About This Vessel
Built in 1979 in the United States and refitted in 2011, this small expedition cruise ship carries 49 overnight passengers in 25 outside cabins with private facilities, including an owner's suite with forward-facing windows, and has berths for 21 crew. Public areas include a forward lounge and bar, a dining room, a bow viewing area and an open sun deck aft. Two aft cranes handle the skiffs and rescue boat used for shore landings, and kayaks were carried for excursions. US-built and US-flagged, she operated overnight expedition cruises in Alaska until the end of the 2025 season and holds a USCG Certificate of Inspection valid to 2027. At an estimated asking price of US$1.25 million, she suits coastal expedition, adventure-travel or charter operators, particularly buyers needing a US-flag vessel. QPS Marine Ships can arrange inspections and the review of USCG and survey records for qualified buyers.
