Creator's Key Takeaways
I saw and did things that I could never have imagined pre-cruise and it's still hard to believe that this place exists and that I was there
we were split into groups of four or six and shown to our sleds these are the summer sleds with wheels because there was no snow on the ground when we visited in late April
the railway was actually built in 1898 and it has of course been updated a lot in that time
we were so lucky with the weather and that made the train trip even more special

Norwegian Cruise Line recently welcomed @EmmaCruises aboard Norwegian Encore to share her journey in a 4-part video series. Check out part three of the series and join the conversation, below! - - - I’ve just disembarked a cruise on one of the biggest and most exciting cruise ships in the world, where I spent 7 days exploring Alaska. I saw and did things on this cruise that, if I hadn’t seen with my own eyes, I would not have believed that they were real. From music to shows to food to icebergs and go-karts, our cruise had it all. I have wanted to return to Alaska ever since I took my first cruise when I was 11 years old, that cruise was onboard the Norwegian Spirit and I wanted to recreate that cruise as much as possible. This time on the much newer and bigger Norwegian Encore. ** This video is just one part of a series. Check out the other videos from this cruise here: 7 Days in a Balcony Cabin - Cruising Alaska: Worth It? https://youtu.be/qgaQ8qELZtE?si=Dr09qULuce7MYj_H ** I loved the trip so much back then but I didn’t know if it could possibly live up to my expectations as an adult. I wasn’t sure that we would have enough time to explore both the ports and the ship, and as I was over 4,700 miles on this cruise, it definitely felt like a gamble, one that I hoped would pay off! We boarded the ship in Seattle and I was very happy to be given an embarkation time of 11.30, I love being onboard a cruise ship for lunch that for me is always a great way to start a cruise. I have boarded cruises in the past at 8 pm or even at midnight, so 11:30 in the morning was fantastic. In total, embarkation took us around half an hour, and because we’d already watched the safety video on our phone, we just had to check into our safety muster station on the ship. After that, we were free to explore and to eat. Being onboard the ship was so exciting, I could see so many different bars and venues all with different themes and colours, it felt very modern and I wanted to explore everything. Encore was launched in 2019, so she’s relatively new by cruise ship standards, and she holds almost 4000 guests across her 20 decks.
