About Safari Quest
Safari Quest is an UnCruise Adventures cruise ship, in service since 1992. She carries 22 guests. She sails Alaska, Pacific Coast itineraries. We rate her 3.0 out of 5.
Safari Quest is the smallest ship in the UnCruise fleet, a 37-metre yacht built in 1992 that carries just 22 guests in 11 cabins. Her size gets her into tightly managed wilderness areas where only a couple of small groups are allowed each day, and her four decks hold an observation deck with a hot tub, an open bridge, a small library, a lounge and a dining room. A full-width swim step, an underwater bow camera, kayaks and paddleboards support the day's activities. She sails round trips from Juneau to Glacier Bay and Alaska's glacier country, as well as Inside Passage voyages between Seattle and Juneau by way of the San Juan Islands.
