YouTube Video Description↓

Cruising Norwegian Encore in Alaska is as much about the places you visit as the things your see passing by your verandah. Sipping hot coffee and watching wildlife pass by one day and exploring old mining towns or taking mountain hikes the next - there is so much to see. On our seven night cruise, we start by departing Seattle and sailing through Alaska's Inside Passage toward Juneau and then Skagway. Highlights in this video include hiking up Mt Roberts, watching whales breach from our balcony, riding the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway, as well as the sights, sounds, and features of Norwegian Encore. Oh, and we enjoyed some nice beer and food in Skagway - definitely two spots we'll be revisiting.
