To most people, the word ‘cruising’
conjures up images of large ocean
going ships, captain’s cocktail
parties and black tie dinners. In this
section of our brochure, we aim
to dispel that stereotypical image
and introduce you to a variety of
different types of cruising. From
small ship adventure sailing to
legacy cruising, paddlewheeler
river journeys, luxury cruising and
transatlantic voyages, we’re sure
that even if you’ve never considered
cruising before, you’ll find
something here to interest you.
Cruising
LUXURY CRUISING
Many describe cruise ships as hotels-at-sea,
because of the plethora of activities, facilities and
entertainment on offer. Cruising is understandably
very popular, which is in part due to the wide range
of ships available; in essence something for everyone.
Standing above the crowd are Silversea and Regent
Seven Seas Cruises. Offering the ultimate luxurious
ocean experience, both cruise lines offer all-suite
ships, exceptional service and incredible facilities.
RIVER CRUISING
River cruising opens up numerous possibilities, with
countless ports of call to explore as you travel along at
a leisurely pace and enjoy the slowly passing scenery.
Our favourite vessels are the paddlewheelers which
combine magnificently restored historic vessels
with exciting itineraries along the Mississippi, Ohio,
Tennessee, Columbia and Snake Rivers.
LEGACY CRUISING
Sometimes cruising isn’t about the ports of call
but the ship you’re travelling on. That’s certainly
the case when it comes to Queen Mary 2, Queen
Elizabeth and Queen Victoria. With their richly
woven heritage of grandeur and unashamed luxury,
a transatlantic crossing or a destination cruise is an
opulent experience reminiscent of a bygone era,
recalling the golden age of ocean travel.
ADVENTURE CRUISING
Taking an adventure cruise allows you to be at one
with nature. The small, nimble ships, can access
some of the most intricate bays and passages to get
you closer to shore and witness spectacular sights
up close. The flexibility of not being tied to an
exacting schedule means that days revolve around
nature with the captain able to drop anchor if bears
are spotted on shore or drift to locations where
whales are known to frequent. UnCruise Adventures
offer a number of enticing itineraries in Alaska,
Hawaii, Mexico and the Pacific Northwest.
