Seattle, WA, January 27, 2015—Whether
it’s a new angle on the history of a destination or learning the right
settings for photography, hobbyists and experts alike have seven theme
cruise topics to choose from on select small ship cruises with Un-Cruise Adventures in 2015. Theme cruises explore Mexico’s Sea of Cortés, Alaska, coastal Washington and the Columbia & Snake Rivers.
Un-Cruise
Adventures’ fleet of boutique yachts and small ships carry 22-88 guests
on adventure and river cruises lasting one week to 21 nights. All
adventure activities and shore excursions are included. For theme
cruise departures, a guest expert joins the cruise for a week of special
presentations and hands-on learning opportunities.
“We
invite specialists on board to add another element to the week’s
adventure,” said Captain Dan Blanchard, CEO. “Since our vessels are
intimate with less than 90 guests on board, you’ll have time to meet and
talk to the photographer or marine biologist. Nothing is taken away
from our regular programming; we’re adding to it.”
