Moments of Awe

The moments that make you stop, look again and stay a little longer.

Sometimes it’s the scale of the place. Sometimes it’s something you didn’t expect to find. Explore the experiences that made us pause and the stories behind them.

Visiting Glacier Bay, Alaska

Our day sailing into Glacier Bay aboard the MS Noordam on an Inside Passage cruise, with time at Margerie Glacier, the wildlife and tips for the day.

It isn't always the biggest sight that stays with us.

Sometimes it’s something we nearly walked past, or a moment we didn’t expect to have. We stop, pay attention, and leave remembering the place a little differently.
