When Can I Book?

The following timeline is based on cabin availability. If the event sells out during the presale, guests with active assigned early booking times will have priority access to First Available Cabins as they become available. 

If you sailed with us on KTBA Alaska or you're booked to sail in 2026:

KTBA Alaska alumni and 2026 booked cruisers will be automatically assigned a 2027 early booking time*.

If you've sailed with KTBA previously (but were not booked on KTBA Alaska or are not currently booked in 2026):

Cruisers that did not sail on KTBA Alaska and are not booked for 2026 must register for the presale to receive an early booking time.* 

Being a part of the presale does not guarantee that staterooms will be left for purchase when it’s your time to book. If the ship fills up, we’ll offer the First Available Program.
