As someone who believes exploring the world is the best form of education, I am excited to share an exciting travel opportunity that combines adventure with family bonding. Unlike any other travel experience, UnCruise Adventures, a small ship adventure cruise line, has recently unveiled a new family-focused Alaska cruise for 2023.
Adventure awaits in Alaska
The ‘Alaska Family Discoveries’ cruise, specially designed for families with children aged six and up, is set to sail on a roundtrip from Juneau, Alaska. Its seven-night itinerary is an absolute representation of UnCruise’s mission to take its guests to areas beyond reach. To anyone who has always been intrigued by the natural wonders of Alaska, this cruise provides an opportunity to experience the state’s wilderness and wildlife like never before. Be prepared to be swept away by majestic glaciers, towering landscapes, and exquisite wildlife, including eagles, whales, and bears.
Beyond the stunning scenery, the cruise is loaded with activities to engage children and spark their interest in the natural world. From nature hikes, skiff rides, and paddleboarding, to exploring ice caves and touching glaciers, there is no shortage of activities to engage everyone in the family.
A learning journey for children
The cruise goes beyond a mere holiday. It is an immersive learning journey. Onboard experts will be providing interpretation on kids’ level, making it a riveting, educational experience for them. Youths will have the opportunity to meet and interact with Alaska locals and learn about their customs, traditions, and lifestyle, giving them a deeper understanding of the world beyond their textbooks.
Partnering with Kids Sea Camp
In a move to deepen its commitment to family-centred voyages, UnCruise Adventures is partnering with Kids Sea Camp, an organization that promotes ocean education for children. This partnership will see supervised, age-appropriate children’s programming being a part of its ‘Alaska Family Discoveries’ cruise. The cruise is not only about creating unforgettable family memories but empowering children with knowledge about marine life and the importance of conserving our planet.
Set to sail in July 2023, bookings for the cruise have already started, with an optional add-on to extend the cruise for up to four days in Glacier Bay National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage site. This is an opportunity for families to disconnect from their digital lives and immerse themselves in the endless beauty of Alaska’s landscapes and seascapes.
The ‘Alaska Family Discoveries’ cruise is sure to bring a new perspective to family holidays, skillfully blending exploration, education, and adventure. By exposing them to diverse cultures and stimulating their curiosity about the natural world, UnCruise Adventures is paving the way for children to become enlightened and responsible global citizens. I firmly believe experiences like these can play a vital role in shaping our children’s worldview, and I am excited to see what the future holds for family-focused travel.
