UnCruise Family Expeditions – the Most Unique Educational Experience

For all the adventures we’ve had, there have been none that compare with sailing on a family expedition with UnCruise. Small ships and unforgettable experiences in amazing places. Here’s the scoop on getting Kids in Nature and exploring with UnCruise.

We are ambassadors for UnCruise and are proud to partner with them. Our partnership includes sharing our experiences traveling via small ship and writing about our adventures for our travel partner’s website as well.

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.

Kids in Nature – Family UnCruise Sailings

Family trips are special. We do them many times each year and they’re always different. Whether it’s a road trip to National Parks or kayaking through our local islands, getting kids into nature is at the hearth of what we do as a family. UnCruise has a special plan to get Kids in Nature: small ship family sailings!
