Seven boats sail Active, Luxury and Heritage Adventures in Southeast Alaska
Seattle, WA, Sept 26, 2012 – InnerSea Discoveries + American Safari Cruises unveils an expanded schedule of adventure cruises in Alaska
for summer 2013 with three expedition boats and four upscale yachts,
including the new-to-the-fleet Safari Legacy. Guests may choose an
Active Adventure aboard the expedition boats or a Luxury or Heritage
Adventure aboard the yachts.
From May to September, seven boats sail 11 different itineraries from 7- to 21-nights long. Alaska homeports include Ketchikan, Juneau and Sitka.
Joining the fleet in August 2013, the 88-guest Safari Legacy
will sail two 11-night cruises between Seattle, WA and Juneau, AK. The
boat introduces a new style of Un-Cruise Adventure called Heritage
Adventure with port calls and a focus on discovering gold rush history
and culture of the Inside Passage.
“With the addition of
Heritage Adventures, we now offer three Un-Cruise styles of adventure in
Alaska,” said Tim Jacox, executive vice president of sales and
marketing. “Whether on an Active, Luxury or Heritage Adventure, guests
will experience eye-to-eye wildlife and one-on-one culture.”
Active Adventures
From May 4 through September 14, InnerSea Discoveries’ expedition boats offer weeklong Active Adventures in Alaska sailing between Ketchikan and Juneau (and reverse) or Juneau and Sitka (and reverse). With three different itineraries, Un-Cruises may now be combined into 14-night or 21-night adventures. Rates begin at US$1,895 per person based on double occupancy. In May and September, 14-night expeditions between Seattle and Juneau (and reverse) are available with rates starting at US$3,495 per person based on double occupancy.

InnerSea Discoveries’
three expedition boats—Wilderness Discoverer, Wilderness Adventurer,
Wilderness Explorer—carry 60-76 guests and offer Active Adventures
in Southeast Alaska. Un-Cruise Adventures specialize in rare up close
explorations of nature and wildlife in remote wilderness areas.
Kayaking, hiking, stand-up paddle boarding, skiff explorations and whale
watching are top activities.
New in 2013, the
Wilderness Adventurer hosts three Alaska Unleashed cruises with guest
capacity reduced from 60 to 36 guests for high-gear adventures. Sailing
between Ketchikan and Juneau (and reverse), the itinerary promises
longer and more exhilarating hiking and kayaking adventures in daily
small-group excursions.
Luxury Adventures
Three yachts—22-guest Safari Quest, 36-guest Safari Explorer, 86-guest Safari Endeavour—sail weeklong, inclusive Luxury Adventures
roundtrip Juneau from May 24 through September 8, 2013. The yachts
forego port calls and instead explore remote wilderness areas to
maximize time for up close encounters with nature and wildlife. Two days
are spent exploring inside Glacier Bay National Park with a park ranger
on hiking, kayaking and skiff excursions. Rates begin at $4,195 per
person based on double occupancy. Longer 14-night voyages between
Seattle and Juneau (and reverse) sail in May, August and September.
Rates begin at US$6,095 per person.
Heritage Adventures
The
88-guest Safari Legacy joins the yacht fleet in August and will sail
two 11-night Gold Rush Legacy cruises between Seattle and Juneau, AK
(and reverse) on August 11 and August 22. The replica Victorian steamer
features a Heritage Adventure program
combining on board presentations with tours ashore—all coordinated by
on board Legacy Leaders. Stories and characters from the past are
brought to life through educational presentations, expert guest speakers
and character reenactments. The Safari Legacy calls on historic ports
along the route and includes a tour in each town.
Guided visits to museums and historical sites provide another view into the past and a chance to visit with local people and historians. Rates for the inclusive Un-Cruise start at US$7,895 per person, double occupancy. In 2014 the Safari Legacy will operate a full slate of weeklong Living History voyages between Ketchikan and Juneau punctuated by included historic tours in Skagway, Haines, Sitka, Petersburg and Wrangell.
