- 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? • 7 Days in a Balcony Ca... **
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. Plus crew!

Emma is the best Brand Ambassador a company could ask for. I never had interest in taking a cruise until I started watching her channel.
You’re so kind, Thank you! 😁❤️
Completely agree!
You don't have to tell us twice! 💙
Same.
Ditto that. Keith from Seattle.
I know I was here. I filmed this and saw it with my own eyes, but it's still hard to believe that this is a real place on earth. 😅🥰
Thank you SO much for your comments and questions and support on this trip, it was entirely because of you that Norwegian invited me to Alaska to make this video. Given that my first-ever cruise was in Alaska with Norwegian at age 11, it was a real dream come true, and I can't thank you enough! 😘😁
I hope you enjoy these videos and the rest in the series can be found here:

Thanks Emma. We always love your content!
@@gerritmilbert1431 Thanks so much!! Appreciate you :)
I do agree that hardly anyone would have wanted to see a video about Walmart. The boat portion was a much better option. At same time, I suspect the Alaskan Walmart to have a few things different than one you would have found in the continental lower 48 States. If you wanted a clear difference, you could have poked your head into one in Seattle.
Emma, that cruise was sponsored? :)
@@e30ygc Yess, thats why you're seeing me on Norwegians channel, they hired me to make this video for them. If you want to check out the content on my channel you'll see 'ad' and 'paid promotion' to show it was filmed on a press trip. hope this helps! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I can't be the only one who had never considered a cruise like this but because of Emma we are giving it serious consideration.
I love that, I've been promoting NCL Cruises like this since I was 11 so I guess I've had practise... ha ha. 🤣🤣🤣
Alaska was my parent’s favorite cruise out of a dozen in many other places.
Same here. Her opinions have great sway with me.
Thank you Norwegian Cruise lines for having Emma Cruises hosting this video.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I love seeing Emma's adventures. NCL did a great job bringing her on board.
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma sent me here. Yea Emma, Go Emma. Emma for the win. 👍
Ha ha, I feel so powerful!! Ha ha. Thanks so much 🥹❤
Emma, Im so glad you got to partner with NCL for this video! I credit (blame?) you and your audio cruise guide for booking my first cruise - with NCL to Alaska this September!
Thanks so much! Dream come true for me. I accept all responsibility for this because you'll have the best time EVER!!! Ha ha. Have a great time! 🥳🥳
Emma captured this trip beautifully. We've just returned from the same itinerary (the week after this was filmed) and had such a fantastic experience. The Encore is a beauty.
Awwwh, hope you enjoyed it as much as me!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Yes Norwegian thank you because I am a big fan of Emma cruises so thank you
Thanks Noah you're the best!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma sent me! I've never been on a cruise, but her videos about this beautiful Alaska cruise are seriously tempting me to give it a try.
Thank you! 😁❤
Thanks Emma what an awesome cruise, Kudos for NCL for letting you be our guide. Will have to add this to our to do list
Thanks so much!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma and Hudson make the best cruise videos! Dying to take a Norwegian cruise!
Emma is doing a great job as your Ambassador.
Norwegian Cruise Line, much like Ogres (and onions) have LAYERS! One layer is the pools. One layer is all the bars and lounges. One layer is all the entertainment options. One layer is the delicious food. And there's still so many layers! Thanks, NCL, for bringing Emma on board as your guest for this wonderful exploration of Alaska! You two really do make a perfect pair!
Awwh thanks so much!! ❤❤
And in the morning, we're making waffles! 💙
@@norwegiancruiseline DONKEYY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSSSEEE? (Scottish accent) 🤣
This is so great! Thanks @ncl for inviting @EmmaCruises !!!
Thanks so much Owen!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
We feel like we're the lucky ones! 💙
@@norwegiancruiseline Awhh you 😅❤️
I always enjoy Emma’s videos, and this trip looks amazing. 😊👍👍
You are so kind! Appreciate it. Thank you! 😁❤
Thanks NCL for sponsoring Emma Cruises; she is one of my favorite UA-camrs!😀
Ours, too! 💙
Awhhh Thank you! 😁❤️
I enjoy Emma's videos and this trip seems like one of a kind! I love that she also talks about less glamorous aspects of traveling, like finding restrooms :D
Ha ha, it's very important!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
@@EmmaCruises oh so, so important!
