Swell Cruise Ship, Alaska


Highlights

  • Converted tugboat with classic charm
  • Wood-paneled salon and charming lounges
  • Get up close to incredible wildlife

Look no further than the Swell yacht for a fantastic small-ship adventure cruise in Alaska. She is a classic converted tugboat accommodating up to 12 guests in 6 private en-suite cabins. A $4-million refit means she offers amenities found on no other ship in her class in the region. The spacious wood-paneled salon offers a charming place to relax, read a book or play a quiet game. During meal-times, the salon is set up as a dining room so guests can enjoy the delicious onboard cuisine, snacks, and drinks available. There are two Aft Deck lounges: one on the main deck, an enclosed space perfect for enjoying the stunning surrounding views. The upper deck aft lounge has comfortable sofas and a semi-covered hot tub.

Itineraries aboard the tugboat Swell explore the best of Alaska's Inside Passage. Cruise through Fredrick Sound, Endicott Arm, Tracy Arm, and Baranoff Island on a 9, 10, or 11-day cruise to get up close to incredible wildlife. Brown bears, humpback whales, sea otters, icebergs, glaciers, and historic towns are all on the agenda creating a small-ship Alaskan cruise to remember.
