...we were just blown away by everything that UnCruise had to offer - they were amazing. We really did have everything that we needed on the ship. The food was excellent and so varied, the staff were like a group of friends on board ship who worked hard, yet were so professional. Expedition leaders were fountains of knowledge and just great to be with.

"I took about 1,400 photos and videos... It’s hard to find words (to describe the trip) – amazing, fantastic just don’t do it justice!" Andy - travelled through the Galapagos Islands on the San Jose, 2017
"Cruise was excellent. It went to all the places I wanted to see and scheduled enough time for sightseeing and for leisure. Swimming off the boat near deserted islands was a highlight.
