We are honored to share that UnCruise Adventures has been named Best in Alaska—Expedition Category by Cruise Critic in the 2024 Best in Cruise Awards.

“For those looking to hike Alaska’s old-growth forests and kayak to the edge of a glacier, UnCruise is the undisputed leader in the region,” notes Cruise Critic. “Ships visit spots that you won’t see cruising with anyone else, led by guides who impart knowledge with humor and enthusiasm that’s contagious.”

This award—alongside our recent Conde Nast Traveler, Newsweek, Seattle Times, and USA Today 10Best recognitions—affirms our mission to create meaningful, off-the-beaten-path adventures that foster a true connection to Alaska. We're thrilled to be the most awarded cruise company in Alaska.

“Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono”—“The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness”

As we begin our season in Hawai‘i during National Native American Heritage Month, we honor the rich traditions of Indigenous cultures, including the Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian people), and their deep connection to the land and sea. This November also marks the start of Makahiki season, a sacred time of peace, gratitude, and renewal dedicated to Lono, the god of fertility and agriculture. Our gratitude guides our commitment to sustainable tourism and respectful travel. By visiting culturally significant places like Moloka‘i and the marine sanctuaries of Maui Nui, we aim to celebrate Hawai‘i’s vibrant spirit while leaving only a little imprint compared to mass tourism.

Join us in embracing a season of gratitude and renewal.

“This has often led me to think that our steps are in the same path, as blind as any who have gone before us, though each in turn leaves his footsteps on the sands of time," Longfellow wrote.
