Inviting, and oh-so cared for by her crew, the Wilderness Discoverer delivers big adventure with fine finishing touches. Wild, remote, and at the edges of the map, she carries a bit of Alaska wherever she sails—the beautiful bar top and tap tower are made from a yellow cedar log found in Peril Strait. But looks aside, she doesn’t hold back when it comes to exploration. Her shoal draft allows access to waters that are off-limits to bigger boats, where she can slip right in. An instigator of action, she was the first “Wilderness” boat in the family and set us on a path toward greater adventures that you’ll experience, too.

The Lounge has a GPS map for you to monitor the ship’s location throughout your voyage, The lounge also has a limited library, filled with wildlife encyclopedias, Alaska guidebooks, and some light reads. Guests can buy hiking gear, knit caps, and T-shirts, with and without the logo of UnCruise Adventures. Binoculars are available for wildlife-spotting.

The dining room features open seating where meals will be served at set times throughout the day. Unlimited beverages, alcoholic and non, are included in the price of the cruise. Vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options are always available, and dietary restrictions are happily accommodated if noted in advance.
