Safari Quest

Safari Quest is a small cruise ship built in 1992 and operated by UnCruise Adventures. She carries 22 guests and features a navy blue hull, offering a refined onboard atmosphere that blends expedition style cruising with real luxury. The vessel underwent an extensive drydock refurbishment in 2013.

This is a proper small ship experience, not a floating resort. The yacht has 11 cabins across four categories, all with oceanview windows and private heated bathrooms. Her intimate scale means there's no vast atrium or theatre; instead, the focus falls on what happens ashore and on the water, and on the people you travel with. Safari Quest is USA flagged and crewed entirely by Americans.

The captain often adjusts the itinerary to suit passengers' interests or to take advantage of wildlife viewing opportunities, and that kind of flexibility sits right at the heart of the experience. Adventure equipment includes stand up paddleboards and kayaks, inflatable skiffs, hiking poles, and a hydrophone for listening to underwater sounds. The yacht can easily access areas larger vessels simply cannot, and provides complimentary adventure equipment throughout, including paddleboards, kayaks, inflatable skiffs, and an underwater camera linked to the lounge and cabin TVs.

Onboard, there's genuine space to gather, with amenities including a Sun Lounge, Lounge, Bar, and Library. The spa area features an on-deck hot tub, available on Alaska itineraries only, alongside fitness equipment, a sauna, and complimentary massage.

Safari Quest tends to draw well-heeled American travellers in their 40s and older who appreciate the intimate experience this motor yacht provides. She suits travellers after genuine expedition cruising, a small group, hands-on exploration, and the freedom to adjust course at short notice.
