Name change consolidates line’s adventure styles
Seattle, WA, January 8, 2013 –Marking another milestone in its 16
year evolution, adventure cruise line InnerSea Discoveries/American
Safari Cruises has officially changed its name to Un-Cruise Adventures.
The line operates seven boats carrying 22-88 guests in Alaska, Hawaii,
Mexico’s Sea of Cortés, Columbia and Snake Rivers and Coastal Washington
and British Columbia.
“We’ve experienced
phenomenal growth and success over the last four years,” said Dan
Blanchard, principal and CEO. “What began as yacht cruising under the
American Safari Cruises name has now expanded to include more styles of
Un-Cruise Adventures, and this name change reflects that growth.”
The company has three yachts offering Luxury Adventures—22-guest
Safari Quest, 36-guest Safari Explorer and 86-guest Safari Endeavour—an
inclusive, upscale experience along with adventure activities. The
88-guest Safari Legacy, a replica Victorian steamer, debuts in August
2013 and will offer inclusive Heritage Adventures
focusing on Living History aboard and ashore through presentations and
tours. Three expedition vessels—60-guest Wilderness Adventurer, 76-guest
Wilderness Discoverer and 76-guest Wilderness Explorer—offer Active Adventures for those desiring more outdoor explorations at a lower price point. Charter Adventures are also offered on all boats.
“Un-Cruise Adventures
reflects the distinct nature of our small group travel by boat,” said
Tim Jacox, executive vice president of sales and marketing. “Luxury of
Experience really speaks to what Un-Cruise Adventures is all about.
With a cap of 88 guests, we are able to experience more of the
destinations through a wide range of activities – kayaking, paddle
boarding, snorkeling and hiking under our Luxury and Active Adventures
or reenacting history with Heritage Adventures.”
New in 2013
In
2013, the 88-guest Safari Legacy begins operating in Alaska and then
sails on the Columbia and Snake Rivers in fall and spring. It debuts
Heritage Adventures—a new style of Un-Cruise Adventure with a focus on
Living History aboard and ashore. In November 2013, the Wilderness
Explorer will begin sailing Active Adventures in the Hawaiian Islands
between Oahu and Hawaii, the Big Island. And three Alaska Unleashed
departures are scheduled for the Wilderness Adventurer in Alaska for
adventurers desiring an amped up week of high adventure.
Moving forward, all
company materials will change to reflect the new name of Un-Cruise
Adventures. The company’s website URL will change to un-cruise.com.
