Moments & Memories:

An Alaskan Scrapbook Cruise with Noreen Smith

Where Alaska Becomes the Pages of Your Story.

My co-host Tasha and I were shocked that our first sailing scheduled for August 8-15 2027 sold out in only 12 hours! We were excited - and humbled! - that so many of you wanted to spend time traveling and scrapbooking with us!

That's why we are thrilled that we have been able to book a second sailing for August 15-22, 2027, and after offering cruise and crop spaces them to our waitlisted guests, we have just a few spots left! Will you join us?

Just Imagine...

standing on deck, wrapped in a cozy sweater, watching glaciers drift past… knowing you’ll not only remember this moment — you’ll preserve it in your scrapbook, surrounded by a small group of women who love creativity as much as you do.

This isn’t just a cruise. It’s a shared creative journey through one of the most breathtaking places on earth.

And I would love for you to be part of it!

Two Creative Experiences at Sea on the Celebrity Summit - August 8-15 and August 15-22, 2027

Moments & Memories is an exclusive Alaskan cruise designed especially for scrapbookers who want more than sightseeing — they want time, space, and inspiration to tell the story of their adventure.

With just 50 cropping participants on each sailing, these experiences are intentionally small, warm, and personal. You won’t feel like just another passenger - you’ll feel like part of a creative circle traveling together.

On this cruise, you’ll enjoy:

  • Dedicated crop time

  • Scrapbooking classes and demonstrations

  • Breathtaking scenery and your choice of excursions

  • Relaxed pacing that lets you be present and creative

  • Meaningful conversations and connection with fellow memory-keepers

You’ll be gathering memories and turning them into pages while the experience is still fresh in your heart.


A Personal Note From Noreen

One of my favorite things about scrapbooking is how it lets us hold onto moments that might otherwise slip away. Now imagine doing that while you’re still experiencing them — with glaciers outside the window and beautiful supplies in front of you.

My co-host Tasha Walsh and I will be right there with you — not just as your hosts and facilitators, but as fellow travelers and scrapbookers. We’ll laugh, explore, create, and share stories together.

This cruise isn’t about rushing from activity to activity. It’s about slowing down, soaking in Alaska, and making time to preserve those memories in a meaningful way.

We truly can’t wait to share this experience with you!

Why These Cruises Are Different

There are lots of cruises and lots of scrapbook events. What is different about Moments and Memories? It's a gentle, beautiful blend of both — designed with intention.

We focus on presence over productivity.
You won’t feel pressure to “get pages done.” Crop time is relaxed, supportive, and inspiring.

Our small group changes everything.
With only 50 guests, it’s easy to connect, make friends, and feel truly part of the experience.

Creativity is woven into the journey.
Instead of waiting until you get home, you’ll create pages to document and preserve your memories while the emotions, colors, and stories are still fresh.

Alaska isn’t just the backdrop — it’s the inspiration.
From glaciers to wildlife to quiet ocean mornings, every day gives you something meaningful to preserve.

What You’ll Experience

You can expect a beautiful balance of:

🛳️ Scenic luxury cruising with wonderful dining and onboard amenities
📚 Dedicated cropping time, scrapbooking classes and creative demonstrations
📸 Inspiring landscapes, ports, and excursions
☕ Relaxed mornings, cozy creative sessions, and unhurried evenings
💬 Conversation, laughter, and connection with like-hearted women

You’ll return home not only with incredible memories — but with pages already telling the story.

Is this the right type of scrapbook cruise for you?

If you’re picturing stunning scenery, luxurious surroundings, delicious food and drinks, PLUS fantastic excursions and a dedicated crop room to scrapbook in, then this may be exactly the kind of adventure your heart has been waiting for. But we know it might not be right for everyone.

This scrapbook cruise experience is perfect for you if:

  • You love scrapbooking and preserving meaningful moments

  • You want time to create and time to simply soak in the scenery

  • You enjoy smaller, more personal group experiences

  • You prefer a relaxed pace over packed schedules

  • You value connection, conversation, and shared creativity

Skill level doesn’t matter. Whether you’re a seasoned scrapbooker or someone who just loves photos and stories, you are welcome here.

Bu Tasha and I want this to feel like the right fit, so here’s a little honesty.

This cruise may not be for you if:

  • You prefer large, high-energy cruise entertainment schedules

  • You like every minute of your trip tightly structured

  • You aren’t interested in scrapbooking or creative time

  • You’re looking for a fast-paced, party-style vacation

This experience is slower, cozier, and more connection-focused.
