The small ship, Wilderness Adventurer, is an expedition ship capable of nimble exploration through nature’s most dramatic hideaways. The shallow draft and hull design allow easy access to Southeast Alaska’s wildlife-rich shores and glacially-fed inlets and serve as ideal “launching pads” for an exciting array of daily adventure excursions. A fully-equipped fishing boat also travels with each small ship.

Cabin Specifications
The Wilderness Adventurer offers cozy, well-appointed cabins that provide both comfort and functionality after a day of exploration. Each cabin features private facilities, large view windows that frame Alaska’s breathtaking wilderness, and thoughtful touches like an iPod docking station for personal entertainment. Bathrooms are equipped with hair dryers and complimentary bath amenities, including shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotion. Guests can also enjoy in-room entertainment with flat-screen TVs and DVD players, which are electronically connected throughout the ship to allow sharing of daily excursion videos on designated channels. Designed for convenience and relaxation, the cabins reflect a simple yet modern style that complements the expedition spirit of the ship.

Features Onboard
Purpose-built for adventure, the small but mighty Wilderness Adventurer is an expedition vessel designed to explore Alaska’s most secluded and wildlife-rich areas. Its shallow draft and nimble hull allow access to glacial inlets, hidden coves, and remote shorelines that larger ships cannot reach. The ship’s interior features contemporary design elements—clean lines, brushed metals, and natural tones—that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Guests can unwind in the main salon, where large flat-screen TVs are used to showcase daily excursion videos, or gather at the bar to enjoy a wide selection of microbrews, fine wines, and spirits. Educational presentations by onboard naturalists often take place in the salon or are broadcast to the cabins, enriching the expedition experience.

Evenings onboard offer a balance of relaxation and camaraderie. Guests may enjoy a massage, read from the ship’s extensive resource library, or share stories from the day’s adventures during cocktail hour before a freshly prepared dinner. For entertainment, hundreds of DVD titles are available, and personal or group videos captured during excursions often spark lively conversations.

Designed as a true adventure hub, the Wilderness Adventurer carries a full complement of equipment for daily excursions, including kayaks, paddleboards, drysuits, snorkeling gear, inflatable skiffs, trekking poles, reusable water bottles, and overnight camping gear. A fully equipped fishing boat also accompanies the vessel, expanding opportunities for exploration and outdoor discovery. Whether you’re paddling through glacial waters, hiking remote trails, or simply enjoying the view from deck, the Wilderness Adventurer delivers an authentic and immersive Alaskan experience.