I also won the Ketchikan lottery on my Alaskan cruise two years ago, when I did a fishing excursion. I got a sunny day with lots of salmon biting, so a really ideal excursion. My next Alaskan cruise will be on Encore and, yes, Emma’s videos have influence my decision and I’m brining my sister and niece this time.
Oooo!!! That is amazing. Have the best time ever!! ❤❤❤
🎉 You were RIGHT Emma. It looks LOVELY! 💙
Emma is the best!!! Thanks for partnering with her, NCL!
Thanks so much 🥹❤
Thank s for a wonderful video @EmmaCruises they are alway so informative and beautifully filmed
Thanks so much, appreciate it!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma sent me over here! Great video! Double dose of Emma videos today!! Wooo ❤️
Woohoo!! Busy day!! ❤❤
I went on my very first cruise because of Emma, and it was on Norwegian Prima. I’m so glad you guys chose her to showcase your Alaskan cruise!
Awwwhhh, Thank you! 😁❤
Do I go on cruises? No. Will I click and watch every single video of Emma's? Absolutely. If anyone persuades me to try this, it's her
Emma made me fall in love with cruises.
Thanks so much 🥹❤
Congrats on being an NCL ambassador, Emma! Much deserved.
Thank you!! i love it. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma the best!
Awwwh you are very kind. Thank you! 😁❤
Good job NCL inviting Emma. She is great!
Thanks so much 🥹❤
Thank you Norwegian for the @EmmaCruises Emma's adventures. Love her channel. We need more from both of you working together.
Thanks so much! We have future plans 😉❤
@@EmmaCruisesYay!
Thanks, Norwegian for hosting Emma. Thanks, Emma for another wonderful video. I have never had an interest in a cold-weather cruise, but you have changed my mind.
Thank you! 😁❤
Thanks so much to Emma - I watch her channel religiously - love she was invited !!
Thanks so much 🥹❤
These excursions look so fun, especially the train. Great video as usual by Emma. Thanks NCL for inviting Emma to do her thing….provide information in an enjoyable format. Emma’s videos of this cruise makes me want to give NCL a try in the future.
The train was INCREDIBLE. We got so lucky with that weather. Thanks so much for your kind comment. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
@@EmmaCruises I have to agree on the train. I was so blown away by the scenery when I did the train ride in May. I think the train was my favorite excursion of the entire trip. The air was so crisp and clean, scenery was amazing. It was definitely a “must do”
Thank you for sending Emma, it looks wonderful.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Watching Emma's cruise experiences with Norwegian. This cruise looks like a lot of fun and great sights.
Thanks lots!! ❤❤
Very smart move to include both Miss Emma and Captain Hudson on this cruise. Stay safe.... Cheers.....J
Thank you! 😁❤️
I am here courtesy of Emma Cruises. I hope her partnership with Norwegian Cruise Line will be as grand as your ship. Encore Encore!
Encore indeeed!! Thank you! 😁❤
Emma sent me 😊Norwegian, fantastic partnership with Emma Cruises. We have followed her for years.
We are in early stages of planning our Alaskan cruise, and her experience with y'all puts Norwegian in our top three. Cheers!
Thanks so much, I love this!! Have a great time! 🥳🥳
Emma's videos of her Alaska cruise onboard the Encore has me seriously considering booking my first cruise as an adult. I don't think I've seen another cruise line or ship that checks off all of my wish list items for a cruise. Thank you Norwegian Cruise Line for working with such a great content creator! This has made me add an Alaskan cruise with NCL to the top of my list for planning my next vacation.
Awwhh. thanks so much for taking the time to share this it is so appreciated!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma has encouraged me to look into a Norwegian Cruise, as i have only been in Royal Caribbean before.
I would have to restrain myself in order to not bust out of the toilets at the dog camp and start singing, "Somebody once told me...!" My daughter and I are planning a cruise to Alaska for her 21st birthday in a year and a half and I have been watching several videos from a variety of cruising UA-camrs and you are just the best with not only with what you cover, but your visuals are amazing and you have a great sense of humor. Our caveat is a cruiseline that doesn't cater too much to people with young children. So, it was nice to see that on this ship (including your other video from this trip) it's not packed with kids. Definitely subscribing!
