Cruise Flexibility Boost: Windstar just rolled out its “Peace of Mind Promise” on select 2026–27 sailings, letting passengers cancel up to seven days before departure for most cruise value as a future credit—plus an advisor-friendly all-inclusive add-on (Wi‑Fi, gratuities, select drinks) booked through June 30. Alaska Road Openings: DOT&PF says the McCarthy Road and the Denali Highway are now open for the season, with crews doing ongoing maintenance and a cautious 35 mph advisory in current conditions. Midnight Sun Starts Up North: Utqiaġvik (Barrow) is seeing its last sunset for 84 days, with Fairbanks and Anchorage also sliding into long daylight stretches. Travel Costs Pressure: New survey data says 4 in 10 Americans plan no summer trip, mainly due to affordability—while Memorial Day projections still point to record-level demand despite higher gas. Wildlife Safety Reminder: Alaska Zoo’s “Bear Aware” event pushed practical tips for hiking and biking around bears.
