The 76-guest Wilderness Discoverer underwent extensive refurbishment in early 2011 and guest raves are still flowing. Expedition is top-of-mind with this vessel; and adventure and discovery lay at its heart. The interior complements the outside and public and private spaces are loaded with amenities. Enjoy a main lounge that evokes the feel of a National Park Lodge or neighborhood pub and relax on deck or keep watch for wildlife.
The Lounge has a large flat-screen TV featuring closed-circuit channels which include a GPS map of the location of the ship and an under-bow camera. Movies are shown at night in case enough passengers agree. The lounge also has a limited library, filled with wildlife encyclopedias and Alaska guidebooks. Guests can buy hiking gear, knit caps and T-shirts, with and without the logo of UnCruise Adventures. Binoculars are available for wildlife-spotting.
The Dining Room features open seating, buffet-style meals at set times. Unlimited beverages, alcoholic and non, are included in the price of the cruise. Vegetarian options are always available. Dietary restrictions happily accommodated with advanced notice.
