The 12-guest Kruzof Explorer, formerly a Bering Sea crab fishing boat, was originally constructed to have one of the toughest hulls on the planet, allowing her the capability to explore remote areas and sail through bodies of water where few other ships can venture. This ship’s work days have come to an end and she has now been transformed into a premier expedition Alaska small ship cruise vessel, ready to take passengers into the depths of the remote Alaskan wilderness.
