The David B Has Privacy

The accommodations aboard the small ship David B are  comfortable and private. All of our cabins have a private “head”. That means you get your own sink and toilet. Each cabin is clean and spacious with natural light, fresh air, comfortable beds, and warm bedding. The Chinook, Sockeye, and Coho staterooms each have a queen-sized bed. Our Keta stateroom has two single bunks, both of which are extra-long. All of our passenger cabins have lots of storage for your belongings and more than 7-foot high standing headroom. For more information visit the interior layout page. The David B also has another shared head that is very spacious and has a cast-iron bathtub, sink and toilet, natural light, and fresh air.

We Go Where the Mega-Cruise Ships Don’t and Often Can’t

Our style of cruising is slow-paced and we focus on the spaces between the destinations. The Inside Passage and Alaska are a unique experience. We anchor each night so you get to feel and connect with the quiet coves and bays on your cruise with us. This is in sharp contrast to the industrialized mega-ship cruise lines where you are shuffled from destination to destination with thousands of other people. While the cruise ships are running through the night with their casinos, bright lights, loud public address systems, dance halls, movie theaters, and hair salons, you’ll be listening to the gentle lapping of water against the hull of the David B and the occasional breath of a seal surfacing just a few feet off in our secluded anchorage.

The David B is the perfect alternative to mainstream cruise ships or for anyone searching for a specialized cruise on an uncommon boat. Contact us to experience the David B for yourself!
