This is truly a cruise unlike what one would be considered a cruise. It is an UN-cruise of outdoor adventure, operating from a comfortable smallish ship.
Wife and I arranged this trip on the recommendation of our son, Clark, who was in the travel field of business. The trip was his family plus his mom and dad (us), for 2024, but he died when his aorta burst and we had to re-book for 2025.
So Clark's two sons and his wife, plus us went in August 2025.
It was great. Our daughter-in-law and the two grandsons are adventure oriented and they were in heaven. Each morning and afternoon there were excursions: guided kayak, kayak explorations, bushwhacking hikes, all day kayak ventures. Eco-hikes, and inflatable boat trips.
My wife and I, at 79 years old were fine going on Eco-hikes and inflatable trips. Everyone had something they wanted to do.
The ship had 72 passengers aboard, plus crew. Meals were served in a comfy dining room with table service. The food was wonderful and seconds were mostly available...a super smile event for out two teen grandsons.
The lounge had an open bar-tended bar with cookies put out at 3pm daily. An evening briefing was done as to activities and each night had a featured speaker covering: Birds, Bears, Glaciers and Whales. All of the presenters were experienced experts and were excellent.
The Uncruise took place in SE Alaska and we were able to sail all over those many islands in our smaller ship. The large cruise liners were limited to areas and had to abide with time slots to get into and out of the big tourist attractions. We were able to take in sooooo much more.
Whales were a constant. Lots of flukes displayed, mothers with babies and spouts coming up helped us to pinpoint where they were. In the inflatables, the whale watching was thrilling.
A lot of nature and we went out in whatever the weather was at the time. We brought the gear and the ship had rubber boots for everyone.
Rooms were two bunks with private bath and shower. Absolutely fine and we were usually in bed right after the evening briefings and presentations. We slept well.
The crew was so accommodating and the ship captain had the bridge open to visit 24/7. The ship was kept super clean and was very safe.
UnCruise is unique and a company to look into, regardless of your age. The conduct ADVENTURE Cruises. We would go again.
