After two years with little-to-no cruise traffic, Southeast Alaska communities are expecting a lot of cruise ships this season. But it's not clear how many people will be on them.

“The big question for us is how full the ships are actually going to be when they arrive,” Perry said.

“I know that worldwide, cruising has been operating at about 60-70% capacity. What that means for the Alaska cruise season, we’re just not sure,” she said.. That’d be just shy of a million passengers. Skagway Mayor Andrew Cremata, for his part, says he expects ships to fill up as the season progresses.

For a couple of reasons: First, Cremata says the omicron variant put a damper on cruise bookings, though lately he says they’ve bounced back. Second, he says there’s still some uncertainty about how Canada’s rules could affect Alaska’s cruise season.
