As part of Norwegian Cruise Line’s (NCL) “Experience More of the World” campaign, Week Four turns the spotlight to Alaska, a destination defined by epic glaciers, rugged beauty and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
This week, NCL team members share favourite moments from sailing the Last Frontier.
Lara Anderson, NCL’s BDM for Victoria, hosted agents on a Seminar at Sea aboard Norwegian Jade®, sailing from Whittier to Vancouver.
“Norwegian Jade offers a more intimate way to experience Alaska’s wonders, including Hubbard Glacier and Icy Strait Point. It never felt crowded and there were no queues at restaurants,” said Anderson.
Her highlight? Skagway – home to the iconic White Pass Scenic Railway, “one of the most spectacular rail journeys in the world!”
Angela Middleton, Director of Sales AUNZ, sailed with her family on Norwegian Bliss® from Seattle. “Experiencing the thoughtful little touches NCL offers gave me a whole new perspective. Glacier Bay was a standout – sipping hot chocolate on The Waterfront® while onboard rangers pointed out wildlife was truly special.”
Her highlight? Also Skagway – “Instead of taking the White Pass railway, we toured up the pass with stops at key sights. Crossing into Canada was magical, it started snowing! One of the perks of cruising Alaska late in the season.”
Craig McLaurin, Field Sales Manager Aust. & BDM Queensland South has sailed on both Norwegian Joy® and Norwegian Bliss®.
“Both ships offer incredible dining and entertainment variety, and the floor-to-ceiling 180-degree views from the Observation Lounge are unmatched.”
His favourite ports? Ketchikan – “quirky, historic and full of great bars”, and Icy Strait Point for its “small-town vibe and amazing wildlife.”
