JUNEAU — UnCruise Adventures has launched WiFi across much of its fleet.
The cruise line said the move comes in response to guest feedback.
In an interesting twist, when it’s time to enter national parks and remote wildlife zones, the signal intentionally fades, making space for quiet moments, wild encounters and true digital detox, according to the cruise line.
“We set out to create a connection that works where it matters most – without taking away from what makes an UnCruise special,” said Morris Lowitz, Solutions Engineer and lead on the WiFi rollout. “It took careful planning to bring WiFi to such remote places, but our goal was always clear: give guests the option to connect, while preserving the chance to truly disconnect when it counts.”
Guests sailing aboard the Wilderness Adventurer, Wilderness Discoverer, Safari Endeavour, Wilderness Legacy, and Safari Quest will now have access to onboard WiFi. The connectivity rollout is also on the horizon for Safari Explorer and Safari Voyager.
As UnCruise Adventures owner and CEO, Captain Dan Blanchard, put it: “Our guests are adventurers, but they’re also parents, business owners, caretakers, and eager to share their experiences in real time. We heard their call for occasional connection, and we answered with care. At the same time, we’ve safeguarded the core of the UnCruise experience: uninterrupted immersion in nature. By turning off WiFi in protected areas, we ensure that the wilderness remains a place of wonder, not just another place to scroll.”
