Cruise Ships in Alaska : Wilderness Discoverer

UnCruise's small expedition ships are capable of nimble exploration through nature’s most dramatic scenery. The shallow draft and hull design allow easy access to southeast Alaska’s wildlife-rich shores and glacially fed inlets and serve as ideal launching pads for an exciting array of daily adventure activities. A fully equipped fishing boat travels with each small ship and kayaks, dry suits, snorkelling gear and fishing rods are available on board. Wilderness Discoverer can accommodate a maximum of 76 guests with a total crew of 28. Each cabin has a private bathroom, television, iPod dock, and has binoculars, walking poles and day packs available for your use.

The interior spaces offer contemporary colours and brushed metals that complement the wilderness outside and both the public and private spaces are loaded with special amenities. In addition to the dining room and bar, there is a library on board, and educational programmes are offered most evenings, conducted by on-board naturalists.

A small ship cruise such as this enables you to be very much at one with this breathtaking natural environment and a wide range of activities are available, catering for a variety of fitness levels. These include kayaking among icebergs, hiking along remote wilderness trails, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling, observing whales and other marine wildlife from inflatable boats, birdwatching, and glacier walks. Other optional activities are available too, for a supplement.
