History - construction and ownership

The 22-passenger ship Safari Quest has a navy blue hull and offers refined atmosphere, just like all other UnCruise ships – the expedition-style cruising is combined with luxury.

UnCruise Adventures (formerly American Safari Cruises) is a USA-based, wholly-owned cruise company, a subsidiary of InnerSea Discoveries Alaska. In 2013, the American Safari Cruises line was renamed to "Un-Cruise Adventures". Currently, the company has 2 headquarters - main headquarters in Seattle WA and second in Juneau AK.

The yacht Safari Quest has only 11 cabins (in 4 grades), all of which are ocean-view, and have private heated bathrooms. The Balcony Suites are four.

Onboard venues include Salon (bar lounge), Wine Library, dining room (complimentary restaurant). The boat easily visits areas that bigger ships can't and provides its passengers complimentary with adventure equipment - including paddleboards, kayaks, skiffs (inflatable speed boats), hydrophone and underwater camera (linked to the yacht’s lounge and cabin TVs). The spa area includes an on-deck hot tub (Alaska only), fitness equipment, sauna and a complimentary massage. The ship also has a Sun Lounge, Lounge, Bar and Library.

The 22-guest Safari Quest cruise ship is a small yacht sailing to off-the-beaten-path regions. The captain often changes the itinerary route to take advantage of passenger interests or wildlife viewing opportunities.
