Wilderness Legacy, previously known as S.S. Legacy, is a 59-metre, U.S.-flagged ship built in 1984 and the highest-capacity vessel in the fleet, with 44 cabins for 88 guests. She has carved wooden cabinetry, an owner's suite, two hot tubs on the bridge deck, three bow viewing areas, the largest lounge in UnCruise's Alaska fleet, and the fleet's only elevator, which does not reach the top deck. A portable platform called the Sea Dragon launches kayaks and paddleboards. She sails seven-night round trips from Juneau to Glacier Bay and longer Inside Passage voyages between Seattle and Juneau.
