UnCruise Knows Alaska
“From paddling and hiking, to calving glaciers, Glacier Bay National Park, bears, whales, and polar plunges, UnCruise shows you Alaska up close and personal. No matter when you go, early in the season or late, Alaska is magical.
From early April into May, Southeast Alaska awakens. Bears, baby animals, migrating grey whales and birds, budding forests, snow-covered peaks, gushing waterfalls, and Aurora Borealis sightings can be part of your experience. Plus, it’s crowd-free.
Meanwhile, the long days of Alaska summers mean extra playtime. Temps are warmer, so there’s better access to higher elevation hikes. And humpbacks are back en masse. Come summer’s end and into early fall, wildlife gets busy — mating, migrating, and feeding up for winter.”
Longer 12- and 14-night Alaska itineraries are also offered, starting at $3,345 per person.

Pacific Northwest on the Columbia & Snake Rivers
“Go on a deep exploration of the San Juan Islands, South Puget Sound, and Deception Pass. Get a true taste of the Pacific Northwest on tidepool walks and hikes in temperate rainforests and to towering vistas. With great blue heron, owls, and other birds of the Salish Sea plus the whales, seals, porpoise and sea lions under the water, there’s wildlife all around.”

Hawaiian Islands
“Visit four of the Hawaiian islands and enjoy the wild side of this beautiful archipelago. Whales and dolphins alongside the boat are just the beginning of your Hawaii cruise adventure. Hit the beach, go on a volcano hike, paddle a kayak or snorkel through warm water, coral gardens and schools of neon-colored fish and sea turtles. Plus marvel and waterfalls and lava fields, and learning about Hawaiian culture from locals.”
7-night cruises between Molokai and Hawaii start at $5,995 per person.

Mexico & Sea of Cortez
“Explore the ‘world’s aquarium’ on a Mexico cruise in the Sea of Cortes. Greet sea lions from the boat or skiff, or slip into a wetsuit for an even closer encounter. Relax with your toes in the sand or get your blood flowing on a hike or a kayaking excursion. Explore wild Baja with a mule ride accompanied by a local ranchero or a snorkel with the sea lions in a quiet cove.”
7-night cruises round-trip San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico, start at $5,595 per person.

Costa Rica & Panama
“On a Panama and Costa Rica cruise, enjoy a skiff in the mangroves, kayak through the Chagres River, snorkel in warm coastal waters, or hike in the Osa Peninsula with wilderness and wildlife never far away. You will see colorful critters here, from scarlet macaws to spotted eagle rays, howler monkeys and hummingbirds.”

Belize & Guatemala
“A Belize and Guatemala small-ship cruise is your ticket to the natural wonders of these two countries. Cruise, kayak, paddle board, and snorkel the Barrier Reef. Go birding in the Las Escobas Tropical Rainforest Park. Discover local culture through food, song, stories and hikes through the jungles and savannahs of these Central American countries with coastlines along the beautiful Caribbean sea.”
7-night fares round-trip from Belize City range from $5,845 to $11,600 per person.

On Isla Floreana, paddle board alongside sea lions or stroll the white sand beaches as rays relax on the sea floor. Snorkel or kayak along Isla Isabela’s dramatic landscape of eroded tuff cones. Hike Isla Santa Cruz’s Dragon Hill, on keep on the look out for lounging land iguanas and maybe a flamingo or two. Visit the Charles Darwin Research Station for an inside peek at the conservation efforts of the giant tortoise.”
