THE MAJESTIC ALASKA FAMILY EXPEDITION
7 Nights on Norwegian Encore | June 27 – July 4, 2027
Departing Seattle, Washington

The Only Family Ship in Glacier Bay.

Not every cruise ship gets into Glacier Bay National Park. Access is strictly regulated by the National Park Service — only a handful of ships receive daily permits each season, and most of them are Princess or Holland America vessels built for a quieter, older traveler.

Norwegian Encore is the exception. And it's the only mega-ship with world-class family amenities that sails into Glacier Bay.

That means your family gets the most breathtaking scenery in North America and the go-kart track, the water slides, the Broadway shows, the kids clubs, and the laser tag arena. Princess and Holland can't offer that. We hand-selected this specific mid-summer sailing because it delivers both — and we locked in group pricing to make sure you pay less than you would booking directly with Norwegian.

What Awaits Your Family

🏔️ Glacier Bay National Park — Scenic cruising through one of America's crown jewels. Watch massive glaciers calve into the ocean. Spot humpback whales, bald eagles, and brown bears from the ship's rail. National Park rangers come aboard to give talks and answer questions — your kids can even get their National Parks Passport stamped.

🏎️ The Speedway — Over 1,100 feet of pedal-to-the-metal action on the largest race track at sea. Kids 55 inches and taller can drive their own car; smaller kids can ride in a two-seater with a parent.

🎯 Laser Tag & Galaxy Pavilion — Outdoor laser tag with an Atlantis theme, plus a virtual reality gaming pavilion that teens will not want to leave.

🌊 Water Slides & Aqua Racer — Multi-story water slides and a racing slide where you compete head-to-head in inflatable tubes.

🎭 Broadway Entertainment — Full-scale Broadway-caliber shows every night.

👧 Kids Clubs for Every Age — Splash Academy for ages 3–12 with creative activities and sports competitions, plus the Entourage Teen Club for ages 13–17 featuring art, movies, arcade games, and dance parties — all supervised by Norwegian's youth staff.

🌅 180-Degree Glass Observation Lounge — The best seat in Alaska, from the comfort of a heated lounge with floor-to-ceiling views.
