HIGHLIGHTS

A sharp crack sounded – then, as if Mother Nature had timed it so on purpose, a section of glacier sheared off from its face. Cheers from on board echoed the thunder of ice tumbling into the water. This was the most astounding geology “lesson” anyone in our group had ever experienced — and in the most enthralling classroom we ever set foot in — Glacier Bay.

  • Explore parts of Glacier Bay National Park rarely seen by visitors as we explore the “Outback”
  • Hike and bike through Chichagof Island – UnCruise has the only permits in this area
  • Learn what it’s like to live and work in the wild country of Alaska
  • All day kayak and “yak-and-whack” opportunities
  • Full days – from morning birding to evening skiff tours and kayaks to an evening campfire ashore
  • Wildlife search – Humpback, orca, seals, bears, moose, puffins and other sea birds
  • LeConte and Baird Glaciers
  • Opportunities to hike, bike, kayak, paddle board, skiff, and bushwhack, all in one week
  • Access to South Baranof Wilderness, rarely visited
  • Get on land with an Ideal Cove hike

  1. Day 1 JUNEAU, ALASKA – Embark

    Board the Wilderness Legacy just in time for a welcome cocktail or glass of champagne before dinner. The captain and crew will introduce themselves and provide an overview of the adventure that awaits this week with a kick-off toast! (D)

    Arrive a day early for peace of mind and to avoid any flight issues. We can also arrange pre-cruise tours to other parts of Alaska.

  2. Day 2 The Brothers, Robert & Crow Islands: Skiff, Hikes, Whales

     

    Today, you will visit Robert and Crow Islands, offering everything from bushwhack hikes and shoreline walks to kayaking and possible snorkeling. Another option is the Brothers Islands, best explored by water, where skiff rides and paddles can bring you close to lively sea lion haul-outs. You will search for other types of wildlife throughout the day, including whales. (BLD)

  3. Day 3 LeConte Glacier

    Enjoy LeConte Glacier, noted as the southernmost tidewater glacier in the Northern Hemisphere, and an awe-inspiring landscape. Guests witness the glacier’s imposing beauty up close, a highlight of the Alaskan wilderness. Realize there are no mega ships at this most amazing glacier, as they are much too LARGE to enter the shallow entrance to this magical wilderness fjord. We will spend most of our day here, exploring by kayak or small boat. We may even have a chance to go ashore and frolic amongst icebergs stranded on the beach. (BLD)

  4. Day 4  Thomas Bay, Land of Kushtaka

    Mist hangs in the air. The soft exhale of a whale wakes you from your well-deserved slumber. The anchor drops into the milky blue waters of Thomas Bay as the summer sun cuts through the mist and the fog lifts. You hear it before you see it – a profound amount of water cuts through the forest in a series of waterfalls known as Cascade Creek. This is a favorite location for crew one of the very few accessible trails in Southeast Alaska. Not to be missed, we have a level of hiking challenge to suit any skill level. After your foray into the woods, head back to the Legacy for a hearty meal as the boat repositions to the other side of Thomas Bay for new adventures. Water access is unmatched here, a kayak to a salmon run or skiff tour in search of bears wraps up your day. (BLD)

  5. Day 5 Whale Watching & Kuiu Island

    The west side of Kuiu Island is our playground for the day. We’re in black-bear country now and Kuiu Island plays host to the densest population of the iconic species on the planet. Tucked into a Bay, the waters are calm and filled with the smallest marine mammal on earth – the sea otter. Rafts of otters float by – unperturbed by our presence, and about as cute as one might imagine them to be. Humpback whales patrol the reefs in search of schools of herring – resident bubble-netters are a rare and exciting sight. The cold, nutrient rich waters provide opportunity not just for above-water activities. Try your hand at a snorkel (we have the warmest wetsuits known to man, fear not) and unlock an entire universe of discovery as you peruse the most diverse population of sea-stars on earth – a surprise to many who visit this place. For just a moment, the cold water is forgotten as you’re transported into what can only be described as a “cold water tropical reef. The Pacific transforms into the wildest touch-tank you can imagine. (BLD)

  6. Day 6 Brown Bear Search Near the Shores of Chichagof Island

    Seek out the elusive Coastal Brown Bear along this rugged coastline. The East side of Chichagof Island includes three specific areas that have exceptionally good opportunities for sighting these wonderful creatures. Your Captain will use his knowledge to put you in the best spot, which

  7. Day 7 Glacier Bay National Park's Rarely Visited Outer Bay

    This national park covers 3.3 million acres (that’s a tad smaller than the state of Connecticut). Let that sink in. Most visitors see the same sliver of the park as everyone else. Not you. You’re going the furthest and exploring parts that 99% of visitors never go to. Hike the outwash field of glaciers winding down the Fairweather Mountain Range. The cool breeze off the nearby snow and icefields is energizing. As the day winds down, it’s time for Captain’s Dinner. But that’s not all – you’ll also get to watch a slideshow of all the amazing things you’ve done this week. (BLD)

  8. Day 8 JUNEAU

    Enjoy one last breakfast before transferring to the Juneau airport or your extended stay.

    We can arrange itineraries throughout Alaska for you.

WILDERNESS LEGACY

WILDERNESS LEGACY

The Wilderness Legacy is geared up and ready for adventure. The one-of-a-kind Legacy sails to the farthest reaches, spinning yarns of adventure along the way – like the crew and guests having the time of their lives. Notable features of this one-of-a-kind vessel include beautiful carved wooden cabinetry, a spacious Owner’s Suite, and the Sea Dragon (a portable launch platform for kayaks and paddle boards). She is ready for exploration, and has the most spacious viewing decks in the fleet. Wherever she sails she announces her arrival with the blow of a whistle.

Four decks are ready for guests’ comfort and adventure. The bridge deck provides room for sunning, two hot tubs, and the open bridge, as well as the highest of the bow viewing areas wrapping around the front. The upper deck provides the middle bow viewing area. The lounge deck provides the luxurious indoor lounge and bar as well as the largest of the three bow viewing areas. Downstairs on the main deck guests enjoy gourmet meals in the elegant dining room.

The Lounge is the largest of the Alaska fleet, with plenty of room for spotting wildlife, sharing photos, and playing chess – all with a cocktail or soda from the bar.

The Dining Room features open seating at set times. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served plated at table. Unlimited beverages. alcoholic and non, are included in the price of the cruise. Vegetarian options are always available. Dietary restrictions are happily accommodated with advanced notice.

Onboard Features: Custom made sea dragon kayak launch platform; bow-mounted underwater camera; kayaks, paddleboards, inflatable skiffs, hiking poles; on-deck hot tub; fitness equipment and yoga mats; DVD and book library. Legacy is the only boat in the fleet to offer an elevator. This elevator does not reach the bridge deck. While this makes her a comfortable choice for guests with mobility concerns, guests must still be able to embark and disembark via gangway and climb one flight of stairs. Explorer cabin 309 features a short ramp over the lip to get into the cabin and grab bars in the bathroom, but it is not ADA accessible.
