Sad to see Cunard leaving Alaska in September as they do offer a wonderfully unique way to see it

But I'm sure we'll be back to Alaska very soon on a different line as it was a truly unforgettable trip ❤️

Something we'll never forget 🚢

Let's talk about Queen Elizabeth 🚢

It's been nearly 5 years since I last travelled on her and she still felt wonderfully classy and art deco

The ship has tonnes of space both inside and out so there were plenty of spots for people to take in the incredible scenery of Alaska

[Cruising with Matthew @MatthewCruises]

However The itinerary itself was fantastic - 3 Glaciers, 5 Alaska Ports and a full day in Victoria. So it felt like we really had a great overview of this incredible part of the world

We saw tonnes of wildlife too which was a real highlight for us

@JimmyBolton80 Aw I'm sorry! That would have been good

[Cruising with Matthew @MatthewCruises]

@angelalhorton Woohooo! Be great to have a catch up ❤️

Interrupting my Seattle Spam to say...

WE'VE BOOKED A CRUISE! So excited to say we managed to get onto Queen Victoria's Round Britain Cruise as well as being part of the 4 Queen's Celebrations in Liverpool!

@bollingerbabe1 @ChihulyGG Thank you so much ❤️

[Cruising with Matthew @MatthewCruises]

Yesterday afternoon, we headed to the Seattle Centre to see the incredible Chihuly Garden and Glass 😮

Some truly stunning pieces - at times it felt like something out of Willy Wonka!

[Cruising with Matthew @MatthewCruises]

@JimmyBolton80 @cunardline Haha we did spend a long time there 😄

[Cruising with Matthew @MatthewCruises]

With all the exploring we've done in Seattle since Saturday, it's crazy to think we're embarking Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth tomorrow!

Cannot wait for our 12 night cruise to Alaska 🚢❤️
