When determining "how far in advance to book an Alaska cruise," cruise lines have offered reservations years in advance. For instance, Holland America Line opened booking in May 2023 for sailings departing in 2026.
Booking early for an Alaskan cruise offers benefits. Discounted pricing and a wider range of cabin choices are available. Historically, Alaska cruises have soared in popularity since Princess Cruises launched the first "Love Boat" in 1977.
