About This Vessel
Built in 1980 in the United States and extensively rebuilt in 2012, this small expedition cruise ship carries 49 overnight passengers in 25 outside cabins with private facilities, including two deluxe suites of about 210 sq ft, and has berths for 19 crew. Public areas include a forward lounge with bar and library, a dining room, a spacious bow viewing area, a covered promenade deck and an open sun deck. An aft crane handles the skiffs 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.
