Episode notes

Today on Cruise News: Huna Totem Corporation is scaling back its Áak'w Landing cruise dock in downtown Juneau after costs topped $250 million, trimming the planned indoor space from 50,000 to 18,000 square feet even as Juneau's new daily passenger limits take effect for the 2026 season. In Finland, the Meyer Turku shipyard lifted the 25-meter-tall AquaDome onto Royal Caribbean's Hero of the Seas, the fourth Icon-class ship, ahead of its August 2027 debut from PortMiami. And Costa Cruises rolls out a summer sale with up to $500 off select cabins and up to 30 percent off its My Drinks package, with a booking deadline of August 9, 2026.
