In a move that most had written off as impossible in 2021, a bill has been passed by both houses of Congress with bipartisan support.  Oh, and once signed by President Biden, that bill means that Alaska cruises can resume in July!

In 1886, President Grover Cleveland signed into law the Passenger Vessel Services Act, or PVSA, and nearly 150 years later it continues to impact which itineraries you can take on a cruise vacation.  We'll look at why this law exists, and how it impacts the cruise industry....

Hopefully cruising will resume in the coming months, right around what should be the Alaska cruise season.  Unfortunately, even if cruising returns soon, the Mendenhall Glacier, quaint buildings of Ketchikan's Creek Street, and Juneau's Mt Roberts might not be on your itinerary.  Canadian and US laws and even CDC restrictions are putting the Alaska cruise season in jeopardy, but there are six things that might save it.
