Jessica and Laura-
I will not be at the PACAB meeting Wednesday as I will be in Anchorage for training. Please note-when I submitted my
report for the packet, cruise ships were still scheduled. See email below for the update that there will be NO CRUISE
SHIPS docking in Seward this summer.
However, the Alaska Railroad's Coastal Classic(Anchorage/Seward/Anchorage)will still start their daily service July 1,
2020.
Please distribute this to the Board as a laydown update to the report included in the packet.
Thank you.

Greetings Everyone,
Today the Alaska Railroad learned through a Cruise Industry News today that Canada will continue their ban of"vessels
with overnight accommodations allowed to carry more than 100 people" until October 315t. This will inevitably impact
any remaining vessels that were planning on calling to Alaska via Canada this summer.
Please be advised that Viking has canceled their cruises through August 315t, which will eliminate their season in
Alaska. We expect to see more 'official'cancellations based on the above which will mean NO cruise ships docking in
Seward this summer.
I will continue to keep everyone updated with additional information that might develop. Not great news for the last
Friday in May.
