Wilderness Adventurer

Unfussy yet full of character, the Wilderness Adventurer is tailor-made for travellers who want to get closer to Alaska. With space for just 60 guests, this 160-foot vessel feels more like a floating basecamp than a cruise ship. Three open decks offer room to breathe, from the bow’s wildlife-watching perch to the top-deck hot tub and yoga mats.

The focus is firmly on exploration – expect to kayak alongside glaciers, paddleboard through quiet coves or watch marine life from a Zodiac. Back onboard, meals are sociable and hearty, with buffet breakfasts and three-course dinners made from local ingredients. All cabins include ensuite bathrooms, heated gear storage and picture windows, while Pathfinder and Trailblazer rooms on the upper decks offer elevated views.

There’s little Wi-Fi when you’re off-grid – and that’s the point. This is Alaska up close, guided by expert naturalists and shaped by the elements.

 

About UnCruise

UnCruise offer something truly different from our other Alaska partners: small-ship expedition cruising with a wild heart and an adventurous edge. Its nimble fleet – yachts and expedition vessels carrying between 22 and 86 guests – slips into secluded bays and channels that larger ships can’t reach, from the icy fjords of Alaska to the untouched corners of the Pacific Northwest.

Each day is built around immersive exploration. Guided hikes, kayaking, paddleboarding and wildlife watching are all included, as are premium drinks and chef-prepared meals showcasing regional ingredients. Morning briefings set the tone, while evenings often end with storytelling by the fire or stargazing from deck. Cabins are compact but considered, with large windows and practical comforts.

There’s no Wi-Fi in the wilderness – but when you’re spotting whales off the bow or watching bears onshore, you won’t miss it. A multi-award-winning cruise line, UnCruise consistently earns recognition for its authenticity, environmental ethos and attention to detail. For those who seek genuine, off-the-grid discovery without compromising on hospitality, this is expedition travel at its most intimate.
