Seattle, WA, May
21, 2013— Un-Cruise Adventures’
expanding fleet offers more departures and a larger variety of cruise
itineraries in 2014 than any previous year. Eight vessels carrying 22-88 guests
specialize in small-group adventure cruises in Alaska, Hawaiian Islands,
Mexico’s Sea of Cortés, Columbia & Snake Rivers and Coastal Washington &
British Columbia.
A new all
Washington itinerary, the addition of an eighth vessel to sail year-round in
Mexico, and new Heritage Adventures in Alaska and on the Columbia and Snake
Rivers significantly increases the line’s offerings in 2014.
“We have a passion
for exploring the world on small group adventures,” said Dan Blanchard, CEO and
principal for Un-Cruise Adventures. “Our itineraries pull together the natural
beauty, wildlife, culture and history of a destination in unforgettable
ways.”
