November 2013 April 2015
Dear Adventurers, Un-Cruise Adventures introduces you to extraordinary experiences in wild and scenic places. As CEO and captain of the company, my time spent growing up on boats, living on boats, working on boats, and a world of travel adventures feed the Un-Cruise vision. A vision that is brought to life through the expertise of our crew and office team who are just as passionate as I am about providing unconventional adventures and going beyond your expectations. Providing true, meaningful travel, of course, requires a special relationshipone of mutual respect and appreciationwith one another, the wilderness, wildlife, and communities we encounter. It was in this spirit, and a resurgence of traditional Native values, that during the summer of 2013 I was adopted into an Alaskan Tlingit tribe. It was a humbling, life-giving event, but it also represents the heart within the experiences we hope to share with you. After all, time is precious, and what we do with it matters. Get comfortable as you turn through these pages and uncover what inspires the adventurer in you. New adventures in 2014 include an Active Adventure featuring exploration in the Olympic Wilderness and the San Juan Islands of Washington State; four unique Luxury Adventures in Mexicos Sea of Corts operating year-round; and Heritage Adventures sailing port-to-port full season in Alaska. Give us a call, visit our website and Facebook page, and discover something special. Choose to Un-Cruise!
Welcome Aboard!

Our onboard expedition and legacy leaders guide your way and the wildlife is always unleashed.

For those who take their adventure on the lighter side, you can enjoy riding in the skiff or chatting up the captain on the bridge. Whether you are looking for mild, moderate, or rigorous outdoor pursuits, or a more Zen wilderness experience, we offer activities to suit a variety of skill levels. We rank our hiking excursions with an activity level to ensure the right t: 1 Easy; 2 Moderate; 3 Challenging; 4 Strenuous; 5 Difcult.

Alaskas Inside Passage

Southeast Alaska & Glacier Bay National Park
Shaped by massive glaciers over millions of years, the temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska (also known as the Alaska Panhandle) reveals wildlife-rich fjords and spectacular scenery. Throughout history, its channels and waterways have served as important travel corridors for Native Tlingit, Tsimshian, and Haida peoples and Gold Rush era steamships. The Tongass National Forestthe largest in the U.S.is 16.8 million acres and constitutes the majority of area. The 3.3-million-acre Glacier Bay National Park was recognized in 1986 as a biosphere reserve, and in 1992, earned its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other features of the region include the Alexander Archipelago and Misty Fjords National Monument. Thoreau once wrote, We need the tonic of wildness... We can never have enough of nature. Today, receding glaciers reveal a landscape that has been covered with ice for tens of thousands of years and, depending on your itinerary, our expert teams guide you on a journey of adventurous activities, luxury in the pursuit of adventure, or on a revealing voyage of the regions telling past. Each adventure shares an abundance of naturebrown and black bears, wolf and deer, mountains and glaciers, humpback whales and orca, rainforests, bald eagles, and sea birds. Through time, explorers, authors, naturalists, captains, and visionaries have made discoveries in this unforgettable natural laboratorynow, you can too.
This trip was worth every cent! It was beyond my wildest dreams. Alaska is so beautiful! Thanks to the crew & Un-Cruise for making it a trip of a lifetime!

heart, Eliza Scidmorewriter, photographer, lecturer, geographerwas a maverick in her own right.

Therell be hikes on scenic backcountry trails, paddling along pristine waterways, and intertidal shore walks in a backdrop of natural splendor. Wildlife abounds in Behm Canalorca, porpoise, sea lions, brown and black bears, mink, marten, eagles, and otters. Keep watch for breaching whales in Frederick Sound. In port visits to Wrangell and Ketchikan, hear stories of Tlingit culture, view recently carved totems, and stroll down notorious Creek Street, once a red-light district in downtown Ketchikan.

