Services
Safety is paramount and we strive to provide a professional service but what really makes a cruise on Discovery special is the intangible.
Some of our competitors have shortened their trips to 6 nights while some '7 night' cruises include the first night in a hotel.
On shorter cruises it's Alaska's tranquil solitude and time spent with wildlife that you sacrifice - the time to kayak or walk on a secluded beach, the extra time we have to spend with Humpback Whales or the chance to stop at a natural hot spring.

You are standing on the starboard side of the bow waiting for the whales to resurface but they come up on the port side instead.
You move quickly to the other side and get some fantastic photos of a mother and calf right beside the boat.
A whisper of breeze caresses your face as we cruise beneath towering granite walls and cascading waterfalls in a misty fjord.
The view is breathtaking, the serenity is tangible and you feel inexplicably alive as you become lost in the moment.
We come upon a small stream where a Brown Bear splashes as he catches salmon.

In 1998 'Discovery' was again up for sale.
Desperately in need of attention she caught the eye of Captain Ben Swanson.
With his father and another partner they purchased the boat.
This team of talented craftsmen was just what 'Discovery' needed and over the next 12 months she underwent a total restoration.
Knowledge gained from 17 years of chartering in Alaska and having owned and maintained three previous wooden boats paid off.
With a perfect blend of old world charm and modern conveniences 'Discovery' has been restored to her former glory and is today a well appointed charter yacht with 6 comfortable Staterooms, a fully equipped Galley and a Forward, Main and formal Dining Salon for entertaining.
