UnCruise Adventures

UnCruise Adventures are all about small ships and big experiences.

All their programs offer an unbeatable combination of activity, discovery, great service, expertise and awe-inspiring encounters. Accommodating just 22-86 guests aboard their fleet, UnCruise have the flexibility to adapt daily programs to make the most of prevailing conditions and highlights, plus every departure is accompanied by a passionate crew who are dedicated to bringing your journey to life.

Expect rainforests, glaciers and in-depth explorations of impressive Glacier Bay National Park. Brown bears, black bears, and “polar bear plunges.” Humpback whales, orcas and bald eagles. Hiking, kayaking, hot tubbing under the stars, even playing in the mud. Whether liquid sunshine or cloud failure, your expert expedition team will ensure you have an unforgettable journey.

Furthermore, all UnCruise vessels are designed to be nimble enough to navigate narrow waterways inaccessible to big cruise ships. Their shallow drafts and size gives them the advantage of access to seldom visited areas.
