Un-Cruise Adventures bringing the Legacy back to Alaska

Un-Cruise Adventures unveiled its schedule of Alaska voyages for 2018, including a repositioning of the 88-passenger Legacy to once again sail in Alaska in the summer.

The coastal steamer replica has been doing an itinerary on the Columbia River from Portland for the past few summers.

Un-Cruise said the Legacy and the 84-guest Safari Endeavour sail 13 departures from Juneau to Sitka and see glaciers in Tracy Arm or Endicott Arm, Thomas Bay, Baird Glacier, Le Conte Glacier, Ideal Cove, Frederick Sound, Baranof Island, Sergius Narrows and the native village of Kake. The Legacy will be newly equipped with kayaks and skiffs.

The two vessels will also offer 13 departures on an upper Inside Passage-focused itinerary from Sitka to Juneau. This route explores Krestof Sound, Icy Strait, Glacier Bay National Park, Chichagof Island and Lynn Canal.

Also new in 2018, the adventure outpost of Haines has been added to five itineraries. A full day of activities in Haines includes a float trip down the Chilkat River (on most itineraries), a guided hike, bikes for riding into town and a shipboard presentation by local Chilkat Tlingit members.