In a land where everything is greatmountains, glaciers, wilderness, and wildlife, not to mention thousands of miles of coastlineone has to wonder what all the hubbub was about when U.S. Secretary of State William Seward instigated the purchase of Alaska from Russia. Unwavering in his effort, in March of 1867 it became Sewards most successful achievement. The purchase was mocked by the public as Sewards Folly, but rolling in his grave, he had the last laugh with the discovery of gold a mere 30 years later. Sail through the channel out of Juneau, and discover its greatness for yourself. Days 2-6

Lingering for wildlife during your three full days in the park, youll nd whales, sea lions, mountain goats, sea otters, bears, moose, eagles, brightly-colored pufns, Black Oystercatchers, and many other species of rare sea birds. With camera in hand, join the captain on the bridge or your expedition team out on deck and set your course for arguably the richest whale waters in Southeast Alaska. Ride the skiffs for a closer inspection of the rugged, wild shore with eyes set for possible bear sightings and anchor in remote waters for an opportunity to lower the kayaks and skiffs or enjoy an intertidal walk with your guides. adventurous, but un-perilous day, toast your voyage with a festive Farewell Dinner and a photo journal presentation by your expedition team.

AlasKas Inside passage Just think! Some night the stars will gleamand you could be sitting in
the hot tub beneath them. Back at the turn of the century, author and poet Robert Service didnt have a hot tub, but he did write that line about the stars. And after spending several years on the Alaska frontier, you can bet that hed seen a few. To be sure, hed seen and heard plentygripping yarns of the wild Northwest and the pursuit of the muck called gold. Falling in love with their stories, he became an armchair adventurer. Its time to pack your sense of adventure, and write your own.
Days 2-6
Pass by hundreds of cascading waterfalls and some of the largest icebergs in all of Alaska, then reach the glaciers at the end of a winding fjord, and its sure to cure whatever ails you. Poetic in every sense of the word, the wilderness surrounding Tracy Arm and Thomas Bay offer up some of the nest paddling, hiking, and legends in Southeast Alaska. Take it easy on a lush forest trail or intertidal shore walk, get down and dirty in the muskeg and mud, or go big on an 11-mile hike to a glacially-fed lake. Learn about Kushtakamythical shape-shifting creaturesand steer clear when exploring by kayak, paddle board, or skifng along shore. Legends and lore continue with totems and a sacred tribal house. The wild life is everywhere, but in Frederick Sound and along Behm Canal, itll likely take shape in the form of bears, wolves, harbor seals, sea lions, orca, and humpbacks. reminisce about your journey over a sumptuous dinner. Enjoy breakfast before disembarking for your transfer to the Ketchikan airport.

World Heritage Site & Biosphere Reserve
Just south of California lies an unrushed and uncrowded inland sea known as the Gulf of California, Vermilion Sea, Sea of Cortez, or Sea of Corts. A birders paradisethis rich archipelago serves as an important bird refuge and migration corridor. It is a place author John Steinbeck and marine biologist Ed Ricketts found ferocious with life and described by Jacques Cousteau as the worlds aquarium and the Galpagos of North America. We tend to agree. UNESCO even declared it a World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve, noting it as one of the most biologically diverse marine environments on Earth. These wildlife-rich waters and islands are home to both plants and animals found nowhere else. Each of our island-hopping Luxury Adventures in Mexicos Sea of Corts uncovers a world of breathtaking beauty and wildlifegiant and small lizards, sea turtles, boobies, pelicans, frigate birds, blue whales, gray whales, orca, humpback, pilot and n whales, dolphins, whale sharks, mantas, and sea lions. Kayak in coastal mangroves and in crystalline blue coves. Hike along dunes, cactus-clad ridges, and among desert scrub. Swim with playful sea lions, watch whales, and snorkel among colorful coral. And in a picturesque setting of red rock cliffs, discover a centuries-old town or relax on a white-sand beach. Explore this extraordinary place and discover rsthand how small the human presence here truly is.
Pam and I really enjoyed Baja. A few weeks prior to departure, I think my wife was having second thoughts about the itinerary, but after the whale watching, she was hooked. She said it was the best cruise we had ever been onwe have been on over 45.

HIS mind had no horizon, Steinbeck wrote of the character Doc in Cannery
Row, who he modeled after his close friend Ed Doc Rickettsmarine biologist, ecologist, and philosopher. Although often accredited to Steinbeck, it was the words of Ricketts, ferocious with life, that resonates so intensely in The Log From the Sea of Cortez, a telling of their 1940 expedition in the Sea of Corts which was based on Ricketts journal. Setting sail out of Guaymas, witness that same ferocity as you follow the northern path of their trip on your own expedition.

