alaska Travel Industry Association (ATIA).” “Alaska is open and doing an exceptional job managing the pandemic,” said Sarah Leonard, president and CEO of ATIA. “Partly because we know how to social distance in our wide-open spaces, but mostly because our state did a phenomenal job with the vaccine rollout.”
