The small ship, Wilderness Discoverer, 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 Discoverer’s cabins are thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and relaxation after a day of exploration. Each cabin features private facilities and large view windows that frame Alaska’s stunning wilderness landscapes. Bathrooms are equipped with essential amenities including a hair dryer and bath products such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotion. For in-room entertainment, every cabin has a flat-screen TV and DVD player, all connected to the ship’s network, allowing guests to view daily excursion footage captured by fellow travelers. The cozy yet functional design provides the perfect retreat, balancing comfort and practicality in an intimate expedition setting.
Features Onboard
The Wilderness Discoverer is a nimble expedition vessel purpose-built to access Alaska’s most remote and scenic destinations. Its shallow draft and specialized hull design enable it to navigate wildlife-rich shores and glacial inlets that larger ships can’t reach, while an accompanying fishing boat expands exploration opportunities. Inside, the ship blends modern design with expedition charm—contemporary colors, brushed metals, and natural accents that mirror the beauty outside.
The main salon serves as the social heart of the ship, where guests gather each evening to share stories, watch daily excursion videos on large flat-screen TVs, or enjoy a selection of microbrews, fine wines, and spirits from the bar. Educational presentations by onboard naturalists are also broadcast in the salon and cabins, enriching the voyage with fascinating insights into the region’s ecology and wildlife.
Life aboard the Wilderness Discoverer offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Guests can unwind with a good book from the extensive resource library, join cocktail hour before a freshly prepared dinner, or simply enjoy quiet reflection surrounded by Alaska’s pristine landscapes.
For outdoor exploration, the ship is fully equipped with a wide array of adventure gear, including kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling gear, drysuits, inflatable skiffs, trekking poles, reusable water bottles, and overnight camping equipment. Every day brings new opportunities for hands-on discovery and up-close encounters with nature, making the Wilderness Discoverer an ideal vessel for an authentic small-ship expedition experience.
