Polished, unwavering, and upscale, the Safari Endeavour may be the workhorse of the fleet but it's her zest-for-life persona that's remembered most. She looks sharp-a nod to the crew who work hard to keep her that way. Wood fixtures and accents shine and artwork highlights the warm and cool waters where she sails. No other UnCruise ship covers more territory, and like her namesake, Captain Cook's Endeavour, both the ship and crew are true explorers.

Always reliable, the captain and crew take great pride in their ship and the teamwork that keeps her running smoothly. And it shows. You can be sure if there is a score to be settled, the captain will argue she's the "greatest" ship in the fleet. Her roomy lounge, dining room, and sun deck are undisputed, but the Safari Endeavour claims to have the biggest heart, too.

Ready for adventure at a moment's notice, the Safari Endeavour is fully loaded with adventure equipment: kayaks; paddle boards; inflatable skiffs; hiking poles; and snorkel gear and wetsuits; plus, a hydrophone for listening to below-surface sounds and a bow-mounted underwater camera. For those moments when attention turns to relaxation, the vessel comes equipped with two hot tubs, fitness equipment, yoga mats, and a massage suite.

Depending on the category, singles, doubles or triples can be accommodated. Common to all cabins are: Flat-screen TV/DVD; iPod docking station; air conditioning; desk and chair; private bath with shower; generous storage and closet space.

• Relax in the on-deck hot tub*
• Nutritious meals with local ingredients
• Laps around the deck
• Complimentary massage aboard select vessels*
• Fitness equipment or on-deck yoga stretches
• Active adventure gear for kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, and hiking

*Available on some sailings.

Humpbacks lunge into a bubble net feeding frenzy the moment plates are served. An otter swims up to the dining room windows with her baby on her belly, getting everyone out of their seats (we've all done it). It's no easy feat to prepare and serve dishes that consistently garner praise. There are special needs to be met, varying availability of ingredients, and there's always potential for those unexpected dining guests.

Every meal is handcrafted by our executive chefs to ensure innovative, nutritious, and delectable dining experiences that highlight flavors of the region.

What to expect:

• Early-riser breakfasts of fresh fruit and baked-on-board pastries
• Full breakfasts with hot and cold options and specialty items
• Lunches range from salads, sandwiches, and homemade soups to regionally-influenced dishes
• Dinners offer a choice of entrees including fresh, local seafood and meats
• Chef-selected wine pairings that complement your meal
• Made-from-scratch desserts like tiramisu and lavender panna cotta
• Varied hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour
• Vegetarian dishes are available at all meals
• Special dietary needs can be met with advance notice

Unless there's a special barbecue or lunch on shore, most dinners are served over several courses. Attention is always paid to your personal preferences. The dining experience is casual. And seating is open so you can join new friends and choose a different table at every meal.

Unleash Your Excitement - Focused on experiencing life on the outside - rain or shine - our adventure cruises are offered in a variety of destinations, a mix of price points (some generously inclusive), and an exciting range of activities aboard boutique yachts and expedition vessels. Kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, snorkeling, skiff excursions, and cultural encounters top the agenda.

Each day's activities take advantage of the current conditions and opportunities, and are planned to suit a range of skill levels and preferences. You could be kayaking one morning and snorkeling the next; or another day may offer a leisurely afternoon shore walk or a rigorous hike. So take it easy, or stay on the go - your onboard expedition team will provide the insight needed for you to make a safe and enjoyable choice.

Our 22- to 86-guest vessels are ready for action and equipped with top-of-the-line kayaks, paddle boards, hiking poles, binoculars, and many even feature a custom-built kayak launch system. And depending on your destination and vessel, snorkeling gear and wet suits. We provide the adventure, equipment, opportunities, fun, expert crew, expedition guides, and the vessel. The rest... is up to you!

Our onboard amenities allow you to escape through complimentary yoga classes, relaxing in on-deck hot tubs or saunas, enjoying a good workout on the fitness equipment, or being pampered by our Wellness Director/Massage Therapist. Nature's splendor takes care of the rest. And at the end of your voyage, our onboard team will send you off with a renewed sense of beauty and spirit.

A complimentary massage is an included amenity aboard the Safari Endeavour, Safari Explorer, and S.S. Legacy. Massage is available aboard all of our expedition vessels; however, there is an additional charge for the service. Depending on your Massage Therapist, your massage-style choices may include traditional massage, lomi lomi, shiatsu, or a comfortable chair massage. (Exception, the Safari Quest does not offer massage or sauna.)

Rejuvenate your body as well as your spirit.

Each vessel has a unique personality. But they all share a universal goal - to provide relaxation, comfort, and camaraderie. The ambience is welcoming and casual. The crew call you by name and quickly know your preferences, making you feel right at home. And by the end of the cruise, you and your fellow travelers will feel like one big family.

You'll be impressed with how enthusiastic and accommodating the crew is. There's good energy and excitement. The meals are plentiful and scrumptious. It's a classy, well-run operation. At least that's what past guests are saying. What they least-expected though, was the bonding. Sharing adventures with people who became friends for life, and meeting so many returning passengers.

Outer Decks & Inner Spaces

• An inviting dining room
• Main lounge or salon (with a variety of board games, books, and DVDs)
• Observation decks for wildlife viewing and relaxing under the stars
• Open bridge policy - visit with your captain and mates
• And possibly, a galley tour (it's amazing what they do in this space)

Everyone has their preferences, be it solitude or a few laughs with others. And on board, it's easy to have both. There are quiet nooks and crannies where you can dive into a good book or sketch the passing landscapes. Visit the captain on the bridge and learn about navigation. Or perhaps you'd rather mingle in the lounge or hang out on the bow eyeing the next WOW! moment.