YESS!! Glad you see it too. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Thanks Emma for creating all this content! I've been on 3 Alaska cruises and still saw some new things that I haven't seen before. Never cruised with Norwegian before but watching your videos certainly make me want to!
Oooo, that sounds amazing. Thanks so much 🥹❤
Emma is the best tour guide! Thanks for letting her do this cruise, and then share it with us! Love her channel and the Friday night live chats as well.
Awwwh thanks so much you are so kind!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Thanks Emma for sending me here !
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
This was great! Emma is always fun to follow along on journeys with!!!
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
This was amazing!!!! Alaska sounds like such a great place to take a cruise!!!
The best!! Thanks so much 🥹❤
Came her after watching Emma Cruises video about the ship. I love listening to her experiences!
Thanks so much!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma is the only cruise channel I watch. queen of cruise reviews. She got me to make an NCL account to hear about deals, bc i NEED to go back to alaska on another one of ur cruises :0
Awwwh thanks so much!!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I enjoy watching Emma's cruises. Glad she managed to go on a few shore excursion. What a great land to visit.
HOW am I only just watching this now?! What an experience - this has taken me right back to my Alaska cruise - one of my absolute best cruise experiences to date!
Love that!!! Hey hey heeeyyy!!!
Emma is the best! 💕💕💕awesome video 💕💕💕
I watched Emma cruises for at least a year. My husband and I sail with Royal Caribbean and are Diamond members. We are planning on going to Alaska next year. We are definitely considering trying an NCL cruise now after seeing this video. Great video Emma!
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
I trampolined over here because of @EmmaCruises ! Planning an Alaska cruise for my big birthday and that train ride looks amazing 🤩
Ha ha!! TRAMPOLINED OVER HERE. I love that so much!! Ha ha. Thank you! 😁❤
Big fan of @EmmaCruises
This video with Emma is the first time I have seriously started to consider cruising on Norwegian. I love watching Emma’s cruising adventures, but for me sailing with Cunard has been the only shipping line I’ve ever been interested in, especially after crossing to Southampton on the QM2. However, a cruise to Alaska on this Norwegian ship looks really good on several levels. Thank you Emma and NCL.
Oooo!! Amazing. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Thanks to Norwegian Cruise Lines for having Emma on your amazing cruise. She is the best reviewer and makes me want to go cruising. Alaska is on my bucket list. I live in Tasmania, Australia, so it's a long trip before I even get onboard. I'm much closer to Antarctica :)
Any cruise you send Emma on, I guarantee I will watch. Tom.
Awwwh thanks so much Tom!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
So great to see an Emma video on Norwegian. My first cruise was with Norwegian and I love this content.
Emma's videos are wonderful. We watch her all the time, and while we always like to cruise, we get some great tips.
Thanks so much for watching and your kind words! I appreciate it 😀❤
Another fantastic video Emma, thank you so much for all you share
Thank you! 😁❤️
Came for the Emma, stayed for the cruise! Another bang on job - I really want to go there.
Thanks so much 🥹❤
Emma Cruises sent me. Lovely cruise!
Thank you! 😁❤️
You guys chose the right person to provide great, educational information about your cruises! Emma was the reason I chose NCL as my first cruise line to try a few years back. I'm now four cruises in and have a 3-week Panama Canal cruise coming up next year.
I'm so glad you love it!! Thanks so much 🥹❤
NCL…. Great job hiring Emma for this vlog. She does a great job!
Thanks so much Ronald, very kind!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma Cruises does it again, another cruise to add to my to do list and it goes up to the top.
Ha ha, Thanks so much 🥹❤ Ps, I can't be held responsible for the cruise budget... ha ha.
Emma sent me here! Sadly, I've only been as far as the fabulously scenic Vancouver Island and that was way back in 1980.... but a friend has been on this cruise and loved it! Thanks to Emma for taking us along with her, I always enjoy her informative travels around the globe... From Sydney, Australia.... 👍🦘
Hey hey!! Thank you! 😁❤
Love Emma Cruises!!
Emma is the best person to showcase cruises, great job!
Awhhh, Thank you! 😁❤️
Emma cruises is so good at documenting cruises and ships. Love it💕
Thanks so much 🥹❤
Here from Emma's channel! Historic railway tours are a totally different beast from commuter trains, I'm glad she got to experience one :)
Thank you! 😁❤
Emma sent me. I do love her videos and other cruise resources on her website. You're so fortunate to have her as an ambassador for your brand. Coincidentally, we were on the Regent Seven Seas Explorer berthed right next to the Encore. I wish I could have met her while we were parked side-by-side, if only to show her I had my Captain Hudson II on Regent.
