UnCruise Adventures

Wilderness Discoverer Inviting, and oh-so cared for by her crew, the Wilderness Discoverer delivers big adventure with fine finishing touches. Wild, remote, and at the edges of the map, she carries a bit of Alaska wherever she sails—the beautiful bar top and tap tower are made from a yellow cedar log found in Peril Strait. But looks aside, she doesn’t hold back when it comes to exploration. Her shoal draft allows access to waters that are off-limits to bigger boats, where she can slip right in. An instigator of action, she was the first “Wilderness” boat in the family and set us on a path toward greater adventures that you’ll experience, too. The Lounge has a GPS map for you to monitor the ship’s location throughout your voyage, The lounge also has a limited library, filled with wildlife encyclopedias, Alaska guidebooks, and some light reads. Guests can buy hiking gear, knit caps, and T-shirts, with and without the logo of UnCruise Adventures. Binoculars are available for wildlife-spotting. The dining room features open seating where meals will be served at set times throughout the day. Unlimited beverages, alcoholic and non, are included in the price of the cruise. Vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options are always available, and dietary restrictions are happily accommodated if noted in advance. Onboard Amenities EZ Dock kayak launch platform, bow-mounted underwater camera, kayaks, paddleboards, inflatable skiffs, hiking poles, snorkel gear/wetsuits, two on-deck hot tubs, fitness equipment and yoga mats, movie and book library. Wi-Fi (note: not available when we are within national parks, wildlife preserves, or other protected areas.

Onboard Life

Active Adventure

Each day brings opportunities to kayak through quiet inlets, paddle board past glaciers, hike old-growth forests, and snorkel reefs. Equipment and guides come standard — pick the activity, the boat carries the gear.

Wildlife Up Close

Small ships go where 200-passenger cruisers can't — close to humpback whales feeding in the Inside Passage, sea lions hauled out on rocks, and orcas hunting in narrow channels. Expedition leaders know the wildlife corridors by heart.

All-Inclusive Onboard

Every excursion, every meal, every drink (beer, wine, spirits), and every piece of expedition gear is included. No surprise charges at the end of the week — what you paid is what you paid.

Local & Sustainable Dining

Menus shift with where the ship is — Alaska salmon and king crab fresh off the boat, Hawaii poke and ahi caught that morning, organic produce from regional farms. Two seatings, family-style portions, dietary needs accommodated.
