What is an UnCruise Sailing Experience?
UnCruise is the pairing of small ship sailing with educational adventures. It’s exploring unique destinations with guides who are deeply connected and knowledgeable. UnCruise is not a cruise like you might think, but much more of an expedition with luxury tied in.

Our Own UnCruise Small Ship Sailing Adventures
Our first small ship sailing adventure happened in February 2024 in Hawaii on the Safari Explorer. Parents and kids, island hopping, snorkeling with manta rays, seeing whales, HAWAII. It was incredible. Get ready for a lot of info, awesome photos and great stories!
SAILED JUNE 2024 – Alaskan small ship sailing out of Juneau on the Wilderness Legacy to explore Alaska’s Inside Passage, Glacier Bay National Park and more. It was a week of kayaking, bushwhacking, wildlife watching and beach bonfires. This sailing was specifically a Kids in Nature sailing, so there were more families and extra options for the kids to spend time together, learning about Alaska’s amazing nature. We enjoyed Juneau, Alaska before and after our UnCruise, so there were highlights from the start until we headed to mainland AK.

Hawaiian Seascapes – Sailing from the Big Island to Molokai
Sailed February 2024 – We have had some incredible adventures in Hawaii over the years, so sailing with UnCruise and seeing a completely different side of the Islands was an amazing opportunity. We sailed from Hawaii (Big Island), to Maui, then around Molokai and Lana’i, and ended on Molokai. The views, the wildlife, the crew and the fellow passengers were are remarkable.
