We could not verify dated Alaska event listings, so this page lists verified schedule changes: the ferry's winter 2026/27 schedule runs October 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027, the Denali Star becomes weekend-only on September 19, 2026 (to May 9, 2027) and the Mendenhall Glacier pass applies May 1–September 30. Dates change, so confirm with organizers.
