Eight vessels sail Active, Luxury and Heritage Adventure cruises
Seattle — Un-Cruise Adventures’
expanding fleet offers more departures and a larger variety of cruise
itineraries in 2014 than any previous year.
Eight vessels carrying
22-88 guests specialize in small-group adventure cruises in Alaska,
Hawaiian Islands, Mexico’s Sea of Cortés, Columbia & Snake Rivers
and Coastal Washington & British Columbia.
A
new all Washington itinerary, the addition of an eighth vessel to sail
year-round in Mexico, and new Heritage Adventures in Alaska and on the
Columbia and Snake Rivers significantly increases the line’s offerings
in 2014.
Mexico’s Sea of Cortés

the fleet in December 2013, the renovated 64-guest Safari Voyager will
sail Luxury Adventures year-round in Mexico’s Sea of Cortés on four
different itineraries—all new. A week-long Cousteau’s Aquarium of the World

ports—Loreto and La Paz—with an emphasis on encountering whale sharks.
A
week-long Baja’s Whale Bounty

watching takes place at Gordo Banks and encounters with blue, pilot, fin
and other whale species add to the bounty. Milagros Maritimos de Baja California is a week-long

along the mainland’s Pacific coast. A two-week expedition, Isla Esencial: Baja California Sur y Norte, sails between San José del Cabo and Guaymas (and reverse) twice a year.
