Have you heard of “Un-Cruise”?   They are a Virtuoso preferred supplier and we have heard so many great things about them and finally did  some of their specialist training this week – VIDEO HERE

Un-cruise specialize in small ship adventure cruising with vessels ranging from 22-90 passengers max.   Some of the destinations Un-cruise offer include: Alaska,  Galapagos, Hawaiian Islands, Latin America, Mexico’s Sea of Cortes, Pacific Northwest & the one we are focusing on this week – Columbia & Snake rivers USA. VIDEO HERE

No matter how you travel—with a companion, family, solo, or in a group—connection, place, and adventure are at the heart of your exploration.  Uncover hidden treasures, meet locals (the human, feathered, and wild-and-woolly ones), and learn while having fun. Change the way you see the world.

Our definition of Un-ness:

Breaking away from the masses. Challenge. Freely used to release, exemplify, or intensify a force or quality. To engage, connect, and explore unique places, oneself, and with others on a most uncommon adventure.   Unrushed. Uncrowded. Unbelievable.

Doesn’t that sound heavenly?
