NCL Alaska scenic cruising: Norwegian Encore sailing away from Margerie Glacier (Glacier Bay in May)

I was on another cruise ship in Alaska during a Glacier Bay scenic cruising day, and we sailed past the Norwegian Encore as it was leaving Margerie Glacier! Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is one of the 3 mainstream cruise lines that have Alaska cruise itineraries that go to Glacier Bay National Park. But not all NCL cruise ships go to Glacier Bay, so be sure to look for it on the itinerary before you book! The other 2 mainstream cruise lines that go to Glacier Bay are Princess and Holland America. I have more on my blog about what you need to know before you book your Alaska cruise. The Norwegian Encore is a Breakaway Plus class NCL cruise ship, along with the Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Joy, and Norwegian Escape. _Disclaimer: Some websites below are affiliate partners and I may earn a commission._ *Official information from the National Park Service* What to expect on a cruise ship visit to Glacier Bay National Park: https://www.nps.gov/glba/planyourvisit/cruise.htm Glacier Bay cruise ship route map: https://www.nps.gov/glba/planyourvisit/typical-cruise-ship-route-in-glacier-bay.htm *My top picks for booking tours independently in Alaska cruise ports* https://www.viator.com/partner-shop/myperfectalaskacruise *About me* I've had 100+ cruise days, and 7 cruises have included Alaska!
