AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Alaska Travel Pulse: Seabourn Encore just kicked off its 2026 Alaska season with its maiden voyage to Vancouver, then plans seven-to-14 day trips between Vancouver and Juneau—built for fjords, remote stops, and extra Glacier Bay time. Memorial Day Travel Reality Check: AAA is forecasting a record 45 million Americans traveling over the holiday, but higher gas prices are already reshaping plans—more road trips, slightly fewer flights, and travelers looking for cost-conscious options. Airport Upgrade Watch: Alaska Airlines is rolling out a renovated Seattle-Tacoma North Main Terminal with a bigger check-in hall, new bag-drop tech, and upgraded security lanes. Local Flavor: Sitka is welcoming Virgin Voyages’ Brilliant Lady for its inaugural port call—an adults-only first for both the ship and the Alaska market. On the Move: The Aleutian Ballad is back in action as a hands-on Ketchikan fishing tour vessel, turning a “Deadliest Catch” survivor story into a real-world visitor experience.
