It returns to Alaska after 26 months out of service with a fresh new look, including a stunning new green haul (to be matchy-matchy with the rest of the wilderness-loving fleet), plus a modern re-design of the lounge and interior upgrades including new ceiling tiles.
There’s still space left this summer in Alaska and on the Columbia and Snake rivers too.

And looking ahead, family fun in Hawaii during the winter holidays sounds like an awesome plan, as do adventures in Costa Rica, Panama and Belize during the fall and winter breaks.
To see what your options are, here’s a look at where the adventurous UnCruise fleet is heading to for the rest of 2022 and into 2023.
