Creator's Key Takeaways
We have arrived at the train. This is our train for the day. The Alaska Railroad train. We are in car 4 today. 6C and day.
So, it made the check-in process super simple.
I have missed the Grand Class ship. It has been almost a year since I was on Azera. So, I am excited to get back on a Grand Class ship.
We're going to head up to deck six to have some dinner in the Anytime Dining. Let's go see.

It's day 5 of our Princess Cruises cruise tour and it's time to embark our 7 night Alaska cruise. Join us as we leave Mt McKinley Princess Lodge and take the Alaska Railroad from Talkeetna to Whittier on a direct to the wilderness train. After a 7 hour train journey we arrive in Whittier and embark the beautiful Sapphire Princess for one of her last Alaska sailings. We visited Denali in late August 2025 as part of an 11-night Princess Cruises cruisetour. Our cruisetour started in Fairbanks before moving to Denali and then onto Mt McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge, before we took the Alaska railroad to Whittier where we joined Sapphire Princess for a 7 night Southbound cruise to Vancouver, visiting: - Hubbard Glacier; - Glacier Bay National Park; - Skagway; - Juneau; and - Ketchikan Links (affiliate) Jacket https://amzn.to/3J7DbtO Camera tripod https://amzn.to/4n3WemR Owala bottle https://amzn.to/46XEfd7 Compression socks https://amzn.to/4oeiE5J Mini handheld fan https://amzn.to/4oewpBt Kindle https://amzn.to/478B8Ol Airfly https://amzn.to/473GKcC Loop ear plugs https://amzn.to/42AWe6v 3-in-1 charger https://amzn.to/4omr637 Phone tripod https://amzn.to/3WxjApZ Anker charger https://amzn.to/3WDwt1G Sony over ear headphones https://amzn.to/4nRHmJq Luggage scale https://amzn.to/42EXQw2 Pop up laundry basket https://amzn.to/4qoGfTp Packing cubes https://amzn.to/3KMFjYv Hand warmers https://amzn.to/4hqVB5L AirTag wristbands https://amzn.to/4q5KPFJ Links (not affiliate) Tripp medium suitcase https://www.tripp.co.uk/tripp-holiday-8-dark-sea-blue-medium-suitcase/p4123 Béis Small Carry on https://uk.beistravel.com/products/the-small-carry-on-roller-in-olive Béis travel tote https://uk.beistravel.com/products/the-travel-tote-in-camel?_pos=10&_sid=529eefa58&_ss=r Follow on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/what_emily_does?igsh=MW40YjlmcXlsdXN6eA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Check out our 2023 Alaska series https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmKc_z1koSxu5U2d3ZhrSj_tjdYwprBss&si=29LcTbQTwBew-IOp