In search of a mythical land Spanish explorer Francisco de Ulloa was lost at sea when he first set eyes on this unknown body of water. It was 1539, and he called it the Vermilion Sea, a result of the billions of tiny microscopic organisms that gave the sea a red appearance. Commissioned by Hernn Corts, Ulloa circumnavigated the gulf and shortly after he returned home, began referring to it as the Sea of Corts in honor of his patron. Relive his voyage from the mouth of the gulf, to Mexicos northern mainland coast. Days 2-13

Hawaiian Islands
The Aloha State
Formerly known as the Sandwich Islandsas named by Captain Cook following his visit in 1778 this archipelago of volcanic islands and atolls sits at the center of the North Pacific Ocean marking the northeast corner of Polynesia. The island chain forms the largest marine sanctuary in the world and one of the worlds most important habitats for humpback whales. Two-thirds of the North Pacific population migrates to Hawaii each winter for breeding, calving, and nursing. We encounter many of these same humpbacks in Alaska where they feed during the summer months. On a Hawaiian Islands Un-Cruise Adventure, you can expect exhilarating days kayaking at the face of a cliff or through a lava hole, watching marine life gracefully leap or skirt around your skiff, and engaging and learning from the hearts of locals. When on board, youll explore remote shorelines, mostly staying on the leeward side of the eastern-most Hawaiian Islands chain, and theres ample time for relaxing on the upper deck, mingling in the lounge, or chatting up the captain on the bridge. Most all of our crew are from the islandsso they know the secrets and keep it authenticand uncover the islands natural gifts in a way only accessible on an Un-Cruise Adventure. Immerse yourself, and experience the islands from a different perspective.
All we can say is WOW! We have been to Hawaii multiple times, but until this week, we had barely scratched the surface. We have been to places where we have been served well, but not with the same friendliness and willingness. We loved every minute aboard the Safari Explorer, including all our bridge time and your whale enthusiasm. What a week!

Columbia & Snake Rivers

Legacies of Exploration & History
Roll on, Columbia, roll on. Embrace the American West spirit and encompass the dramatic contrast of stark natural beauty and hand-of-man achievements on this inclusive voyage. Forged by volcanic eruptions 40-60 million years ago and catastrophic floods near the end of the last ice-age, the basin has been inhabited by humans for over 15,000 years. Indigenous peoples had long been around when waves of pioneers arrived. Then industrialists came along to harness the mighty Columbia, and in 1943, the worlds first full-scale nuclear reactor was established at the Hanford Nuclear Reservationas part of the Manhattan Project. Today, the rivers dams produce more hydroelectric power than any other North American river. Imagine lashing down the wagon with all your earthly belongings and being among the rst to arrive, proving that families could go west by wheel. Nearly 40 years after the Corps of Discovery expedition of 1804, thousands were drawn west by cheap land, patriotism, or the promise of a better life. Well bring these events to life as you journey upriver aboard a replica coastal steamer. Travel nearly 1,000 milesdiscovering natural wonders, historical landmarks, and amazing human endeavors. Historians, guest experts, onboard living history vignettes, and visits ashore to museums, historic forts, and wineries carry you through time, sharing its varied history and how agriculture and engineering have shaped this vast region.
The crew was very engaging. Made us feel like part of the family. Food was out of this world. Thanks for making this cruise possible for us and showing us such a good time.

Choose from two Styles of Adventure in these coastal waters. On an Active Adventure youll stay within the boundaries of Washington State exploring the wilderness surrounding the Olympic Mountains; kayaking, hiking, and skifng among the San Juan Islands and in glacial fjords; seeking wildlife and uncovering Native cultures of the Pacic Northwest. Opt for an inclusive Luxury Adventure and youll sail into a yachters paradise on both sides of the borderwitness the stunning Princess Louisa Inlet, visit a charming seaside town and British-inuenced Victoria, enjoy High T ea in a garden, and take in natures wonders from a kayak or skiff. Whichever your choice, youll witness Mother Natures role in creating some of the most dramatic scenery along coastal Washington and British Columbia.
