Safari Voyager
This laid-back, 62-guest ship from UnCruise Adventures focuses more on nature than almost anyone else at sea. A typical day during a Northern Gulf of California Adventure in Baja, Mexico consists of kayaking or paddle boarding off the back of the ship, or taking an inflatable skiff out to watch for wildlife while onboard experts weigh in. And even though the emphasis here is on the nature and not onboard entertainment, you might find yourself lounging on the sun deck, cozying up in the library, or grabbing a drink at the bar. Best of all, these spaces look newly refreshed as the ship was almost entirely rebuilt in 2016.
What We Love
All-Inclusive Excursions: There is no extra charge for any of the excursions on offer, from kayaking to hiking to snorkeling, so you can do as many as you like without incurring extra fees.
Best Known For
Active Adventures: Safari Voyager's fleet of inflatable skiffs take passengers ashore on exploratory excursions, whether that means scanning the water’s edge for Great Blue Herons or trekking to a turtle sanctuary. You can also kayak, paddle board, or snorkel right off the ship's platform on the stern, which is specially designed so you don’t need to climb up and down ladders to reach it.
Knowledgeable Guides: Experts in everything from marine life to birds make up the expedition crew. Their lectures and insider knowledge make exploring new destinations a joy as much as a discovery.
Repeat Guests: There is a fierce loyalty to the UnCruise brand among passengers, many of who seem to be going down the list of every destination on offer to soak up the line's signature nature-rich itineraries. More often than not, some passengers will recognize fellow guests and employees from former trips.