Oh wow!! We would have seen you some our tour boat!! Hope you had a great time. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Just found your channel thanks to Emma Cruises
Woohoo!! Thanks for letting Norwegian know 🫢❤️
We love Emma!!!!! Well done Norwegian Cruise Line! If I ever cruise, it will be because of Emma.
Awhh Cindy Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Thanks NCL & Emma for the video excursions like the dog sledding excursions! Cute dogs!
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
I came over from Emma's channel and I must say everything looks amazing!
Thank you! 😁❤
I have only been on one cruise. It was a Norwegian cruise, 20 years ago, for my honeymoon. It was amazing. Watching Emma makes me remember that amazing trip and I dream about taking my daughter in her first cruise sone day.
So glad it bought back lovely memories! Thank you! 😁❤
Go Emma!!!!! She is the best!!
You are so kind, Thank you! 😁❤
Looks amazing, and always love seeing content from Emma Cruises, my favourite cruise content creator! What a great partnership! Hope to see more of Emma on Norwegian's channel in the future!
Thanks so much!! ❤❤❤❤
Came here as Emma is a fab cruise vlog channel… hadn’t thought about cruising Alaska with NCL before and now we will definitely be booking Alaska with NCL ❤
Awwwh thanks so much!!! Thank you! 😁❤
Emma sent me here. I live in Victoria BC and quite a few years ago I took a 7-day cruise to Alaska from Vancouver. I went with my sweet mother-in-law Pearl and we enjoyed it so much. Today I loved watching Emma's videography of beautiful Alaska. K
Thanks so much 🥹❤
Such fun! Sent from Emma's video.
Emma gives such useful information about cruising
We’ve done many cruises,but the Alaska cruise is by far our favorite
Emma sent me! Amazing video. She does such a great job! Thanks NCL for partnering with her. I’m taking my first cruise in August. It is an Alaska Cruise. I appreciate Emma’s videos which have helped me to prepare. Thanks Emma!
Thanks so much you're really kind! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I love watching Emma!!
Go Emma!!!
Came over from Emma's channel, and I'm excited to see the excursions!🎉
I didn’t think cruising was for me until watching Emma. Now I am seriously considering it. Thanks Emma.
Wheyy! Only takes 1 to be hooked 😂❤
I've subscribed because I follow Emma Cruises.
Thanks so much 🥹❤
Here for Emma❤
Appreciate you!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
So interesting. What luck on the weather! I love Emma's videos.
Emma is great!!! Please have her do more videos for you!!
Thanks so much!! We're planning the next thanks to the lovely comments like yours here!!! Thank you! 😁❤
I have never considered ncl for a cruise but emma cruises has done a great job with her videos and i going to to book a ncl cruise next year and i'm really looking forward to it thank you emma cruises for opening up a new cruises line to me. 👍
I've been on 4 cruise lines and I am an avid researcher and cruise enthusiast but only Emma's video on Encore convinced me to try NCL next. I'm sold :)
Woohooo!!! Have a great time! 🥳🥳
We’ve booked Alaska with Norwegian, after seeing how good Emma’s cruise was
Wheeeyy!! I'm so envious that yours is in the past!! Hope you get weather like ours. Have a great time! 🥳🥳
Emma is incredible! So is Alaska!
Awwwh!! Thanks so much 🥹❤
Emma is the the sole reason I am now going on my first cruise next week. Never even considered cruising as something for me. If I like this one this cruise to Alaska may need to be next .
Eee that is so exciting!! I hope you have the best time. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I really want to cruise in Alaska, looks incredible!! Thanks Emma
We love Emma Cruises!
With regards to Alaskan cruises specifically, back in the VHS days, hubs and I once asked for a travelogue on an Alaskan cruise and every bit of it was things that made us *not* want to go to Alaska, ever. By contrast, we would gladly follow Emma and Captain Hudson anywhere.
Haha!! Thank you! 😁❤
Thank you Emma for pointing me to this video from your UA-cam channel. So exciting!!!
SO EXCiTING!!! Thank you! 😁❤
Emma sent me here.
