60-guest Wilderness Adventurer sails roundtrip Seattle
Seattle, WA –Outdoor adventure and beer lovers unite for a one-week brouhaha on Un-Cruise Adventures’ craft beer theme cruise on its new itinerary, Explore! Olympic Wilderness & San Juan Islands.
The 60-guest Wilderness Adventurer expedition vessel explores
Washington’s Puget Sound and Salish Sea from South Hood Canal to Olympic
National Park and the San Juan Islands.
The
craft beer theme cruise sails roundtrip Seattle departing May 3, 2014.
The Active Adventure cruise includes all meals, beer tastings,
transfers, adventure activities, hot tub, sauna and yoga on deck. Rates
begin at $1,895 per person, double occupancy.
“Exploring
the Puget Sound area by boat lets us access scenic areas for kayaking
and hiking without traveling too far each day,” said Captain Dan
Blanchard, CEO. “Adding in craft beer tastings for those who are
interested adds a little extra hoppiness to the week.”
The craft beer theme cruise
features guest experts Kendall Jones and Kim Sharpe Jones, authorities
on the Seattle craft beer scene and media partners for the Washington
Beer Commission. An exclusive WAVE ale, named after the boat’s
nickname, brewed by the Jones’ with Schooner Exact Brewing Company will
be on tap.
Guests will enjoy nightly happy hour tastings of select craft
beer from nearby breweries, presentations by the Jones’ and beer
recommendations matching the evening’s dinner menu. A brewery tour and
tasting will be offered at both Port Townsend Brewing and Island Hoppin
Brewery on Orcas Island. A Sucia Island beach bonfire on the last
night sets the stage for a session on Beach Beers and the virtues of
craft beer in aluminum cans.
Highlights
of the itinerary include hiking in Olympic National Park, Mt.
Constitution and Washington State Parks. Waterborne expeditions by
kayaks, skiffs and paddle boards explore glacial fjords and the San Juan
archipelago. In Quilcene Bay, a local family hosts a home-grown oyster
and clam tasting. Guests enjoy free time in scenic Friday Harbor and
discover Native cultures in Port Townsend.
Travelers
spend the week searching out and seeing marine life and seabirds up
close. Gray whales, orcas, seals, sea lions and bald eagles are all
found in the area. A knowledgeable team of expedition guides leads
excursions and provides interpretation along the way. Guests enjoy a
full complement of adventure gear for kayaking, stand-up paddle
boarding, hiking and skiff excursions. A custom made kayak launch
platform allows four kayaks at once to quickly and safely launch off a
stable platform.
After
a full day of adventure, guests may enjoy a soak in the hot tub. Yoga
classes take place on deck each morning. The vessel has fitness
equipment, a resource/DVD library and massage is available for a fee.
An underwater camera mounted on the ship’s bow streams video from the
underwater world to flatscreen televisions in all guest rooms and the
lounge. Healthy and hearty meals feature fresh ingredients including
locally sourced produce and seafood.
Charters
and group incentives are available. To book or to request additional
