For most people, the idea of a cruise is an attractive vacation option in theory — but it can have several downsides. Some travelers don’t relish the idea of sharing their vacation with thousands of other people. Others want to avoid getting the same pre-packaged, generic trip that’s available to scores of other travelers. They don’t want to wait in line for meals and don’t enjoy being shuffled on and off the boat with loads of people every day.
But cruises also offer a great way to take the stress out of planning a trip and traveling by boat is an attractive option for a lot of people.
That’s where a company called Uncruise Adventures comes in. Uncruise has everything you love about a cruise — the lack of planning needed, the ability to travel by boat — and eliminates all the unpleasantness of cruising on a massive ship.
Uncruise uses only small ships, so the passenger size is welcoming rather than overwhelming. The smaller ships can navigate to smaller ports, so your trip isn’t going to be shared with the throngs. Uncruise offers meals that use local ingredients and excursions are adventure-based rather than pre-packaged.
The company currently offers a growing portfolio of trips, including in Alaska, Costa Rica, Hawai’i, the Pacific Northwest, the Galapagos and more.
