In 2008, the then American Safari Cruises was purchased by the parent company InnerSea Discoveries Alaska Inc.[5] In early 2013 after a fleet expansion, the American Safari Cruises was renamed to Un-Cruise Adventures.[6] In 2016, the company rebranded itself UnCruise Adventures, while also unveiling a new logo.[7] Currently the cruise line operates 9 ships, 8 of which are fully owned, and a majority sailing under the U.S. flag. The cruise liner operates two headquarters, the main headquarters is located in Seattle, Washington and the second located in Juneau, Alaska. It offers small group tours and expedition voyages in destinations ranging from Alaska to the Galápagos Islands.[8][9]
