UnCruise Adventures Debuts “Baja Destination Discover”

JUNEAU, Alaska--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UnCruise Adventures proudly unveils Baja Destination Discover, a vibrant new special hosted by travel journalist Alison Ahmoye. In this episode, Alison immerses viewers in the wonders of Baja California, Mexico’s Sea of Cortez, spotlighting UnCruise’s signature small-ship experiences with its two cruises, the 7-night Whales & Sealife and the 10-night In Steinbeck’s Wake: An Epic Voyage Through the Sea of Cortez, along Baja’s sun-drenched shores.

Bringing Baja to Life

Filmed aboard the Safari Voyager, the program captures Alison snorkeling alongside playful sea lions in crystal-clear coves, gliding through hidden inlets by kayak, and balancing atop a paddleboard as schools of tropical fish swirl beneath her. She joins local rancheros for mule rides through the arid beauty of Bahía Agua Verde, hikes volcanic trails alive with bird song, and caps each day with an authentic, locally sourced meal. Alison’s first-person narration and immersive footage bring viewers along for an experience that showcases the true spirit of how to discover Mexico.

“From snorkeling with sea-lion pups to swapping stories around the campfire, Baja Destination Discover shows exactly why the Sea of Cortez is called ‘the world’s aquarium.’ Baja’s vibrant biodiversity and the genuine warmth of its people capture the spirit of UnCruise Adventures perfectly. Sailing aboard our small ships provides an intimate, flexible alternative to cookie-cutter all-inclusive resorts and mega-ship voyages, allowing guests to explore hidden coves, connect with local communities, and experience Mexico on their own terms,” said Founder and CEO Captain Dan Blanchard.
