Heads up, Aurora chasers!

Tonight, a rare geomagnetic storm may light up skies across 10 states with the stunning Northern Lights. While we're not currently cruising Alaska's waters, early spring sailings are just around the corner—while it is still very rare to see the Northern Lights, early spring is your best bet to catch nature's most mesmerizing show aboard an UnCruise Adventure.

Have you ever witnessed the Aurora Borealis in person with us? Share your experience or tag who you'd bring along for this bucket-list moment!

3.14 Reasons to Love UnCruise Adventures on Pi Day!

1️⃣ Off-the-charts adventure – We explore wild places where the only crowds are sea lions and the only traffic jam is a pod of dolphins. No cookie-cutter routes, just pure, unscripted exploration.

2️⃣ Handcrafted experiences – Like the perfect pizza dough, our itineraries are made from scratch, thoughtfully designed for travelers who crave something unique and off the beaten path.

3️⃣ Unexpected delights – From a surprise whale breach to a midnight kayak under the stars, the best moments—like the best toppings—are the ones you didn’t see coming.
14️⃣ The golden ratio of travel – Small ships, big adventure, and just the right balance of thrill, relaxation, and immersive experiences to make every journey unforgettable.

And because it’s Pi Day... we believe every adventure (and every pizza or sweet piece of dessert) should have the perfect balance, just the right mix of thrill, relaxation, and a whole lot of delicious moments along the way.

In a maritime industry historically dominated by men, UnCruise Adventures is proudly charting a new course this . We’re thrilled that three of our ten captains are women (a number expected to increase as we move to the height of our season in Alaska), and we have seven female bridge officers on our team leading the way. These trailblazing women prove that adventure knows no gender and inspire the next generation of women at sea.

At UnCruise Adventures, supporting women in leadership roles is a core part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion. We believe diverse voices on the bridge lead to richer voyages and more daring explorations for every guest on board. Join us in celebrating these remarkable women and all they’ve achieved. Here's to breaking waves and charting new horizons! Come explore with UnCruise and be part of the adventure.

This International Women’s Day, explore the inspiring stories of pioneering women in Alaska and Hawaii, too, through our latest blogs: "Pioneering Women of Hawaii" and

Yesterday marked World Wildlife Day, but at UnCruise Adventures, we believe every day is an opportunity to protect and celebrate the incredible creatures that share our planet. From breaching whales in Alaska to playful sea lions in Baja, our small-ship adventures bring you face-to-face with wildlife while ensuring that our impact remains minimal and responsible.

This year’s theme, "Wildlife Conservation Finance: Investing in People and Planet," reminds us that protecting nature isn’t just about saving animals—it’s about preserving entire ecosystems that sustain life, including our own. Conservation success stories, like the rebound of humpback whales and sea turtles, show that with commitment and sustainable action, we can make a difference.
