About This Vessel
Built in 1984 in the United States and given a major rebuild in 2015–2016, this 53.8-meter small expedition cruise ship carries 74 to 80 overnight passengers in 40 outside cabins with private facilities, including four deluxe suites of about 208 sq ft, and has berths for 30 crew. The rebuild added bow and stern viewing decks and a forward bar lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows. Other public areas include a dining room with large windows, a library, a salt room and an open sun deck. US-built and US-flagged, she operated overnight cruises in Alaska until the end of the 2025 season, and a new five-year USCG Certificate of Inspection was issued in April 2026. At an estimated asking price of US$2.75 million, she suits coastal and expedition cruise operators or charter programs, particularly buyers needing a US-flag vessel. QPS Marine Ships can arrange inspections and the review of USCG and survey records for qualified buyers.
