Experience Alaska up close and personal aboard the MV Gyrfalcon small ship cruise. This historic boat provides an intimate Alaskan experience with only six guests aboard at a time. The MV Gyrfalcon is a 27mtr/88ft fantail built in 1941 and was used as a survey vessel for the US Coast Guard and Geodesic Survey for 25 years. Owners and operators Nancy Everds and Peter Mann purchased and renovated the boat in 2012, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for guests to relax and unwind while exploring all that native Alaska offers. Observe breathtaking scenery and wildlife from the Gyrfalcon’s decks, get closer to nature on one of the boat’s kayaks, or take the dinghy to shore and explore on foot. Thanks to the Gyrfalcon’s smaller size, you will have the privilege of visiting more remote locations inaccessible to the larger cruise ships. A maximum guest capacity of six guests guarantees an intimate, meaningful experience with personalized service. Guests share two hot water showers and two heads with comfortable accommodations. Each stateroom has a double bed with cozy blankets, drawers for storage, hooks for jackets, a bedside lamp, and USB and 110V outlets for charging. Unwind aboard the MV Gyrfalcon on one of the many decks or outdoor seating areas and enjoy freshly prepared food in the spacious saloon.
