Wildlife Encounters, Up Close
Alaska’s wildlife isn’t something you watch from a distance — it’s part of the journey.
• Whales: Orcas can be seen throughout the cruising season, while humpback whales return in force from June through August, often showcasing dramatic breaching and bubble-net feeding.
• Bears: From July through September, salmon runs draw black bears and grizzlies to shorelines and hatcheries, especially around Chichagof and Baranof Islands — areas UnCruise explores in depth.
• More wildlife: Sea otters, bald eagles, moose and countless seabirds round out the experience.
While nature is never scripted, UnCruise’s access and expert-led exploration dramatically increase the chances of unforgettable encounters.
