Seattle, WA, June 5, 2013— Un-Cruise Adventures announced its deployment plans today for the 2014 Alaska cruise

“2014
marks our largest, most diverse season in Alaska yet with more
departures than any previous year,” said Dan Blanchard, CEO and
principal for Un-Cruise Adventures.
“Our three adventure styles—Active,
Luxury and Heritage—offer more choices, but they all give you the
awe-inspiring nature and wildlife of Alaska up close, personal, and
unforgettable.”
The
88-guest S.S. Legacy joins the fleet in Alaska for its first season of
weeklong Heritage Adventures between Juneau and Ketchikan, Alaska with
10 departures scheduled from June 15 through August 17. An Alaska’s

National Park, Haines and Skagway; Frederick Sound and Icy Strait are
prime whale watching territory. A 11-night Gold Rush Legacy cruise
between Seattle and Juneau (and reverse) will be offered in June and
August.
The
replica coastal steamer harkens back to the gold rush days of ’98 with
period décor, old world charm and a rollicking saloon. History of the
Klondike Gold Rush comes alive through on board presentations, crew in
period costumes and character reenactments led by the vessel’s Legacy
Leader. In port, guests enjoy included guided tours to historical
points of interest. Heritage Adventures begin at US$5,195 per person,
