Safari Explorer

Exploration Tools

Hike, swim, kayak, paddle board, snorkel, and sail your way through a paradise like no other.

Gear up with a snorkel and flippers, and duck below the surface to discover coral gardens teeming with underwater life. Tandem sit-on-top kayak allow you to join a guided paddle to a planned destination, or explore at your own pace on an open paddle. For an easygoing adventure, step off the beam and into an inflatable skiff. Hikes are available for every activity level; from quiet strolls to rugged climbs up to sweeping cliff-side viewpoints.

Inclusive cruises aboard Safari Explorer feature these activities at no extra charge. With a well stocked ship with outdoor recreation gear, everyone is invited to get in on the fun.

Salon and Bar

The spacious salon, where lectures on the environment, wildlife, history, and culture of the region are held, and wine library features cozy chairs, warm wood accents and a large flat-screen television with DVD player. Spacious couches and a piano adorn the lounge, adjacent to a full-service bar (stocked with complimentary premium beer and spirits).

The bar is guaranteed to wet passenger’s whistle. Wines tend to come from Washington and Oregon, but impressive international wines are also available. Behind the bar, you’ll find premium and small-batch, craft spirits. Cocktails are mixed with seasonal, local ingredients, house-made mixers, and cordials, even some house-infused spirits (like a cucumber vodka or gin). The UnCruise Bloody Mary mix is popular, too (guests line up for the stuff). And while the occasional tastings do pop up, most bartenders are tinkerers by nature. Inspiration can come from the unique experiences of the day, the wilderness explored, or stories from hearty explorers

Dining

Safari Explorer’s Dining Room provides a bright, cheery, casual atmosphere to dine with fellow passengers.

Early-riser breakfasts of fresh fruit and baked-on-board pastries
 compliment full breakfasts with hot and cold options. Lunches featuring salads, sandwiches, homemade soups, and 
regionally influenced dishes
. A variety of hors d’oeuvres are available during the late afternoon cocktail hour
. Dinners with a choice of entrées including fresh, local seafood, meats, and vegetarian dishes. Finish your culinary adventure off with made-from-scratch desserts like tiramisu and lavender panna cotta

Unless there’s a special barbecue or lunch on shore, most dinners are served over several courses. Attention is always paid to your personal preferences and dietary restrictions. The atmosphere and dress code in each ship’s dining room is casual. And the seating is open so you can join new friends and choose a different table at every meal.
