Un-Cruise Adventures Adds Two Theme Cruises to Active Adventure
Expeditions in Alaska
-
Seattle, WA – Un-Cruise Adventures
has added two theme cruises on Active Adventure sailings in Southeast
Alaska this summer. The 60-guest Wilderness Adventurer welcomes guest
experts on board for a photography theme on June 8 and an Alaska Insider
theme on July 13.
“Our guest experts offer
additional insights to complement our own expedition team and adventure
activities,” said Tim Jacox, executive vice president of sales and
marketing. “It’s an added benefit for sailing on these two dates.”
On the June 8, 2013 Eastern Coves adventure,
nature photographer and author Amy Gulick joins the trip to share
photography tips, lessons and techniques she’s learned over the years as
an award-winning photographer and writer. Gulick is a founding Fellow
of the International League of Conservation Photographers and her images
have been featured in premium publications such as Outdoor
Photographer, Audubon, National Wildlife and Nature’s Best Photography.
Guests will receive an autographed copy of her book “Salmon in the
Trees: Life in Alaska’s Tongass Rain Forest.”
The weeklong Eastern Coves itinerary
sails from Juneau to Ketchikan, Alaska while adventuring through Tracy
Arm Wilderness, Frederick Sound, Thomas Bay, Behm Canal, Misty Fjords
National Monument and a half-day port call in Wrangell, one of Alaska’s
oldest towns. Rates on this date begin at $3,195 per person, double
occupancy. A $200 per person travel credit is offered.
On the July 13, 2013 Western Coves adventure,
longtime Alaska residents John and Jan Straley board for a week of
storytelling—fact and fiction—on all things Alaska and insights on
humpback and killer whales. John, a poet and author of detective
fiction, has won awards over the years for his novels set in Alaska.
John has worked as a secretary, horseshoer, wilderness guide, trail crew
foreman, millworker, machinist, and private investigator. Jan Straley, a
marine biologist, is well-known for her extensive studies of humpback
and killer whales. She is assistant Professor of Biology at the
University of Alaska Southeast and affiliate faculty at University of
Alaska Fairbanks, School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences.
The weeklong Western Coves itinerary
sails from Ketchikan to Juneau, Alaska and explores wilderness areas
including El Capitan Passage, Chatham Strait, Frederick Sound, Stephen’s
Passage, Endicott Arm and Fords Terror, and a half-day port call at the
Tlingit village of Klawock. Rates on this date begin at $3,195.
Both Active Adventure
sailings include wildlife and whale watching, kayaking, hiking, skiff
excursions exploring the coastline, glacier viewing, stand up paddle
boarding and a guided tour in Klawock or Wrangell. Snorkeling and
overnight camping ashore are available for a fee.
Un-Cruise Adventures also
recently confirmed six theme departures on Luxury Adventures aboard the
86-guest Safari Endeavour in Alaska. Themes include photography, marine
biology, ornithology and wine from two prominent Northwest wineries.
