Best UnCruise Alaska Cruises
The Alaska season is upon us!
Time to dive into UnCruise’s version of Alaska — active and curious cruise adventures that are all about exploring and serendipity.
Commune with Alaska’s natural bounty while hiking, kayaking and just “being present” with the majestic forests, calving glaciers, breaching whales and sheer awe-inspiring beauty of this unspoiled part of the world.
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.
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.

No matter when you choose to go, no one does Alaska better than UnCruise.
